With an ideal location in the historic center of Ischia, Ischia Ponte, Villalieta is perfect for those seeking relaxation and thermal spas, a cultural tourism experience and for diners fancying local Mediterranean cuisine and an array of fresh seafood. Ischia Ponte boasts a vast selection of restaurants, cafes, boutiques, galleries and shops including antiques and local artisans. Villalieta is just walking-distance from the famous Giardini Eden thermal spas and the beautiful Cartaromana beach, where motor boats (with or without skipper) can be rented for a day around the island.
Ischia Ponte, once known as the Borgo of Celsa, was the first populated center on the island and the setting for the Neapolitan Revolution in 1799. A stroll around the area expounds antique buildings, churches and basilicas dating back even to the 1300's, small winding streets, balconies, small squares and gardens- all on the sea front just steps away from the magnificent Aragonese Castle. The celebration of the patron saint S. Giovan Giuseppe is held in the borgo the first week of September, offering an enjoyable festival of folklore and tradition.
