Built many years ago as a villa, the hotel came into existence in the 1950’s. The Villarosa is an hotel de charme offering an understated but sophisticated atmosphere, with its antique furnishings and prints, all fine pieces of Sicilian and Neapolitan craftsmanship, which give the guests’ rooms their special flavour and provide a feeling of cordial welcome in the common rooms.With a completely renovated spa facility and a comfortable thermal swimming pool in the heart of its lush and ample garden, the Villarosa is an oasis of friendly tranquillity in the centre of Porto d’Ischia, only 200 metres from the sea.Eucaliptus, bougainvillea, banana plants, olives, pine trees, fig trees and palms are only a part of the variety of vegetation which forms the luxurious and shady covering of the hotel. A small botanical garden with a somewhat tropical air, the product of forty years of careful nurturing and very selective grafts, covers the house to the north and west, crowned by a centuries-old Mediterranean pine which rises more than 20 metres over the swimming pool.The Villarosa has 31 double rooms and six single rooms, all offering maximum comfort. Those located on the three floors of the main house look out onto the garden and towards the sea. Brass, wood, wrought iron, authentic antique furniture, prints and paintings are the characteristics of these rooms, each with an individual decòr.Separate from the main house and immersed in the rich foliage of the garden are the chalets, each completely independent. Comprising two or more units, on request they can become prestigious suites.On the top floor of the hotel are the two ample dining rooms, which afford panoramic views of the bay, the Aragonese castle and Sant’Alessandro hill.The dining rooms open onto the roof garden, a splendid terrace facing the sea and overlooking the roofs of Porto d’Ischia and the old Bourbon port, and with the thick pinewood of the “Montagnone” rising behind.
