TUTTO PASSA

Tutto passa, or “everything passes.” Life is always moving: difficult moments recede, joyous ones slip away, and all we are guaranteed is the moment we’re in.

We feel incredibly lucky to spend the last days of summer celebrating with you in Ischia. The weekend, too, will pass, but we intend to enjoy every minute.

Finché dura!

Ischia

We’ve seen (probably more than) our fair share of Italy, but Ischia keeps drawing us back. We love the slow pace, the ridiculously good food, and the locals who become friends—or even unwitting wedding planners!—over a spritz. We can’t wait to share it with you.

To help you eat, swim and soak your way through the island properly, we’ve put together a list of our favorite spots: restaurants, wineries, thermal parks, hikes, beaches and shopping. The full list is here. Questions? Ask away. We’ll happily over-answer.

A Note on Attire

Dressy, casual or anywhere in between—think cocktail dresses, sundresses, linen shirts and trousers, polos and sandals for drinks and dinner by the pool.

DAY 2 ·
THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 10

A DAY ON THE WATER
Boat Day

Swimsuits and cover-ups for the boat; bring a change of clothes for lunch in Sant’Angelo if you’d like. Don’t forget a towel, sunscreen and anything else you’ll need for a day in the sun.

TUTTO O NIENTE
Black Tie Optional

The tables are set and the chips are stacked. Bond, Vesper, Casino Royale: tuxedos, dinner jackets, sharp suits, elegant gowns and a little intrigue. (And yes—repeating your tux on Saturday is fully allowed.)

FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 11

RECOVERY BY THE SEA
Beach Club

Swimsuits, cover-ups, sandals and sunscreen. Towels will be provided.

DAY 4 ·
SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 12

Frequently Asked Questions

We're arranging private water taxis to bring guests from Naples to Ischia several times throughout the day on Wednesday, September 9. Please submit your arrival information here by July 31, and we'll follow up with your boat details.
If you're arriving at a different time—or for your return trip—we recommend using Ferryhopper to book a public ferry. Ferries to Naples depart from Casamicciola Terme and Forio,the ports closest to the wedding hotels, as well as from Ischia Porto, which is under 30 minutes by taxi. The fastest crossings take around 50 minutes, while others make additional stops, so check the duration when booking. The Naples terminals are all in the same area, about 20–25 minutes from the airport.
Guests will be staying at Botania Relais & Spa and sister hotel Pal azzo Manzi. Specific hotel and boat transfer details will be shared directly with each guest.
Transportation will be provided between both hotels and each event. Departure times are included in the schedule.
Yes. Everything will be outdoors, except the Tutto o Niente evening, which will take place in a covered, open-air space. The wedding ceremony and aperitivo will be on the lawn, so you may want to opt for lawn-friendly footwear. Heel protectors will also be available.
You can reach out to either hotel concierge for spa, restaurant or taxi bookings: guestrelation@botaniarelais.com or info@palazzomanzi.com We also have Gianni, our local expert, available to help on WhatsApp at +39 334 313 0142.
No. Taxis are readily available, and your hotel concierge or Gianni can help arrange one. We also recommend saving your driver’s card or WhatsApp number so you can message about 20 minutes before you’re ready for your return ride.
It isn’t necessary. However, if narrow roads, hairpin turns and Italian drivers are your thing, both hotels have parking.
Coming all the way to Ischia is gift enough. For those who have asked, our registry is here.
We’ll be sharing wedding updates and logistics on WhatsApp, so please make sure you have the app downloaded before you arrive.
