Hotel Le Querce, Ischia

Located on the north coast of Ischia, the largest of the three islands in the Bay of Naples, the Hotel Le Querce provides a relaxing haven. The hotel has its own private beach and a wellness centre, where you can recharge your batteries with a treatment. You can also unwind with a glass of wine in either of the hotel's two bars, take a dip in either of the hotel's two thermal pools or exercise away the cares of the day in the hotel gym. You can also taste local dishes in the hotel's two restaurants or enjoy a game of pool in the billiards room.

Refurbished in 2005, the hotel's rooms have air conditioning, direct-dial telephone, shower, toilet, safe and mini-bar and some have balconies with panoramic views of the Bay of Naples. A free car park is available for guests. This four-star Ischia hotel makes a convenient base, being just 800 metres from the town centre and overlooking the island's most significant sight, the ancient Aragonese Castle (Castello Aragonese) which appeared in the film The Talented Mr Ripley and was once home to Vittoria Colonna, poet and close friend of Michelangelo.

While you're here be sure to take a wander round the shops at Ischia Porto and visit Casamicciola Terme, famous for its Gurgitello spring, and the La Mortella gardens near Forio. Make the most of the island location by taking plenty of boat trips - either to nearby islands Capri and Procida or to the mainland itself.
