Ischia Travel Guide

Ischia is one of our favourite little seasode towns in Italy, that's a must visit for anyone travelling to Italy. A charming coastal town off the gulf of Naples, that's a short 40- minute boat ride away from port to port you'll love Ischia a beautiful little hidden gem of Italy.

A gorgeous town with plenty to do, beautiful people, divine accommodation and incredible local produce you could stay for days, however if you want to zip over and do the very best then 3-4 days is perfect!

The inspiration behind our ISCHIA Collection and our best-selling Visconti range, Ischia is a cultural mecca full of rich history, art, design and great cuisine.

We definitely recommend adding this idylic town to your next European Summer adventure. Enjoy our postcard series from our Founder, Nancy McDonald on her best travel tips for the island of Ischia.

La Cantinola Di Zio Jack

By far the best restaurant and cellar door in Ischia, a must visit to add to your itinerary. Perched on top of the mountain, the restaurant will pick you up from town and take you to the restaurant. Definitely order the rabbit - it's delicious and make sure you try their local wine from the cellar! A warm and welcoming team of locals are the most delightful company.
