Tenuta Pera di Basso

It is no exaggeration to say that at the Tenuta Pera di Basso, you are quite literally surrounded by nature. The hotel is inseparable from its island location, stunning you with the beautiful views of Ischia from every window and balcony. Sitting on the slopes of Monte Epomeo, inside a park, the Pera di Basso overlooks the Mediterranean waters at the bay of Casamicciola, the shining blue ocean that peeks through the lush palm, chestnut, and olive trees that grow around the hotel.

The views don’t stop at the hotel door; instead, each room is bathed in the natural beauty of the area, offering sea views and a panoramic look at the rolling Ischian hills. The décor of the rooms themselves takes inspiration from the landscape, bringing natural materials like terracotta, stone, and wood into the individually decorated rooms. You’d need a tent to get any closer to the local flora and fauna.

Even in the hotel pool, you’ll be able to enjoy views of the sea as you lay in the water. The hammocks and loungers allow you to soak up the sun whilst relaxing in a haven of peace and serenity.

The strongest connection with the island, though, is found at the hotel restaurant. Not just in the rustic wooden décor, or the local stone walls and fireplace, but in the cuisine served. Organic, local produce can be found in many hotels and restaurants around the world, but Pera di Basso elevates this to the next level; their authentic, traditional Italian dishes are made with fresh produce cooked right here, at Pera di Basso’s own farm and pastures.

Tenuta Pera di Basso has the good fortune to be situated on a beautiful island, but it’s the simplicity and ease with which the hotel invites the tranquil and beautiful surroundings inside that will stay with you, as an oasis of harmony in harried daily life.
