Villa Chiellini is located on the island of Ischia, in the beautiful Bay of Naples. Sweeping ocean views are seen from the villa’s private infinity pool, surrounded by abundant greenery and natural rock. A rustic wooden fence borders the sunny garden and handsomely paved terrace, which all face out to sea. Situated in a unique private resort with similar neighbouring villas and just in front of the famous Giardini La Mortella, Villa Chiellini is furnished in typical local fashion and decorated in simple white, fresh blue and soft beige, creating a light and bright atmosphere with a touch of island charm.  

Each double bedroom leads directly to the covered terrace, beyond which you can view trees and plants native to the Mediterranean landscape, framing an azure sea. Relax with drinks on the terrace while you take in this marvellous vista, or drive 10 minutes to the nearby town of Forio for a leisurely evening out. Aside from shops, a supermarket and elegant eateries, Forio also greets visitors with a well-preserved historic town centre, unforgettable sunsets over the ocean, beaches and much more. 

Around a 15-minute drive from the villa in Panza, you will find the Sorgeto Hot Springs. These volcanic thermal pools flow into the sea and make for a natural bathing experience that is purportedly health-giving and is rather remarkable for its seaside location. Also in Panza is Casa D’Ambra, one of Ischia’s most renowned vineyards, where you can arrange tours and wine tastings of their best offerings. 

A little over 10 minutes away by car is Citara, home of the spectacular Ravino Gardens. This botanical park is studded with huge cacti of every type imaginable, strutting peacocks and an abundance of spectacular tropical plants. 

As well as being home to impressive botanical sites such as Ravino, gourmands flock to Ischia for Michelin starred food served with rustic flair. Excellent seafood is of course on the menu in Ischia, but if you really want to eat like a local, then order the rabbit or even hot spring baked chicken! Local delights include sweet grapes fresh off the vine, beans, tomatoes, chestnuts, and vibrant, juicy citrus, all growing in the patchwork of village gardens across the island.

** Please note the property is actually located on the island of Ischia. Regular ferries depart from Porto d'Ischia and Porto di Casamicciola to Naples**
