Perched above the Tyrrhenian Sea. Built upon a rocky cliff. Long ago. Two storeys high. Its façade limewashed, refined with elegant cornices. A stately structure crowned by a glass dome and beacon, giving the lighthouse its true purpose. Faro Punta Imperatore. A building steeped in history.
Built in 1879 as the largest lighthouse on the island of Ischia. Set at its westernmost point, where the sound of the waves becomes a soothing melody throughout the day, and the setting sun paints sea and sky in gentle shades of orange. Where colourful fishing boats bob on the water and white gulls glide through the air. Just ninety minutes by boat from Naples. Once the workplace of lighthouse keeper Lucia Capuano – today, a luxurious refuge of privileged solitude.
Four suites, bathed in the warm light of the South. All equal in size. All furnished with high-quality pieces in maritime elegance. A rooftop terrace with a bar. A garden with an infinity pool. A cosy fireside lounge. A restaurant with a generous terrace. A secluded hideaway for a private dinner among friends, prepared by a personal chef.
Faro Punta Imperatore – a place for meaningful time out with your loved ones. To escape the everyday, find stillness, and rediscover the present moment. A setting where time and space expand, conversations grow deeper, and memories are made. And perhaps the moment you fall irrevocably in love with Ischia.
