Experiences and activities

Villa La Luna di Carta
is not the ideal place for hectic holidays: on the contrary, it turns out as a perfect frame for stays in deep contact with nature, thanks to its wide, captivating garden, where dragon trees, cycads, lemon trees, aloe, orange trees, ivy, bougainvillea, pine trees, ficus, cacti and many other plants are located. Nevertheless, the discovery path does not end in the green world: starting from the entrance avenue and along the territory around the villa, you will stumble upon stone sculptures, thus adding a precious touch of art to the enchanting triumph of vegetation.

In the heart of the garden, a welcoming gazebo for relaxation moments, to listen to birdsong, to admire butterflies landing on colourful flowers, to surf the web and, first of all, to read. Yes, because
Villa La Luna di Carta
puts a collection of multilingual books at guests’ disposal on the upper floor, which offer unexpected insights into well-being. It happened to everybody to get a glimpse into a stack or a shelf of books and be enraptured by a title, maybe unknown, by an author, maybe unknown, or by a cover, maybe in one’s favourite colour. It is simply about serendipity, i.e. discovering something you were not looking for, which inspires and excites you.

It is a small service, though very appreciated by our guests, who sometimes like to give us some books while asking to take the one that, during their stay at
Villa La Luna di Carta
captured them. A book exchange, which means emotions, fascination, and thoughts to be enjoyed in the moonlight too, when the starry sky inspires imagination. Thanks to its convenient location on Ischia in southern Italy, where light pollution is very low, the sky show is surprising. The moon plays the starring role with its reflected light, thus illuminating the night along with the stars above us.

A full immersion in nature, strengthened by the tranquillity of the area:
Villa La Luna di Carta
is located in the centre of Ischia, but its secret is the little road where it lies, which also ensures peace of mind at night. Just get out and, a few steps away, you will find all you can look for: restaurants, shops, museums, beaches, wine bars, entertainment, historical and architectural beauties, and public parks.

The America’s Cup in Naples will represent in 2027 a worldwide event. The most important and ancient sailing trophy with its 175-year story will take place in the beautiful waters of the Parthenopean Gulf. Seeing it live will be an unforgettable experience, but also taking a look at its workouts and logistical preparations will turn out to be a special opportunity to get in touch with the sea and sport.

suggests a boat rental, also available with a skipper, for a tour through the stretch of water in the Gulf of Naples, to enjoy the deep, vibrant relationship with the sea, perceive the preparations for the upcoming competition, and be surprised by the magical beauty of that scenario. The way back to Ischia in the evening, with the sunset painting the starry sky and feeling harmony and peace at the Villa, will seal a memorable day.

Many others will come to discover the most secret spots of Ischia and its multifaceted territory. There is a wide range of ecological walks with different levels of difficulty, from the simplest to the most challenging ones, always targeted at environmental protection. In fact, the Ischian territory stretches from the sea to the mountains, passing through the hills, climbing up to the Epomeo, the highest peak with its almost 800 metres, where the view dominates the whole Gulf. Numerous farmhouses, wine cellars and restaurants are located in its surroundings, where fine wine and vegetables of own production, and typical local specialities can be tasted.

We were talking about the sea; however, to enjoy it does not only mean a day at the beach, but also snorkelling, diving, or a boat tour with lunch on board. Different approaches, but all successful, to live a deep contact with the place and its millennial culture.

For all these experiences, as well as for a tour around the island of Ischia, a day in a wonderful thermal park, a romantic dinner in an exclusive restaurant or a true Neapolitan pizza, a visit in one of the numerous museums, a transfer, a tour to one of the Gulf islands or the impressive destinations of the Amalfi Coast, a day in a beach club, a yoga or gym session, in short, everything which makes a stay pleasant and unique,

will be always at your side with precious suggestions and steadily support.
