Family Hotels in Ischia and Procida Islands

The hotel was a bus ride from the ferrt port, and was very nice. Restaurants good (the best octopus I ever ate!) and the pools were nice. The hotel seems to cater to German visitors, and some signs were only in Italian and German; tricky for English speakers. Fortunately the menus were in English. the spa services were so nice that I went back for more, and could have done even more with more time. AC did not seem to work in room, but windows opened. I thought it was a good value and would go back.

We stayed at this hotel for a week in July 2007. The hotel staff were helpful, courteous, and were all excellent English speakers. The concierge service was particularly helpful with a great knowledge of the island and loacality, we booked several trips through them. The room was comfortable, clean and air conditioned. Hotel facilities were centered around Ischia's reputation for thermal springs, spas etc. and had numerous pools, extensive spa and beautician services and a basic gym. Breakfast was included and was a full continental with cereals, breads and spreads, croissants a variety of muffins and cakes and plenty of fruit. So no problems satisfying even a fussy 4 year old. Food in the hotel was more expensive than a similar quality elsewhere so we tended to eat out, although the Wednesday night buffet is not to be missed. There is a great pizza / pasta restaurant just next door (Da' gaetano's). The hotel is located about a mile from the main town of Ischia Porto so it's easy to walk although buses are regular and cheap.

This hotel is beautiful, and if you have a car, or an unlimited budget for cab fare, I highly recommend it. If you are without a vehicle, be forewarned that the hotel is very far from the marina, busses are sporadic (there was a strike the day I was there, and when they WERE running, they were an hour and a half behind), and there are few restaurants or entertainment (short of a small bar) anywhere within walking distance. It is also hard to find on foot, the addresses seem to go from 7 to 42 to 33 with no method to the madness. Also, the proprietor told me that the last bus left the marina at midnight, but in actuality, it left at 11:05, so I had to walk up a giant hill in the dark after dinner. You will love the pool and amenities if you are armed with all the info, but if you are a budget backpacker like myself, this is probably not the place for you.

I chose this at random via Expedia. and I had NO idea where on Ischia it was located. I just booked my trip the morning of and when I arrived hopped in a taxi and it led me to this paradise. Itàs simply beautiful here. Views of Sant Angelo, amazing food, amazing family. I felt at home here and stayed longer than I had hoped to... they even have thermal pools and a cold pool. It is one of the best places I stayed here in Italy. Ischia has become my favorite island so far in the world! I was really happy to have chosen this area especially for September. This is an amazing family and they really work so hard to please guests. HIGHLY recommend!!! The food here was FANTASTIC!!! i had rabbit on sunday dinner and it was soooo amazing!

Delicious variety of breakfast. Spa included in price.
