The tower rose like a secret, carved from ochre stone and laced with history, waiting quietly as we rounded the bend of the island. Whether you arrive by ferry or make a day of it by private boat, there’s a cinematic thrill to watching Mezzatorre reveal itself—perched on a promontory, cradled by pines, kissed by sea spray. Stepping onto land, the hush of Ischia’s charm wrapped around us. Wind in our hair, Negronis in hand, and the piano playing something familiar… we’d found our Mediterranean reverie.
Why We Chose This Place
Part of the iconic Pellicano Hotels family, Mezzatorre is a love letter to la dolce vita—Italian elegance without the ego. Located on the lush, lesser-known island of Ischia, it offers a refined escape infused with personality, color, and coastal magic. If you’re looking for something quietly cinematic and effortlessly stylish, this is where you’ll want to anchor.
The Morari Memo Highlights
Linger Here
Rooms here feel like private hideaways—layered in soft tones and sun-drenched textures, with joyful punches of color (especially in those delightfully tiled bathrooms). From sea-facing suites to tucked-away tower rooms, each space invites you to slow down. Step onto your terrace, breathe in the salted air, and watch the horizon flirt with the sky.
Savor This
Dining at Mezzatorre is a sensory seduction. The fabric-draped main restaurant feels more like a private salon than a dining room—rich with color, candlelight, and slow meals that turn into memories. Expect local seafood, handmade pasta, and wines that taste of volcanic soil. You’ll never rush here, especially not with dessert or “digestivo” in reach.
Feel That
Ischia is famed for its healing thermal waters, and Mezzatorre’s spa is a must—housed in a shaded grove and built around a wellness philosophy that stirs your senses before and after treatment. From hydrotherapy rituals to volcanic mud wraps, you’ll feel reawakened in the most luxurious way. Then, wander to the pool or beach club—both kissed by sunlight and framed by dramatic coastline. Finally, don’t miss a golden hour cocktail under the white umbrellas on the terrace, where a piano tinkles out Italian classics and the breeze feels orchestrated.
The Morari Detail
It’s the sound of Mezzatorre that stays with you. The distant notes of live piano at sunset. The clink of glass on marble. The gentle swoosh of linen curtains caught in the breeze. Every element, from design to acoustics, is curated not just to impress, but to relax your very soul.
A Moment to Take With You
Mezzatorre doesn’t shout. It beckons. It whispers. It wraps you in a mood—a feeling that you’ve stepped not just away, but into something. A dream of Italian summer, unhurried and untouched. And when you go, you’ll carry its melody with you, soft and lingering.
