Overview
Framed by green mountains to one side and a glistening blue sea to the other, Villa Raul is an elegant holiday home idyllically nestled on Ischia’s west coast. The small island off the coast of Italy offers the ultimate haven for nature lovers looking for a Mediterranean retreat away from the crowds.
It’s easy to fall in love with the house’s interior – it has a large open-plan lounge area and modern kitchen complete with a bar island, perfect for savouring special moments in the evenings or enjoying a wholesome breakfast together. You’ll find top-notch appliances and enough space here to whip up a hearty meal, and direct access to the garden via sliding glass doors means you can take your meal outdoors too. The elegantly furnished master bedroom has a large king-size bed and cold, handmade tiles underfoot, designed to cool you down on those hot summer nights. The suite is decorated with stunning pieces from a selection of some of the best Italian brands as well as bespoke furniture made by local craftsmen.
Overlooking the sea, the outdoor lawn invites guests to take in the sunshine – spread out a blanket on the neatly manicured lawn or relax in one of the sun loungers while watching the sun slip behind the horizon.
When it’s time to explore, you’ll be pleased to find out that you’re in the heart of a local village, Forio, with a sandy beach Spiaggia della Chiaia just a short walk away, as well as local amenities such as shops and restaurants.
Forio is a vibrant and picturesque town known for its stunning landscapes, rich history, and lively atmosphere. As the island's main touristic center, Forio offers a blend of natural beauty and cultural attractions. Visitors can explore the lush Giardini La Mortella, a botanical garden created by composer Sir William Walton and his wife Susana. The historic Chiesa del Soccorso, a whitewashed church perched on a cliff, provides breathtaking views of the Tyrrhenian Sea. Forio's thermal springs and spas, such as Poseidon Thermal Gardens, attract those seeking relaxation and wellness.
Nature lovers will love exploring walking and hiking trails offering sweeping coastal views, such as the most beautiful Campagnano, with a splendid view of the Gulf of Naples to the abandoned village of Piano Liguori.
Those who prefer to relax in the hammock will love tasting local grape varieties in one of the wineries located on the rich volcanic slopes or taking a dip in the island’s famous mineral-rich thermal waters and hot springs.

Can't wait to return!
I had an amazing stay in Ischia! The location was perfect for both work and leisure. I stayed in the sea-view villa with Mount Epomeo in sight – waking up to sunrise over the sea and watching sunsets was incredible. The villa was beautifully decorated and spacious, and I loved the glass door that opened to a private yard. The kitchen had all amenities I needed, and the local market was a short walk away. Picking fresh tomatoes, basil, and grapes from the garden added a delightful touch. The staff was responsive and friendly, making our stay even better. Being a family of four, the villa provided ample space. The beach was nearby, offering relaxation and fun. Exceeded my expectations in every way. The combination of breathtaking views, comfortable villa, and attentive staff made it a memorable experience. Can't wait to return!
