When Marie-Louise Sciò, the hotelier behind Il Pellicano and La Posta Vecchia, opens a property, expect it to work. Mezzatorre on the island of Ischia is a former watchtower now filled with coral-tinted shades and parasols that Slim Aarons would have approved of. Thermal thermal waters, warm staff, and a mean Campari spritz. The real dolce vita.

8:37 AM
Fire up the holiday mode with a frothy cappuccino on the terrace. Order a buttery pastry (cornetto, to the Italians) with a side of pistachio spread for dipping.
9:44 AM
One thing the Pellicano Hotels do particularly well is claiming excellent swim spots. Climb down the rock-side ladder for a fresh swim post coffee.
11:06 AM
The team know all the best spots – from how to walk to the nearest bright blue beach towns (Lacco Ameno and Forio), the fertile La Mortella botanical gardens or the family-run restaurants that serve the best Ischia-style rabbit.
12:57 PM
Back to La Baia, the more casual spot to eat at the hotel, for the brightest Pomodoro pasta you’ll ever have. They’ve perfected the classic. It’s sea-facing too so when you’re ready, go hop in the sea.
3:48 PM
This is a thermal spa decked out with forest-green tiles. Opt for a soothing swim in the mineral-heavy water or a mud-based body wash, of sorts.
6:23 PM
Do as the Italians do and start early for a spritz and some particularly crunchy crisps. We hope you brought your film camera.
8:07 PM
For something a little more special, Ristorante La Torre dishes up a fine plate of fresh-caught seafood (lobster, snapper, rockfish and squid). Take your pick and wear something colourful.
