From the frame of Cartaromana, the gaze opens onto an island of striking character: villages that tell stories, rocks that shape the sea, thermal waters that for centuries have nurtured well-being.
The Strand Hotel Delfini Terme is the starting point for a tale made of strolls through Ischia Ponte, sunsets over the Aragonese Castle, pauses among vineyards and paths.
Between underwater archaeology, seafood kitchens, and soothing baths, Discover Ischia is an invitation to live the island in every season—whether you travel as a couple, with friends, or with family.
Ischia is a mosaic of villages, trails, and beaches. In Ischia Ponte, you wander through historic lanes; in Ischia Porto, the Riva Destra hums with life; Forio offers magnificent sunsets, Lacco Ameno guards the “Fungo” rock and ancient finds from Pithecusae, while Sant’Angelo is a pedestrian haven facing the sea. Inland, terraced vineyards and trails lead toward Mount Epomeo. The island is a delight all year round: lively in summer, radiant in spring and autumn, and in winter—perfect for walking and savoring its unhurried rhythm.
Cartaromana is a sheltered basin within the Marine Protected Area of Sant’Anna: clear waters, seabeds of archaeological interest (Aenaria), rocks that draw a natural amphitheater. From the rocks of Sant’Anna, the view stretches toward the Aragonese Castle—mornings are bright, sunsets cinematic. It’s a “living” bay: easily reached by taxi boat, ideal for couples and families, and pleasant even off-season thanks to its mild microclimate and sheltered sea.
The symbol of the island, the Aragonese Castle rises on a small islet connected to the mainland by a bridge. Ramparts, churches, gardens, and terraces open wide views over the Gulf of Naples.
From the Strand, it’s just a ten-minute journey; the best time to visit is late afternoon, when the light caresses the walls and the rocks. The visit is an encounter with centuries of Mediterranean history—between defensive architecture and silent cloisters—and pairs beautifully with an evening stroll through the village of Ischia Ponte.
Ischia is a land of warm waters: springs rich in mineral salts, thermal parks immersed in greenery, natural pools, and steam baths carved in tuff.
Here, thermal culture is a living art, devoted to daily well-being—it soothes, improves mobility, nurtures the skin, and supports breathing. In summer, it offers restorative pauses between beaches; in the mid-seasons and in winter, it takes center stage, when the island grows quiet and the mild air invites you to take time for self-care.
