Swimming pools and beach
Lush tropical plants surround the blue thermal swimming pool in the
park. Our indoor pool is dug in the tuff rock of a grotto that used to
be a wine cellar. Small thermal waterfalls have replaced the old wine
casks. Through the spa our guests can have easy access to our greenhouse
that is naturally-heated by our indoor warm thermal water pool and
filled with different beautiful varieties of flowers and plants. The
private beach and pier are within short walking distance of the hotel
and offer you a breathtaking sweeping view of the Gulf of Naples.
History
In the summer of 1952 Sandro Petti, a young Ischia-born architect, met
Mr. Fuchs, the old ‘Commendatore’, on one of the island’s beautiful
beaches. The old man was so much in love with the island that he would
like to have a small shelter to get away from the hustle and bustle of
everyday life. The architect thought that the best way to enjoy the
island’s atmosphere would be, instead, to share it with a group of
selected friends. So what the old man needed was not a simple house but
a large villa, a sort of a small hotel. Hotel Il Moresco opened in 1953:
a tower overlooking the pine tree park amidst wonderful lush gardens
with varieties of plants and flowers, and also outdoor and indoor pools.
Rooms
All rooms are tastefully furbished to create that home-away-from-home
feeling that makes the most relaxing atmosphere for our guests. All
rooms have a balcony or terrace and enjoy yard, garden or partial/full
sea views. They are all beautifully appointed with original Vietri
majolica tile floors, white-painted walls and pastel-shaded tapestry:
everything adds to a typical bright Mediterranean refined atmosphere.
Restaurant
Our "La Pergola" restaurant serves traditional Mediterranean dishes
under the shady pool-side pergola or in the dining room with
bougainvilleas and hanging plants.
Our chef Giovanni Perna’s preferred style is a superb blend of
classical, simple local cuisine prepared with fresh and high-quality
ingredients and contemporary influences. He takes care of our guests and
of their wellbeing by using only the best of the best ingredients -
extra-virgin olive oils, fish, meat, fresh vegetables and fruits – and
quick cooking time to preserve taste and texture.
