What they say
One Michelin Key
Michelin
Among them is Botania Relais & Spa, a tranquil escape tucked away, in classic Ischian style, within a lush two-acre garden estate.
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
Set between Forio and Lacco Ameno, the estate runs electric shuttles down to coastal villages, thermal parks, and sandy beaches.
The rooms
Scattered across standalone Mediterranean villas, each room has an individual layout opening onto private terraces framed by botanical greenery.
Spa, pools and gym
Bring a swimsuit.
Shaded forest platforms host botanical massages, and terraced lawns hold an unpowered outdoor gym alongside panoramic spring-water pools.
The thermal baths
Indoor spring-water pools are heated to 32C and 35C beside a natural steam bath set inside a volcanic grotto.
Dogs stay too.
At the table
Il Mirto serves plant-based dishes harvested from the gardens, and Bar La Grotta pours botanical cocktails inside a volcanic cave.
