    We had a wonderful stay! The room was nice and clean, and the staff were incredibly helpful and welcoming. The water was crystal clear, and there were plenty of great restaurants nearby. It truly felt like a home away from home. A special thank you to Mario, Teresa, and Maria for making our holiday even better — your kindness made all the difference!

    Only small complaint was the AC unit system in our room. It didn’t work as well as we would have liked. So a lot of sweaty nights!

    The location was great near the beach - 2 min walk down the hill. Kids loved the Jacuzzi at the end of a Long Beach day. Room size was good for our family. All the staff were always super helpful and attentive. Mario was amazing!

    The Cava dell’Isola hotel provides a good buffet breakfast and there is an open bar in the late afternoon/early evening. There are also two beach restaurants just down the hill, but they only offer lunch. So for dinner you have to take the stairs and walk to Citara or Forio (not far, just about 10-15 minutes’ walk).

    We had a wonderful relaxing stay at this family-run boutique hotel. It is really a little gem with welcoming friendly staff and a great location, hidden down the hill right next to a beautiful natural beach and two very good restaurants. The bright comfortable room with its own terrace and sea view is designed with a lovely coastal color palette, but can be easily transformed into a silent and dark space by closing the glass doors and shutters. Poseidon Thermal Gardens is only 15 min' walking distance. You have to go up and down the stairs to get to the town or back to the hotel, which we considered our daily fitness routine). Staying away from the busy tourist area felt very peaceful and tranquil. Thank you to the amazing staff who made us feel like home: Teresa, Giusy, Mario and Lina. We wish we could stay longer here. See you next time!

    It wasn’t an issue for us, but there are at least 50 steps from the street down to the hotel which would not be suitable for someone who has poor mobility. The walk down to the beachfront also involves steps which aren’t the easiest.

    The location was perfect - it was a couple of metres away from Cava Dell’Isola beach which was, in our opinion, the best beach on the island. The main town Forio was approx 20 minute walk away and Citara was about 10 minute walk with easy access to the Poseidon Spa. The hotel staff were fantastic, available practically all hours for support if needed. Theresa (the owner) went above and beyond, driving us personally to the port so we wouldn’t miss our ferry home. The beds were comfortable and the breakfast was good. We would certainly stay again.

    Steps up to the top street are a calf burner! No long/full length mirror in the rooms.

    Property is a great location for accessing Forio (~20min walk), yet not being in the busy port area. It’s next to the best beach in Ischia (as voted for by the locals) and has a couple of good bar/restaurants overlooking the beach. Note, the closest restaurants close at 17:30ish, so will have to walk into one of the towns for dinner, or there’s one a 5 min walk but it is £££. The staff are so helpful and friendly. Nice breakfast and the bar is open from 17-20:30 which is lovely to watch the sunset from.

    The property has very steep steps down to the entrance. These would be challenging for any one with mobility issues.

    This family run property is situated in a cove with direct views of the sea, a 15 minute walk from Foria.

    An unforgettable stay with exceptional service, a stunning location, and a warm community feel.

    The Wi-Fi didn’t work well in my room, and cell service was spotty, but it was a minor issue. I guess you just have to sit outside and enjoy the ocean if you want to use your phone. Such a difficult problem to have ;)

    I loved my stay here! The room was impeccably clean, with turndown service every morning. Both the room and bathroom were spacious and lovely. But the best parts were the people and the location. The location is just up the hill from the Cava beach and their restaurant. I highly recommend starting your trip with a pizza on the beach—nothing better! The water was perfect and the pizza was inexpensive and delicious! The hotel is also a short walk to Citara & Poseidon (about 10-15 minutes) and Forio (20-25 minutes). It's hilly but I enjoyed walking along the hillside with views of the water. It helps you get ready to fuel up on seafood pasta and pizza ;) The family and staff who run this place are truly special. I left feeling like part of their community. Josie (Josy?) welcomed me when I arrived and was so helpful. She laid out everything I needed to know. They also answered my endless questions about the buses (which were confusing), called places for me when I needed help, provided recommendations, and even gave me a ride with them into Forio when they were heading there too. Teresa helped get me to Forio Porto and hugged me when we parted. I can't say enough wonderful things about these amazing people. I just wish I lived closer so I could vacation here more often. To echo what others have said, the walk down the hill to the hotel is steep so I'd only recommend booking if you're prepared for this. I wish I had known there was a driveway for luggage, so I’m sharing this now! If you arrive with a roller suitcase, there’s a driveway to the left at the top of the stairs (if you're facing the water). There’s a gate, but you can walk in next to it. It’s still steep and not smooth, but it’s much easier than carrying luggage down the steps—I realized this after the fact! Ha!

    Everything turned out better than we had hoped. Location by the beach Cava Dell`Isola and with a great view from the terrace and the room. The sound of the waves for complete relaxation. Quiet stay, everything just renovated, new look. Good breakfast and a great bar with a very nice bartender who tells you about the island. Nearby Vespa rental, bus stop and Forio, one of the most beautiful places on the island. If you are interested - Poseidon Termes is also 15 minutes' walk away.
