After reading reviews of this hotel I knew it would be a good choice, the hotel is run by a lovely family, who are welcoming, Domingo on reception spoke perfect English, and gave us information about the island and how the logistics work, he was also able to give us vouchers for the thermal park which we took advantage of. The room was large with a wonderful sea view, very basic and the towels had seen better days, the pool area offers plenty of sunbeds, and a thermal jacuzzi, this is a very romantic hotel with small courtyards and fruit trees growing around the area. The hotel is located at the top of Casamicciole Port, 15 minutes down hill to the beautiful town, 20 minutes up along the sea front, but the bus stops right outside the hotel, but be prepared to battle with the crowd, ischia port is more 40 minutes walk down hill, and we took the bus back every time, there is a fruit and Veg shop opposite the hotel and a supermarket about 7 minutes all away, there's a great Pizza restaurant next to the supermarket which e ate there twice, €3.50 for a Napoli Pizza, can't go wrong! the only two things that let this hotel down was the breakfast and lunch (we didn't bother eating at night based on the lunch we had) and the bed was extremely hard. Other than that, a great hotel for our budget. I would come back.
