Lack of private transport but there's a bus stopping next to the hotel.

This hotel is nested in a spectacular location. There are parts of of the building and rooms which need to be renovated, but the view from your room when you wake up is priceless. I would go back there anytime and recommend it for special occasions.

The beds are wide and big. We came as a family and there were enough towels and supplies.

Old furniture , the hotel really needs a revamp and the cleaning can improve. I mean, that shower cabin is so old and useless. However, the beds were comfortable. The hotel is very far from the center / 40 min walking ( uphill) to get to a supermarket or to the restaurants :/. They tell you about bus 12 or 13 which stop in front of the hotel , but the buses never arrive in good times. If you order a cab - the front desk is telling you 10 euros and the cab driver is asking you 15! It’s outrageous how often they add extra euros for everything! The best for me was the water taxi ( 5 euros ) , you’re in Ischia Ponte in 5 min. Ask for the extra charge when you check in, to not have surprises as I had. At the check out, they told me I had to pay 15 euros for city tax, cos I booked with booking. com Go figure!

The view from the room was amazing. Both the receptionists and people working in the restaurant are friendly and helpful. However, 1 or 2 understand proper English!

we had dinner one time and the set menu really limited or options and restaurant had no atmosphere

fantastic location with private beach access, water taxi service, bus on the doorstep and views to die for. hotel was charming and quaint.

The air conditioning is a problem as it’s centrally controlled and there’s nothing you could do to control the temperature and in summers it was pretty to challenging for a peaceful sleep at night or even during day time you can’t even stay in to beat the heat because the rooms were not cool enough. We had a beautiful sea view room but we had to keep the curtains closed the whole time to keep the room a bit cooler because the AC was disappointing. We did ask the reception to come and check but there was nothing done for it. It was sad because you come for a relaxing vacation and these little things upsets the whole experience unfortunately. It’s an old hotel so we didn’t expect super modern facilities but there are definitely things that could be improved to make the stay more comfortable like AC and better toiletries

The sea access, location, the view the properly itself is beautiful and very serene. Absolutely loved it.

Nothing.

The views were amazing! The bus lines numbers 12 and 13 stopped right in front of the hotel. The wardrobes and furniture were classic inlaid wood from Sorrento. The bathroom tiles were beautiful and unique. Nice friendly staff.

Not all stuff was friendly and you have to pay for beach towels everyday. Restaurant was good but overpriced.

Location of the hotel is gorgeous. Hotel itself is cute but a bit old. I had a beautiful room but my friends were not as lucky and had a terrible rooms some with no widows at all just entry door from outside or in the basement where is very humid and smell like public pool even if there are better rooms available. But overall the location and the views make it up for all the flaws.

There could be done better room cleaning- bathroom ...

Location is perfect... Away from big tourist crowds.. Nice, calm place.... Bus, taxi-car or boat...

Didn’t feel very welcomed as a young solo female traveller/non Italian speaker. The facilities and hotel in general is quite old. I stayed out of peak season and paid a discounted rate but I wouldn’t want to be paying much more… breakfast was very average also. All facilities outside were very run down

Great location with private beach

in the room you can feel a smell of mold

the view was beautiful ... the fridge was useful for cold drinks ...Also the staff was friendly

I would say the property should not be 5 stars. the staff was so friendly and lovely it really compensated some things that were not the best: the breakfast was a bit poor, we had a cockroach in our bathroom and not having a private balcony or full time attending on the beach (every time we wanted something we had to climb all the stairs up to reception) for that price was a bit disappointing. overall I think it was all just because the property was understaffed.

the view was outstanding and the room was lovely! the staff was great and our room always tidy. I went home completely relaxed.

The front desk staff was not friendly or helpful at all. And the cleaning staff stole a silver bracelet I left out on the table.

The view from the upper level of the hotel was amazing. Unfortunately, the only room with a king bed was on the ground floor, so the view wasn't as great.

Upon arrival at the set check-in time we had to wait an additional two hours for our room to be ready. We were told at check-in that their concept was “bed and breakfast” which is of course a different story than the 4 star hotel we booked. However I believe we got lucky with the cost at booking and I think the price reflected a more simple standard, especially for Ischia in August.

Beautiful location, although slightly isolated with sparse buses. We had a simpler room (not portrayed in the pictures :) however everything worked perfectly and the shared terrace was lovely. Simple but sufficient breakfast.

Charming rooms with sea views. Very good private ocean swimming at the hotel.

Charming hotel facing the ocean.

The check in process upon arrival, the confusion from two men in particular with no English speaking ability and the deceptive room photos in comparison to the booking made. We were ready to walk and book another hotel, not comforting with 2 young children and having travelled all morning and excited to check in for 5 days. After strong discussions we settled on a suitable room

The ocean access and a nice walk into Ponte

The staff is incredibly bad for such facilities. Countless exemples in mind - everything is wrong. Count only on yourself and enjoy the place.

Everything but the staff Location and ratio price/quality excellent

Stayed in July 2023

Distance from shops, etc and lack of regular buses to the hotel. Lack of information on check in about transports, shops etc. I luckily found a laneway not far up the road where we could walk to ponte, should have told this by staff.

View was amazing, pool was great, chairs by the water were extra special.

it’s a very nice location, but the hotel is under resourced. so simple things take lots of time. wouldn’t recommend this if you’re looking for a relaxing resort style stay. if you just need somewhere to sleep in a nice location but will travel the island during the day, this is great for you.

great location, great breakfast

There should be a sign at the hotel entrance saying where the reception is because once you get in, you don't know where to go. There is something weird about the management which we really don't understand! Reception is more than awful. I booked a delux room with sea view and balcony and I ended up in a basement room till next day when they moved me to the right room I booked with no proper apology or a simple discount or any hint of respect that I tolerated their mistake. No iron, No simple mininar, which we usually find in any terrible motel! The fridge was not working. No complimemtary water in rooms. The hotel is simply dead after sunset while nearby hotels are lively and lots of music and activities.This hotel management will save no effort to make your stay weird and unpleasant. They give you the feeling that u r staying for free. I recommend the management take some hospitality management and tourism courses. Communication skills is essential too. Every single moment I spent at the reception was full of unstable opinions and zero policy and principle. Even the intern who took a shift for the night till morning knows nothing but saying (I don't know). I would give 1 star just because of the management.

Where to start!! First, I read many different comments about this hotel, some are true and some are not. So, I'll list my detailed review making sure that every word I write here is honest and helpful. This hotel is a true gem of Ischia, regardless of the terrible personalities at the reception (the owner and her sons as they seem so) though our sincere thanx to Lino and his younger brother who were nice and friendly and I am sure they have that shamful feeling because of the grumpy attitudes of their family! The hotel is vintage and enchanting and I like such places. The view is breathtaking and their private terrace down the sea is just the perfect place to swim and relax. Breakfast is just perfect and has what you need at an island (local eggs, yogurt, variety of cakes, limited fruits though the island has super fruits varieties, jam & honey, cereals, meat, 3 types of cheese, 2 types of juice and hot drinks of course). Rooms are niether very small nor large, small and eficient enough for few days. Bed is super comfortable and bathrooms are beautiful with Sicilian taste. Services: The only good thing about services are the taxi lady we met, the staff at the breakfast though they barely smile and look mad all the time (do smiles cost money is this hotel? I guess yes), and gardener and the boatman. The restaurant is new and not many guests dine in though the dishes look awesome. Accessibility: the bus stops right at the door and be ready for some other grumpy bus drivers. They don't have tickets and not willing to help. You should buy tickets from the port when you first leave the ferry. Or take a taxi to the port again for 15 euros to buy a 1.5 euros for the bus 😝. The best way to utilize the island is to rent a scooter or a small car from the port. Final recommendation: don't book in this hotel. There are alot of nearby hotels that are very welcoming. Thanks to Lino and his wonderful very young brother. The island is worth multiple visits.

The staff was a bit standoffish. Spoke very broken English.

Great location, beautiful view. Private dock with swimming area. Breakfast was included and also good. Short walk to restaurants/shopping area. You can walk to the castle which was worth it.
