Villa Olivia is an attractive, family-run property, situated about 10-15 minutes walk from the centre of the little town of Forio, Ischia's most western resort. The Villa stands back from the road in a large interesting garden of vines, cacti, olives, citrus fruits, roses and palms. Throughout the summer geraniums and bougainvillaea cascade colour everywhere. Amongst the trees there are two pools, a large outdoor swimming pool and a covered 'thermal' pool filled with natural spring water of between 30°C - 32°C. The villa is divided up into self-contained studio apartments which sleep 2-3 people. Each apartment has a kitchenette, shower room, and a balcony with sea or mountain view.

Town and location of object

show on map

The Island of Ischia: Known as the Green Island because of its abundant flora, Ischia is also renowned for its exceptionally mild climate and therapeutic springs. Formed almost exclusively of volcanic rock, Ischia is the largest island in the Bay of Naples, offering sandy beaches, crystal clear sea, wooded mountainsides and much more. Walkers can explore coastal paths or the rugged terrain of Monte Epomeo -789 metres high. History enthusiasts will enjoy the Aragonese Castle at Ischia Ponte, the archaeological Museum at Lacco Ameno and other interesting historical sites. The island bus service is good, with frequent buses to all the main points of interest. Car-hire is reasonably priced and the characteristic little Microtaxis are plentiful. Although the British have frequented the Isle of Capri and the Sorrentine peninsular for many years, they seem to have only recently re-discovered Ischia and its delights. One particular local attraction is the spectacular and exotic garden 'La Mortella' garden (see right).

Forio d' Ischia , Napoli , Campania , Italy

Forio: The largest town on the island, Forio is full of interesting shops, excellent restaurants and numerous pavement cafés where you can sit and watch the world pass by over a coffee, aperitif or ice cream. There is a daily market and several good bookshops - W H Auden spent much of his time here, as did Henrik Ibsen and others. The town has a picturesque harbour full of fishing and sailing boats from where you can catch the hydrofoil to Naples or round-the-island pleasure trips. Adjacent to the harbour are the beautiful beaches of Chiaia and San Francesco with pale sand and crystal clear water. Just beyond is the exotic garden 'La Mortella' created by Lady Susana Walton, widow of the English composer Sir William Walton, with the help of the celebrated landscape architect Russell Page. This year is the centenary of Sir William who died in 1983, so his music and the garden have been much-featured recently in the media. Summer visitors to the garden from can enjoy free classical concerts.

Additional Information

Crossing the Bay: At Molo Beverello, you have the option of taking an aliscafo or a traghetto to Ischia Porto at the north-eastern end of the island - or you can take an aliscafo directly to Forio, on the western side. These options depend on your arrival time at Molo Beverello, but please bear in mind that the last ferry for Ischia leaves Naples at 9.55pm. The aliscafo takes about 45 mins, whereas the ordinary ferry takes 90mins. There are also occasional fast (veloce) ferries which take about an hour. A single ticket on the aliscafo or fast ferry costs approximately 12 Euro, whereas the price of the ordinary ferry is only about 6 Euro and has the added advantage of providing you with beautiful views of the Bay of Naples, Vesuvius, Capri, Procida and the picturesque little harbour of Ischia Porto where you will arrive. (It is always advisable to buy single tickets as they are not transferable and you may need to return by a different method when you leave). Whether you eventually disembark at either Ischia Porto or Forio, you will need to take a taxi to your destination: Villa Olivia, Via Baiola 129, Forio. (081 - 998426)
