What People are saying

Not a great experience at this hotel

Just came back from our second time on the island and we chose this hotel due to the reviews left by the people who visited before. Unfortunately I feel like it wasn't at all as I read. To start with the good things , the reason that I gave average and not poor, the location in terms of view, surroundings, looks of the hotel from the outside , the pool, small but nice and heated , hotel clean on the inside, rooms quite a good size. All of these do make you give the hotel a good review . But for me it felt like was living in a shared house where you paid for your room with a shared balcony so no privacy at all , the noisiest hotel ever where you can hear everything and I mean everything , every fart, snore , toillet flush , door slammed and any sort of noise that you can imagine . If you cannot sleep through noise than good luck because at the end of my holiday all I wanted was to sleep. Keep in mind that we were a couple with a 3 years old child who wasn't noisy at all. Second thing that drove me mad was the breakfast which was not basic or nice, it was awful. Same thing every day, some fruits unwashed in a dirty bowl, some croissants for which people were fighting, the cheapest cereals you can buy in a supermarket , a bowl of yoghurt, 2 bowls of jam and jam in small sizes, a jar of Nutella and a jar of honey , 2 types of juice and water and also bread which could have broken your teeth if you ate it and wasn't fresh every day. There was the luxury of a cake , the same every day and of course coffee for which we came down in the first place. that is it, no egg, no milk, no cheese or any sort of thing, no vegetable , nothing , very, very low and the cutlery was extremely dirty( like washed in a dishwasher with no washing liquid ) .I know it's a low cost hotel but if you cannot offer a decent breakfast the forget it. There are people who come with kids and they don't expect this , an adult can starve for the morning but a child needs to eat. Also to top it up there is no fridge in the room ( not in the one I stayed ) so although there is a supermarket close you cannot buy and keep something at cold .Thank God we didn't buy half board or even all inclusive. Another thing , the hotel advertises that they offer free shuttle service to Maronti beach. Wrong- maybe they do it for their friends or Italians but when I asked I was told to take bus 10 and that is it . 7 nights I slept on the same sheet , and the night before the last my son , due to excitement from the day , weed the bed so I had to collect all the sheets and asked to have them changed . We had a tv in the room, very high up , no remote control, twice I asked for it , nobody bothered to give me one. No shower gel in the bathroom, if you as a hotel don't have the standards to put a cheap shower gel sachet in the bathroom then what else is to say. Some rooms have a shower cabin which is nice and more hygienic but ours had a filthy curtain.The coffee at the bar , one day was €1.50 the next day was €2.00 so it's how they feel to sell it, no prices anywhere so you know how much you're paying and a juice from a carton of €1.00 from the supermarket , they sold it with €3.00. It's a shame because the potential is high and good customer service will make a difference in this place . It's a no from me :(

Disappointed!

My friend and I stayed here for a weekend at the end of March. I didn't write a review immediately after, as I don't like being negative. But having read the most recent reviews, I felt compelled to write about my experience. The hotel is in a beautiful location, but we found local buses didn't run frequently enough. The hotel and rooms were clean and adequate, but we were most disappointed that the swimming pool was empty, and the outside areas were unkempt and a little neglected. We were upset as no apology was offered. We had read that Ischia has natural, health giving springs, which tap into the pool. So to find an empty pool was a big disappointment. The breakfast each day was lovely, tasty and fresh. But due to a lack of guests, the restaurant lacked atmosphere, and we were unable to eat outside on a terrace?? We were treated politely, but on arrival, I feel we didn't receive a particularly warm welcome. In fact we were just directed to our room, and left to struggle up the stairs on our own. I just feel that at the time of booking, we should of been informed about the lack of pool, and the whole "out of season" feel to the whole place. Sadly, it did spoil my first experience of visiting Italy.

Blue sky - green mountains and peace - that is it.........

We had a fantastic location, in the mountains of Ischia. Blue skies, green all around. A fantastic view - you could even spot Vesuvio on the mainland. The swimming pool was heated with hot, hot, very hot water from the volcanic underground.....
The family run hotel had the most friendly staff, always helpful and chatty. You had a choice of food - meat/fish/veggie - you name it. And several people staying at the hotel had been before - also due to location (very quiet/friendly) and the sheer friendliness of the owners. We had a varied breakfast, and were able to order different egg dishes additionally. The evening meal had different salad choices every night. We could choose between rice and pasta dishes for starters. Then there was meat, fish or vegetable dishes. Puddings/cakes and fruit was available for desert. And the wine on offer was a local, very dry white wine. All in all a great holiday....... Try it out. The owners speak Italian, German and English.

Peaceful!

Peaceful location but easily accessible by public transports (Buses are great and cheap - bus stop 50m from hotel).
Simple but confortable hotel with excellent deals!
The manager is extremely kind, attentive and helpful.
Big breakfast served in the veranda overlooking the pool with homemade cakes.
Great view from some of the rooms!

Best holidays for a long time!

We spent 2 weeks greeting mount Vesuvio every morning and wishing him good night every night! My boys 12 and 11 years old enjoyed the marvellous food and authentic island! Missing it dearly as I write this.
