Hotel Don Felipe

Beautiful peaceful location with serene views. the bus stop and beach club (Giardino Eden) are right infront of the entrance. wonderful, helpful and welcoming staff (easy to communicate in English). A bit outdated, but comfortable, clean room (sea view). fresh tasty buffet breakfast with local pastries and fresh juices. The pool was warm and always sparkling. Things to note: the property is on a mountain side, so quite a few stairs, but manageable for basic fitness. The bistro on the rooftop offers great drinks and a simple menu. The room TV only has local channels in Italian (but we managed to change the audio settings to English for a couple of dubbed movie channels) - the F1 is not broadcast live on the local channels, but it is available to watch a few hours after the race. (hotel Aragona at Ischia port did broadcast live). Pool towels available for hire, EUR5 per towel, once off. The staff can arrange anything for you - a private transfer to the port was EUR20 one way (not per person). The local buses didn't seem to accept visa cards (they work everywhere else), so it's better to buy a bus ticket from a local shop - also, the buses can be delayed - but they do show up eventually. Google maps says bus 182 & 183 but it's actually 12 & 13 that stop at the hotel. I give it 9.9 out of 10, because there is room to improve, and with the amount of effort and care going in to making the hotel better and better - I'm certain they will become a 4 star hotel soon! We would definitely stay here again!

Great location , very clean and comfortable and staff very helpful. Rooms air conditioned with balcony and views of the fortress. Short walk into town for dinner and good location to explore Ischia. Small, quiet hotel, would definitely return.

I had a fantastic stay at Hotel Don Felipe. The staff was incredibly helpful, and the room was spotless. I loved the hotel's convenient location near the city center and the breathtaking views of the Bay of Naples from the terrace and room. I highly recommend it.

Wow, where to begin. We spent 2 nights here and every second was perfection. Whilst it is in a quieter area you can walk to the castle in 15 mins and either catch a bus or taxi to Ischia Porto. Taxi is a standard rate of €15. The views are breathtaking, the hotel is so clean and staff will go above and beyond for you. The breakfast and lunch were tasty and the limoncello spritz made to perfection! The Porte has great nightlife and we took a taxi to Negombo Spa for €30 which was just incredible. The beach clubs directly opposite are also well worth it and you get a slight discount. Overall our stay was a dream, Ischia has our heart and Don Felipe would be our chosen spot every time if we chose to return! Thank you so much !

What a wonderful place to stay! The view cannot be beat, waking up to the perfect views was so special. Everything was super clean and I felt taken care of. I was there alone, and stayed in the single room, and it was perfect for what I needed, at such a fair price. Plus a great pool and a quality breakfast (and restaurant staff) were so wonderful. I would stay again for sure! The only thing that wasn't ideal for me personally was perhaps the location -- it was a great location if you have a scooter or car, but I found that (using public transit) I was having to trek pretty far to get to a lot of the locations I wanted to visit on the island (like Poseidon). But even given that, I'd still stay again in a heartbeat. I hope to return!

This Hotel is amazing, the rooms are great with their own patio area, the views from the bar are spectacular. They serve a breakfast buffet in the back room with views over the sea. You can eat lunch and dinner on the patio with amazing views. The poolid small but just the right size to cool off. The views from the pool are beautiful too. To get into Ischia Ponte or Ischia Porto it's a short bus journey, making it very easy to travel around. To sum up the staff are really friendly, the rooms are great, the views are amazing. The bus journeys around the island are quite easy to navigate & the pool is a great area to relax and cool down
