Expert Tip. The Old Town of Ischia Ponte is 800 metres from the hotel and its lively narrow streets are strewn with workshops, small shops, restaurants and pubs. This is where the ‘bridge’ begins, the walkway that leads to the impressive rock on which the Aragonese Castle rises. The Sant’Anna Rocks are 200 metres away, and the Tower of Michelangelo, now a museum and events venue, is 300 metres away.
