That is why it is important to pay attention on some specific details that sometimes on the pictures or hotel’s descriptions are not mentioned at all. In this little guidebook we will tell you about specifics of hotel’s system in Ischia, that will help you to choose the right hotel for every single tourist based on his taste. So, at this point we are going to start from the most common questions of every tourist: “why” and “where” to book the hotel for making vacation unforgettable. Please note, in our guidebook we considered the main groups of hotels in Ischia according to our classification. 8 9 HOTELS, BEACHES AND SEA… It is always important to know the difference between the concept of distance to the sea and the distance to the beach. On the island there are many hotels with a minimal distance to the sea but at the same time located far from the beach. It’s due to the fact that beach line does not completely encircle the whole island but only some parts of it. Moreover, it is important to remember, that even though the hotel located with minimal distance from the sea, it’s not the fact there is a direct descent to it. Please note, here some of the → hotels which are located on so-called “fake” first beach line: HOTEL LE QUERCE 4* - is located about 120 meters above the sea level, descent to the sea by using the stairs (about 80 stairs) HOTEL CONTINENTAL MARE 4* - is located about 120 meters above the sea level, descent to the sea by using the stairs (about 110 stairs) HOTEL MYAGE 4* – is located about 120 meters above the sea level, but without direct descent to the sea PUNTA CHIARITO RESORT 4* - 70 meters above the sea level, descent to the sea by using stairs, about 200 stairs + 150 meters (natural thermal Bay of Sorgetto) 10 NETTUNO 4* - 20 meters across the street, but without direct descent to the sea SANTA LUCIA 3* - 20 meters across the street, but without direct descent to the sea *** HOTELS ON FIRST BEACH LINE *** Ischia boasts to have a big amount of large and beautiful sandy beaches located in different communes-cities. That is why the island has lots of hotels located on first beach line. BUT! Pay attention and always remember that even though hotel is located on first beach line, it doesn’t mean it has its own beach! → Hotels on first beach line, but without own beach (beach and beach equipment for extra charge): PARCO AURORA 4*, Ischia Porto HOTEL TERME ALEXANDER 4*, Ischia Porto SOLEMAR TERME 4*, Ischia Porto IMPERIAL AND VILLA PARADISO 4*, Ischia Porto ALBERGO TERME VILLA SVIZZERA 4* (paid beach across the road right in front of the hotel), Lacco Ameno HOTEL VILLA CAROLINA 4* (free not equipped beach across the road and paid equipped beach in 300 m from the hotel), Forio 11 HOTEL TERME ZI CARMELA 3*SUP (free not equipped beach across the street in front of the hotel and paid equipped beach in 300 meters from hotel), Forio HOTEL SANTA MARIA 3*, Forio HOTEL SEMIRAMIS 3*, Forio HOTEL CITARA 3*, Forio HOTEL CESOTTA 3*, Forio HOTEL RIVA DEL SOLE 2*, Forio Sometimes even the hotel on first beach line does not always offer free beach equipment to the guests.

HYDROTHERAPY AND THERMAL PARKS Hydro-thermal value of the island of Ischia characterized by a large amount of springs with a wide variety of mineral water types. In the depths of the island is recorded the biggest concentration of underground thermal basins across the whole Europe. In total, throughout the whole territory discovered and cataloged 29 hydro-thermo mineral basins, other groups of similar natural springs, each of which contains special characteristics. What concern about chemical classification of water, in spite of its diversity, there are some common characteristics, that can be summarized as follow: — contains sodium, chlorine, potassium and calcium; — contains sulfur in the form of sulphates and sulphides; — contains microelements; — natural radioactivity; — temperature.

SMALL AND IMPORTANT DETAILS - It is important to mention while sailing the hotel to the client about the sea view from the room. If in description of the room is not mentioned a direct view to the sea (front sea view) it means, that a view can be partial or side sea view. It depends on the location of the hotel itself. Also, you have to remember, that Ischia – this is a green island, so it could happen, that apart from the sea view, the tourists can enjoy the view over the beautiful exotic trees. - In the town of Forio, sunset goes down exactly 1 hour later, so the day spending on the beach is longer. - Shopping and entertainment in the town of Ischia Porto - The best beaches in the town of Forio - The cheapest hotels are mostly located in Forio 26 VIII.
