L'Albergo della Regina Isabella Details

Location

Feel truly at home at Health Spa and Resort Regina Isabella on the sea shore of the island of Ischia in the Gulf of Naples. Situated in the centre of a peaceful bay, and surrounded by rocks and fragrant Mediterranean pine woods, the main entrance looks over the picturesque square of Santa Restituta, the archaeological museum and local antique and clothing stalls. The resort was originally developed by Angelo Rizzoli, publisher and film producer, so enchanted by the setting and tradition of the natural springs, that he built the present day spa and hotel on the site of the ancient Greco-Roman ruins. The spa soon became the first choice of the jet set, and one of the most glamorous and sought after destinations and continues to attract the world of show business, commerce and politics. Regina Isabella offers a superb tradition of hospitality, a friendly focus, and outstanding amenities, ideal for those in search of total relaxation and wellbeing.

Insider Tips

• Lemons are harvested mid-October to the end of November filling the air with the refreshing aroma of citrus, and providing the resources for delicious Limoncellos for you to enjoy!

Wellness Approach

• The volcanic island of Ischia is abundant with thermal waters - contact with volcanic rocks gives energy to the water and as it passes through the earth it gathers the minerals, vitamins, sea salts and trace elements.  This hot thermal water (enters the spa at 80oC) and the thermal mud (gathered in natural caves of Ischia and left to macerate for 6 months in thermal waters) are the key regenerative and therapuetic ingredients of this spa.  Under the guidance of the Spa Doctor treatments are prescribed with a strong medical and therapuetic feel, however they also specialise in Dermatology and have a wide range of holistic and beuaty treatments for those looking for relaxation.

Freestyle Spa

• An indoor thermal pool (30% thermal water) at the spa is available for guests to soak in at leisure.  Don't be surprised if you feel soporific after a session in the pool, it is more powerful than you think.
