Visconti, film director and master of the lavish, was so intoxicated by our Ischian bay he settled here, his home La Colombaia is at the top of our park. Choose your own space in this mysterious, seductive isle. Guestrooms in our park cottages are infused with pure pine air, shaded paths hint at glamorous footfall on their way between sea and the Maestro’s house. Those in the tower have giddy views over Mezzatorre’s sparkling private cove. Interiors are light and delicious, finished with flair by Italy’s tastemaker and Pellicano’s own creative director Marie-Louise Sciò.
