Mezzatorre Hotel & Thermal Spa

Mezzatorre Hotel & Thermal Spa - A 5-star coastal retreat with a historic watchtower, thermal pools, and private bay

Overlooking the Gulf of Naples from a rocky promontory in Forio, Mezzatorre Hotel & Thermal Spa occupies a 16th-17th century Aragonese watchtower surrounded by seven hectares of Mediterranean parkland. Accommodations include Classic Rooms with park or partial sea views, Superior Rooms with sea-facing balconies, and Deluxe Suites in the historic tower featuring limestone bathrooms and terraces. The thermal spa offers three whirlpool tubs (including a 38°C thermal pool), Kneipp hydrotherapy circuits, and treatments using Santa Maria Novella and Biologique Recherche products. Guests dine at Ristorante La Torre for contemporary Mediterranean dishes like scialatielli pasta with four tomato varieties or at the palm-shaded Ristorante & Bar La Baia for seafood specialties. A clay tennis court, heated seawater pool, and private bay with direct sea access complete the leisure facilities. Forio's town center, Chiesa del Soccorso, and La Mortella botanical gardens are within 3 km, accessible via the hotel's shuttle to Lacco Ameno.
