Nestled in a 1-acre private park, Grotta Leone is an exceptional villa designed in 1964 by German architect Fritz Zollinger. Built in local whitewashed tuff stone, it blends seamlessly into the landscape, offering breathtaking views of Forio and the sea. Featured on the cover of the Ischia Modern Architecture book, the villa boasts a unique mix of aristocratic elegance and natural charm. The property includes private sea access via a stone path, five panoramic terraces, and multi-level gardens inspired by Italian Baroque traditions. A large swimming pool lies beneath the north terrace, surrounded by olive and topiary trees. Mostly single-story with vaulted Saracen-Byzantine interiors, the villa includes a panoramic master suite upstairs. Redesigned in 2024 for a French family with 20th-century art and furniture, it combines modernist style with the spirit of Ischia. It comfortably hosts 10 guests in 5 ensuite bedrooms (2 with sea views), each with A/C and a private terrace. Two large sea-view lounges, a fully equipped kitchen, and parking for 5 cars complete this luxurious retreat. All amenities are less than 12 months old.
