We have just spent a week at this sensational hotel. The photographs don't do it justice. Everything is perfect from the reception, restaurant, outside areas, bedrooms and pools. As for the view from the restaurant . Magnificent. The staff are all wonderful. So professional and very well dressed. Friendly and very helpful. I am not going to mention names. Or I am bound to leave someone out. Everything is so tastefully done. From the hand painted floral tiles to the beautiful lounge area, all decked out in yellow.. I was impressed with the restaurant, glass tables with sea themed condiment sets. Beautiful orchids on every table. Even see through chairs. So nothing blocked the magnificent view. As for the food. Amazing dinners every night. Always beautifully presented. My compliments to the chefs. Would I go back there? You betcha, tomorrow if I could. It is in a very peaceful setting. There is even a short cut down to the town . A bit steep for part of the way back. I just about managed it with the help of the handrail. ((I wish I was 43 instead of 73. ) The bedroom was spotless. Lovely clean towels every day. Everything so fresh and inviting. Plenty of hot water for a shower. We had a lovely ground floor room , with a terrace. It overlooked the very well kept gardens, and had a wonderful sea view. Now if you think I am going on a bit, I really don't mind. One of the best hotels I have ever stayed in. Loved it. Any negatives? Not at all. But for me, I would have preferred dinner earlier than 7.30. But I know from being within an Italian family, they do eat later than us Brits. Just go there and see for yourselves. You will not be disappointed.

We had an absolutely gorgeous stay at this hotel in July. We have been wanting to visit Ischia for a while and came across this hotel and couldn’t not book it. It’s a reasonably small hotel but that made it even more special, the grounds are beautiful, the main pool area and sea deck were perfect. So well looked after and nice atmosphere, the staff were so friendly and very attentive and the rooms felt very private. Can’t comment on the food as we only had breakfast, but this was always great. The only thing that let the hotel down slightly was the rooms, a little worn and not quite up to scratch with the rest of the hotel. However, we don’t go on holiday to sit in the room so it didn’t really matter - the view from our room (sea view room) was amazing! I would highly recommend this hotel, 10 minute walk to the port, lovely staff, beautiful surroundings.

A lovely hotel on a steep cliff that grants you amazing views from just about everywhere. A hotel that knows its strengths and maintains them . If you’re after a shiny corporate affair this isn’t for you , if however you like places with character and high standards then do go . The gardens and setting are beautiful the rooms comfortable and staff friendly but professional. An enjoyable week spent on a really beautiful island.

Stayed here for 9 nights on our first trip to Ischia. The hotel staff were all first class, stayed half board and the included 4 course menu's were amazing and portions generous. The pool areas have plentiful beds and the cleanliness of the hotel and rooms was good. I would definitely recommend this hotel - to note they have upgraded one of the pools since the website photos .

Our room, 110, was beautiful, very clean. Spacious balcony overlooking the gardens, pool and bay. Food was excellent, 4 course dinner, different menu every night. We did half board. Great breakfast. Dining well run by Vittorio, all staff friendly and courteous. Reception staff were very helpful, special mention to Valentina and Antonio (Jack Grealish) in maintenance . Stand out feature were the 2 thermal pools. Very warm, clean. Great not to have them polluted with chlorine. The upper pool had 4 cabanas available. Very relaxing. Walkable into Port Ischia along the back path. Bus back to the hotel. Highly recommended. Worth its 4 star rating.
