A Hillside Italian Escape with Unrivaled Mediterranean Views
Live la dolce vita when you check into Excelsior Belvedere Hotel & SPA on Italy's Ischia Island, just a short ferry ride off the coast from Naples. Set in a former 19th-century villa originally designed and built for Lord James Nimmo, the hotel was transformed into a luxury resort in the 1950s by Count Micangeli and has been one of the island's hottest spots ever since. Perched on a lush hillside overlooking the Gulf of Naples, with views to the distant Aragonese island castle, Excelsior Belvedere Hotel & SPA gives you the chance to live life like an Italian aristocrat.

A 2020 TripAdvisor Travelers' Choice Award recipient and consecutive winner for the last four years, Excelsior Belvedere Hotel & SPA's modern, award-winning property and amenities go hand-in-hand with its storied past, where Italian film stars, famed musicians, and other European and American celebrities came to rest, relax, mingle, and party on one of the most beautiful shorelines on the Italian Mediterranean.

Location
Nestled on a hillside surrounded by a lush seaside park, Excelsior Belvedere Hotel & SPA is just a short distance from the main town of Ischia and its restaurants, shops, piazzas, and cultural sights that overlook the Gulf of Ischia where, if you're lucky, you'll spot seven species of whales and dolphins, including gigantic fin and sperm whales
Because the hotel is located on an Island, travel is less than straightforward, but still relatively easy. The concierge can arrange transfers directly from Naples International Airport, and more distant areas such as the Amalfi Coast or the Sorrento peninsula (including ferry rides).
