Positano to Ischia in Striped Linen

Hi friends, happy Monday! Today I’m giving you a little peek into the fabulous resort I stayed at for a few nights last week. It’s called San Montano and it’s located in one of the little Islands off the coast of Italy called Ischia.

I cannot say enough about this place – it was AHH-mazing! And we ALL wished we could have spent more time there and were so sad to leave (both the island and the resort!) Stay tuned for a short little review of the resort if you’re considering visiting (you totally should)! But for now, I’ve got the cutest little dress to share with y’all :)

I wore this dress to make the trek from Positano to Sorrento and then to Ischia In order to get from Positano to Ischia, we had to travel across the Sorrentine peninsula to Sorrento – and from there we caught a ferry to the island of Ischia (if you have any logistics question – let me know and I’d be happy to answer them!).

So about this dress….it was the PEFECT little travel dress for summer. It’s light weight and airy, so it doesn’t get too hot :) and the high-top front is super flattering and such an IN neckline right now :) And how adorable is this hat?! It was great for traveling all day because I didn’t have to worry about my hair getting in my face and it stayed put – if that makes sense? Also, it was great for all the wind on the ferry – it actually stayed on and kept my hair from flying ALL over the place and getting all tangled.

I can’t wait to go back to Ischia one day and hopefully spend a little more time exploring and soaking it all up. We were only there for 2 nights and really only had one full day – definitely NOT enough time!

I was in Ischia with two of my girl friends and we SO looked forward to wine and snacks on the patio each night. The resort is located atop a big hill so you’ve got a 360 degree view of the entire island – and it breathtakingly beautiful! I absolutely love how every time you order a glass of wine in Italy, they bring you yummy little snacks. I’m going to be so spoiled by this little treat by the time I get back to the states!
