#islandtrip Ischia is a hot spring resort located an hour by boat from Naples. It is an island with a long history, having been owned by Augustus in ancient Roman times. ・ The Aragonese Castle is a fortress on a green island jutting out from the eastern end of the island. It is connected to the main island by a bridge, 300m away. This remote island itself is a tourist spot, so non-guests must purchase a ticket to enter the island. Go through a cave-like tunnel and take an elevator to the top. The 360-degree view of Ischia and the Bay of Naples is breathtaking. The colorful houses on the opposite shore are completely within your field of vision. You can see the sparkling sea, the refreshing breeze, and a large white ship slowly leaving the island in the distance. I think it's worth paying the entrance fee for this view. ・ There is a hotel on this island called "Albergo | Monastero". Albergo || Monastero is a hotel built on the site of a 16th-century monastery. It is simple, but the owner's good taste shines through everywhere. The blue and white tiles on the floor make you feel like you're on vacation on a southern island, and the tableware and candlesticks used in the restaurant are also cute. My favorite spot in this hotel is the farm where they grow their own vegetables, located behind the door leading to the guest rooms on the second floor. Located at the top of the island, organic tomatoes, eggplants, peppers, peppers, and wine grapes are brimming with sunlight. You can actually eat them in the restaurant. They use an ecosystem that stores water during the rainy season and uses it for cultivation, providing healthy and delicious flavors. The man in charge of the farm has been working hard since morning, and as I was watching him work, he gave me a sunflower that he was just trimming, saying, "Here you go."

Nestled on the sun-kissed shores of Ischia, the Punta Molino Beach Resort & Thermal Spa is a slice of paradise at Lungomare Cristoforo Colombo, 23. 🌅 Dive into luxury with their exclusive private beach 🏖️, where the waves kiss your toes, or soak in the healing embrace of their private terme pool – a gem in Ischia's crown! 🏊‍♂️ Park your worries (and your car!) for free and let the island spirit take over. Wake up to a delightful breakfast 🍳 and experience service that's nothing short of stellar. Big ups to the crew that makes your stay unforgettable – they're the real MVPs! 🌟 Can't wait to return to this coastal haven where the vibes are as warm as the sun! 🌞 #Ischia #IschiaHotel #IschiaTravel
