Facing Homonym Bay, this cute little Italian Beach on the Island of Ischia has fine sands, a nice waterfront restaurant and splendid castle views.

Admire the Aragonese Castle in the distance, check out the Rocks of Sant’Anna or simply relax on the sand of the picturesque Cartaromana Beach in Ischia Ponte.

Cartaromana Beach is one of the true hidden gems on the island of Ischia. The beach isn’t close enough to the main town of Ischia Ponte to be an obvious place to swim, which stops it from being overcrowded on most days. Get there on foot or by boat and swim in the warm clear waters of the Mediterranean Sea, which is warmed by natural thermal activity that remains in this volcanic region.

Because the beach is quite narrow due to coastal erosion, it’s recommended to come early in the day if you want to find a good spot to throw down your towel for sunbathing.

Rent a sun umbrella from the restaurant that sits just above the beach and order a refreshing drink from time to time. Dip into the water to soak or swim in tepid waters or stroll over the beach to enjoy the views. The beach has a rickety old jetty on which small boats can moor, so there is always something to see.

Sit down on the outdoor terrace of Ristorante Da Maria and take in the splendid vista of Aragonese Castle at sunset. This medieval fortress is perched high on a rocky islet and is a sight to behold.

Note that there is no car park near Cartaromana Beach in Homonym Bay. Buses leave from Porto d’Ischia heading to San Michele, from where you can walk down to the beach.

If you are walking from the main town of Ischia Ponte, Cartaromana Beach can be trickier to find. Locals sometimes confuse it with Nuova (new) Cartaromana, the spot where boats drop off passengers visiting the hotels and restaurants around Michelangelo's Tower. Others may point you to "Spiaggia Cartaromana belvedere” (beach viewing point) closest to Aragonese Castle. From near these rocks, you can take a little taxi boat across to Vecchia (old) Cartaromana, which is the actual beach.

To walk to Vecchia Cartaromana instead of taking a taxi boat, follow the road up to the cemetery and then head downhill. From Aragonese Castle, the walk can take up to an hour.

Hotel Bellvue Suite was a very pleasant, value for money, place to stay for my wife and I for our week in Amalfi, all the staff were helpful and happy to chat. Breakfast was a treat with a variety of foods, fruits, drinks available. A 20 minute walk gets you to Amalfi centre or a bus stop is very close-by, hotel reception had a selection of bus tickets for sale which was most convenient too! Our room was clean (and cleaned/serviced every morning) and featured a near 'black-out' blind so early sunrise didn't wake us too early, the shower and bathroom generally were excellent, a safe in the room was handy for keeping documents etc in to save carrying about. Our only disappointments were the lack of a café - which was advertised on Expedia and it not being a beach-front property - again as advertised on Expedia. The bar did sell crisps, peanuts and very light snacks but was not a café. As for 'beach-front' cliff-front would be a more more accurate description. A major reason we booked this hotel was for walk out the door onto the beach expectations. Both these downside points are I imagine down to Expedia failing to visit the property rather than the fault of the property itself which as I stated previously is excellent! Overall we had a wonderful stay and I would particularly like to thank Antonio for his advice regarding tours, transport and general information, his advice was invaluable. I can highly recommend Hotel Bellvue Suite as a great place to stay if you visit Amalfi.
