It is one of the most beautiful and important gardens in Europe. Created by the British composer Sir William Turner Walton, it was designed on two levels by Russell Page. It has plants from all over the world. A peaceful bar-restaurant inside makes you feel like in the ''jungle''. Plus, on thrusdays they often host open air classical concerts with a stunning panoramic view. In the past it was visited by King Charles more than once thanks to Walton's friendship with his grandpa George VI. it's couple of minutes walking from the villa.

This beach club is very exclusive and require a booking. Restaurant is panoramic and based on seafood. Beds are in a limited number of around 50 and the thermal natural-like pools right on the rocks by the sea offer a peacefull experience. It's a ventilated area compared to the rest of the island and it is a pleasure to read a book while having sun or staying in the pool. Children under 14 are not allowed. Better to go in a number not exceeding 4 people.

Literally an experience in the sky. The place can be reached after walking for 20 minutes or riding a donkey. The view is breathetaking, 360 degrees all over the island at the top of Mount Epomeo. it's also possible to see all Pontine Islands, Capri, Sorrento and Napoli. it can also happen that the lack of the view is because of clouds under the level where you are. Still amazing feeling. The restaurant is a family managed one with products coming directly from their garden. My suggestion is to go before sunset, take a bruschetta and some wine or beer and just enjoy the fresh air and the perfect view

Sorgeto Bay is not privately managed. Free thermal area with hot hot springs 365 days a year, 24 hours a day. it's wonderful to have an aperitivo in the water with a spritz made by the close bar restaurant down there and floating around you in an inflatable holder. So my suggestion is to go there from 6pm till dinner that u can have there or to go very late night, possibly before sunrise. Very common to see people rubbing two rocks that can be easily found around and create a mud for face. Wait for it to get dry and after 10 minutes just wash your skin after 10 minutes. Regenerating.

The center of Forio worths a visit, it's beautiful and cozy. And you can reach Soccorso Church (15-16th century), maybe at sunset time with an infitiny view into the sea while having a gelato. Bar Maria, also known as Bar Internazionale is an hystorical bar where very famous artist, movie directors and writers used to meet. and we are talking of people like Sofia Loren, Charlie Chaplin, Richard Burton, Liz Taylor, Jackie Kennedy, Aristotele Onassis, Ava Gardner, Moravia, Pasolini, Morante, Elizabeth Taylor, Zachary Scott, i Principi d’Assia, Pagliacci, Pablo Neruda e Wemer Gilles. Then you could move to Ciccio or La Bella Napoli, on the nice seaside where bars are full of young people talking and having fun. Ciccio is famous for an excellent pizza, also gourmet ones. La Bella Napoli is excellent and not expensive, one of the best seafood restaurant for Quality/Price ratio. Their tuna tartares and seafood pasta are an orgasm for your palate. Both need a reservation

Very famous are Ristorante il Pirata and Il Pescatore.

It doesn't need any intro. Just go and visit the ancient court where people were living before moving on the main island.

This is such a different thermal place. It's on the mountain, the water is cold and it is famous since Romans for its regenerative properties for physical wounds, probably for a very low not at all dangerous percentage of radeon. Few visits and your skin will really be better. And you can feel it like silk immediately after the first shower. there is also a public fountain to get this water for free. If you do, try to use glass bottles and not plastic.

Offerta gastronomica

In top100 world's hotel list, one of the most beutiful places on the island. It is an old unfinished tower (that's why the name Mezzatorre that means half a tower). Became an hotel few years ago and now it is managed by Sciò family, guarantee when it comes to luxury hospitality experiences. The two restaurants inside, one formal and one casual, offer both delicious food, among the best on the island.

Thermal Park

Negombo is my favorite thermal park. very different from Poseidon, but still based on different pools experiences. More modern than the first one, it has also a couple grotto pools, and infinity pool on three levels and waterfalls massages distributed from the beach to the hill. Food of restaurant is excellent.
