For film fans holidays to Ischia will immediately evoke memories of the Anthony Minghella flick, The Talented Mr Ripley. But there's much more to this jewel in the Tyrrhenian Sea than an entry in the annals of movie trivia. Summer holidays to Ischia offer everything from striking scenery to great beaches, not to mention the opportunity to 'take the waters'. It's also not quite as exclusive as Capri. So, although you're unlikely to reveal many bargain holidays to Ischia, it's a more affordable option than its jet setting neighbour but just as sexy. Many of the properties on Ischia are spa hotels and, although they don't offer full blown all inclusive holidays, some feature packages which include spa treatments. For example, the Hotel Il Moresco has a superb spa and fitness and exercise centre offering the very latest health and beauty treatments, as well as no less than three spa swimming pools. Alternatively, there's the Mezzatorre Resort and Spa, which has a spa housed in a 16th century watchtower, as well as a tennis court, gym and a sea-facing saltwater swimming pool. As everywhere in Italy, holidays to Ischia are inextricably linked with great food. What's more, you won't have to pay a fortune to enjoy some good quality local fare. There's an excellent selection of small, privately run establishments serving fresh seafood pasta and pizza -including, of course, the famous 'Neapolitan' variety. And don't forget to round off your meal with a chilled glass of the famous limoncello liqueur, a favourite tipple right along the Amalfi Coast.
The charming resort of Ischia is situated on the Neapolitan Riviera. The Neapolitan Riviera is nestles around the Bay of Naples and debatably it occupies the most charming spot in the Mediterranean. Vistas over the bay of Naples offer magnificent views towards Capri and Mount Vesuvius in one of the most scenic spots in the Mediterranean. With small beaches of volcanic sands and a wealth of ancient history there are numerous things to keep you interested. If you enjoy shopping, Corso Italia in Sorrento is just the ticket. It offers plenty of boutiques and designer shops, so don't overlook this well known and dazzling landmark If you're searching for that must-have pair of shoes there's plenty to choose from. When it comes to food the Neapolitan Riviera pulls out all the stops. Relax in a little piazza, order an espresso and settle down for some serious people watching. Or perhaps search out a chic restaurant and enjoy a splendid meal. Whatever your choice there will be a bar or restaurant to suit you. Famed for its thermal spas, Ischia it's just the place if you fancy being pampered from head to toe.
