Between old and Modern
Built as thermal resort in 1863 by the Manzi brothers, entrepreneurs from Ischia (among other things inventors of the Sambuca liqueur), related to the extraordinary properties of the Gurgitiello spring, in 1960 the Terme Manzi Hotel is acquired by publisher Angelo Rizzoli, who contributes to make known Ischia to the international jet set.
In the 2000s the hotel is bought, restored and turned into five star hotel by the Polito family, professionals in the hospitality industry, who were able to renovate it with passion combining the glories of the past and comforts of modernity.
Its restyling, by the architect Cesare Longo, pays a homage to the history of Ischia, proposing again the styles of the different populations who colonized the island, from the Greeks to the Romans, from the Turks to the Spanish.
