Several towns are located along the island’s coast. The largest city in Ischia is actually (and often confusingly, for tourists) called Ischia. The town of Ischia, however, has two different centers: Ischia Porto and Ischia Ponte. Ischia Porto is the commercial center of the island and is named after the main port. Ischia Ponte (“Ponte” meaning “bridge” in Italian) is named for the area surrounding and including the footbridge that was constructed to connect the Castello Aragonese with the island. Beside the town of Ischia, some of the other centres are Lacco Ameno, Casamicciola, Forio, Barano, Sant’Angelo, and the jointed town of Serrara-Fontana. For spa seekers, head over towards Forio and the thermal parks where you can spend the day trying out the different pools and hot tubs in a garden setting. The villa lies about 20 minutes by car from the port of Ischia, and from there Naples can be reached in about an hour by ferry with your car on board and in about 40 minutes by hydrofoil. Villa La Scogliera nests in the cliffs on the promontory called “Punta Caruso” in a unique position among copses of Mediterranean scrub, large panoramic terraces and rocks that have been carefully worked to allow easy access to the crystal-clear sea. The villa has been enclosed on all sides and access to the property is via an automatic gate that leads into the parking area, and from there you go down a short flight of steps to reach the property which looks entirely towards the sea. Villa La Scogliera is a splendid two-story villa located on a hillside, facing the sea. The property is tended by two caretakers, who reside in an annex on the premises. Villa La Scogliera is 600 sq. m., 2 different and charming separate Annexes.

The large kitchen is equipped with all the usual conveniences: with a ten-burner gas cooker, electric oven, a refrigerator with freezer, a dishwasher, a microwave oven and an Italian and American-style coffee-maker.
