Manzi Hotel and Spa reopens

Manzi Hotel and Spa sits on Italy’s volcanic island of Ischia, directly above the Gurgitiello thermal spring that feeds its renowned spa facilities. This unique positioning allows guests to experience therapeutic treatments powered by the same mineral-rich waters that have drawn visitors since Roman times.

Founded in 1863 when Luigi Manzi recognized the spring’s potential, the property pioneered the concept of combining luxury accommodations with serious wellness treatments. The tradition continues today with 56 guest rooms and suites, two restaurants and comprehensive spa facilities that utilise the natural thermal waters. Ischia itself ranks among Europe’s premier thermal destinations, boasting over 29 distinct spring groups across the island. These geothermal features have established the island’s reputation as a place to address both physical ailments and overall well-being, much as the ancient Romans did centuries ago.

The hotel represents the evolution of thermal tourism – from medicinal necessity to modern luxury wellness, all while maintaining its connection to the natural healing properties that originally put this location on the map.
