Venue: Il Giardino Del Nonno, Sant´Angelo d´ Ischia / Italy

Location/Accessibility:

The idyllic fishing village of Sant’ Angelo in the south of Ischia forms the dreamlike backdrop for ‘In Sun, Wind & Waves’. In the middle of the picturesque village lies the piazetta, which invites you to chill out and flirt with its bars, cafes and restaurants at any time of the day or night. The gurgling of the water under the small boats on one side of the harbour fortifications and the sandy beach with the sound of the sea on the other let us immerse ourselves naturally in thoughtlessness and timelessness. Within sight of the square, a shimmering green rock rises imposingly out of the turquoise sea and unmistakably shapes the face of Sant’ Angelo.

Above the picturesque center rise pastel-colored houses built into the hillside. Leaving them behind, we find our somewhat hidden paradise ‘Il Giardiono del Nonno’ [The Grandfather’s Garden], a luxurious family-owned agritourism 3 *** hotel. It is characterized not only by its quiet location and its spacious area, but also by its wonderful garden, over which the scent of citrus fruits floats. For pure wellness everything is well provided: The indoor pool and sauna in the extensive caves of the grounds, the swimming pool with waterfall and massage jets, and the infinity pool with panoramic views of the neighboring island of Capri are filled soley with thermal water.

In the midst of the oasis of peace and tranquility, the bright seminar room as well as the spacious rooftop terrace with its wide view invites us for tantric group activities.
We can look forward to simply furnished standard double rooms without or with sea view, equipped throughout with air conditioning, shower and toilet. The superior rooms have either a pretty terrace or a small balcony – the fabulous sea view is included.

Accommodation/meals:

Accommodation/half board costs per day/person EUR 90 in standard double room, EUR 100 in standard double room with sea view or EUR 110 in superior room with balcony/terrace and sea view. The extra charge for using a double as a single room is EUR 25 per day.

The Di Iorio family personally takes care of the catering: They masterfully conjure up dishes that are typical of Ischia’s cuisine and like to use organically grown ingredients from their own garden.

The booking of room and transfer is done AFTER the complete seminar registration and payment and AFTER receiving our confirmation of seminar registration directly at the Hotel Il Giardino del Nonno (a contingent is pre-reserved for us).

Composition of the group:

Your short answers to seven questions will help Armin to get to know you in advance and to put together your seven-day-group in the best possible way. Please download the questionnaire, answer honestly and send it before/shortly after your registration. Armin will treat the questionnaire confidentially and answer you personally.

Arrival:

You will arrive individually by plane, train, bus or car. Your first destination is Naples.

Flight:

You can find numerous cheap airlines that fly directly to Naples on the airport website.
From the airport, a taxi will be organised to take you to the ferry and then directly to the gates of Sant’Angelo (single ticket for 2 people or more: EUR 45). From there, the hotel will pick you up with its electronic shuttle and take you through the pedestrian zone to our accommodation.

Train:

We recommend the night train from Munich in a sleeping car (2 to 3 persons) or couchette car (4 to 6 persons) all the way to Rome. Here, too, you can get cheap tickets if you book early (3 months in advance). Change trains in Rome and continue to Napoli Centrale (about 2 hours by train). There too, take an organised taxi directly from the train station and continue by ferry to the island and to the gates of Sant’Angelo, where the hotel will pick you up with its electronic shuttle.

Individual:

You can also organise the transfer from the airport/railway station to the hotel yourself, “Italian adventure” not excluded:

From the airport/railway station, take the Alibus to the Beverello (port): Cost: EUR 5. You take a ferry to Ischia, no matter which destination there (optimal: Forio): Cost: EUR 20 (speedboat EUR 29). Once on Ischia, take a bus on the CS line (circular line) and get off at Sant’Angelo station: Cost: EUR 2.90. From there, the hotel will pick you up with its electronic shuttle and take you through the pedestrian zone to our accommodation.
A warm welcome !
