About this villa rental

Villa Punta Caruso - Home
A unique retreat on the west coast of the island of Ischia.
Escape from the hustle and bustle of city life, and immerse yourself in the simplicity and serenity of the nature surrounding Villa Giò. Discover the true beauty that this place has to offer, and find the peace you've been searching for.
Villa Giò is the perfect retreat for nature lovers, who seek the tranquility of whispering trees, the melody of chirping birds, and the calming sound of the sea.

From the villa, paths spread out through the wood to lead to extraordinary rock formations and fabulous corners of paradise, from where you can admire the sunset and a breathtaking view of the beaches of San Francesco and Forio.

This property is beautiful, clean, and very quiet. Perfect if you want to get away from the hustle and bustle. Anything that you might need is a short taxi ride away. The private beach is perfect with crystal clear waters. It is really a beautul getaway and we plan on renting it again!

We are a family of adults/teens. We had a lovely restful stay. We enjoyed the outdoor areas and the pool area. It’s very private. The sunsets were lovely. The house is comfortable and well equipped. We enjoyed the addition of a cat family. You’ll need some form of transport as its quiet location means you’ll need it. There is a walk from the car park area to the house downhill, not for high heels! The owners were very helpful to us with anything we needed and went above and beyond when I lost my sunglasses! We appreciated and enjoyed the pantry items left. We recommend this place, it’s very peaceful. We would have liked longer, but alas had to leave. The island of Ishcia is great, we enjoyed a boat trip and the local Mortella gardens.

We had a fabulous time at Gio’s amazing house. So beautiful and quiet with only a short walk down to the rocks at the bottom of the garden allowing you to jump straight into the sea, but the villa also came with a salt water pool and jacuzzi. Gio filled the fridge with wine and Prosecco and a bowl of home grown vegetables and fruit. The zucchini and tomatoes kept coming through the week. When necessary he fixed or replaced anything we needed. If you want to relax immediately then this is the place. The cat family were great but so scared of us even though we fed them. The kittens were so cute. We would love to return. Gio is definitely the host with the most. Thank you so much from us all. We loved it xxx

Best of the best for privacy, relaxation and beauty of surroundings. Beautifully remodeled old ruin, famous on the island. Moreover, the owner Giovanni is a wonderful man. We consider him a friend now. Thx Gio ! We will be back, as our governor of California used to say. Top !!!

The photos on the website are wonderful but nothing can prepare you for the reality. The location of Villa Gio is perfect, totally private, not overlooked, set in beautiful landscaped grounds looking out over the sea. The house is tastefully decorated with everything you could possibly need. We had warm days and stormy days but there is always a spot in the house to feel cosy and look out over the incredible views. At sunset it is unforgettable. Outside there are so many perfect areas to sit and relax. The jacuzzi was great - freshly filled and the perfect temperature. Giovanni was a superb host and dealt with any questions or issues promptly and efficiently. He welcomed us with Prosecco and a well stocked fridge and larder. We had robes and slippers waiting on our beds. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Villa Gio in Ischia, and would love to return.

We fell head over heels in love with our Ischia villa. Known all over the island as Villa Gio, it is beautifully situated, with stunning views of craggy rocks, breathtaking foliage, and miles and miles of glittering, sparkling sea. Gio has decorated it with impeccable taste, and every room is spacious, comfortable, and elegant. The air conditioners in the bedrooms work beautifully, the showers are great, the beds are all very nice. And Gio is the kindest of hosts: We got lost at first finding the place, and he came right out and rescued us on his motorcycle, leading us to the villa and making us at home with a glass of Prosecco. He filled the house with food, wine and beer so that we didn't have to go shopping that first night. He gave us great tips on restaurants, boat trips, the best thermal baths, and a charming and knowledgeable hiking guide (his niece!) who took us up Mount Epomeo. Though we found the drive into the villa a little daunting at first (if we had it to do over, we'd have rented a smaller car), we got used to it rapidly, and we couldn't have asked for a more lovely spot for exploring gorgeous Ischia. We went off and explored the island every day but we loved coming home to the villa, cooling off in the jacuzzi, watching the exquisite sunsets, grilling food, and taking pictures of the delightful family of cats that would always wander by and visit us. It was a heavenly vacation and we can't thank Gio enough for being the most perfect of hosts. We hope to return!
