Nothing really.

Location, fantastic views, friendly and helpful staff, the 2 cats, great breakfast, pleasant walk into Ponte for great choice of restaurants, lovely dipping pool with fabulous views, good bus service, nice walk over the hill to the nearest beach.

The bus instructions were slightly unclear - as the number on the bus is different to the numbers given by the hotel - but once I figured that out it was very easy to catch it right from the front door.

Beautiful, good value hotel with incredible views, clean pool, varied breakfast and polite staff.

The staff at Hotel Don Felipe were exceptionally helpful and friendly. Breakfast was really delicious and had some wonderful little touches which I really appreciated (like the immune booster ginger and turmeric infusion). My partner and I had a lovely and restful break. I often travel solo and would readily stay at this hotel again either on my own, with my partner or with a group.

It is in a quieter, more isolated part of Ischia, difficult to get around without a vehicle. We opted for the buses but they are not very frequent and a lot of time was wasted waiting. The hotel can organise a reliable driver for you though. A small bar fridge is provided but no drinking glasses, which is odd.

The view!! We had a sea view room, and the balcony view was spectacular. The pool was a lovely temperature for soaking in after a long day, and the view from the pool was beautiful. The restaurant was affordable and nice, and the staff were very friendly and helpful. Excellent value.

Great location with amazing views, and lovely people

The bus system in Ischia can be quite bad, not respecting the timetable. Sometimes it is hard to reach the property.

The location of this property is amazing! Perfect views over Castello Aragonese and over the bay. The sunrise at this property was one of the nicest experiences I have had in Italy! You can see the bay of Naples all the way from Capri to Procida. The staff was friendly, we arrived earlier than checkin/left later than checkout and we could store luggage and use the hotel facilities in the mean time. The staff also had nice activity recommendations. The meals they offer for lunch and dinner are very nice and the setting of their terrace is amazing. The value for money was very good for September in the Naples region. The breakfast had a wide choice. The pool is a bit small, but still large enough to enjoy for a short time.

One of the greatest and mesmerizing Booking.com experiences. Friendly staff, beautiful view from the balcony. I will definitely come back again!

Breakfast was great but there could have been more vegetarian options. The location was nice but a bit far from Ischia Porto and the bus schedules weren’t very accurate.

Views from the hotel were amazing and the room was very cozy and clean. The hotel staff was also extremely helpful and friendly. And the hotel’s rooftop restaurant was excellent with great views and very tasty food. Bonus points for the cat. Overall, we had an amazing holiday and enjoyed our visit very much!

Nothing to complain.

Staff was really friendly and helpful. Even extended service hours for us - late dinner and earlier breakfast made our stay just perfect. They also helped a lot getting around the island by providing reliable taxi service and excellent attraction advice.

Bit of a walk to get to the Ischia Ponte centre though there is a public bus stop right outside that runs regularly

Good breakfast and beautiful pool overlooking the bay, views from our balcony were amazing

It has about 60 steps but are manageable to climb I would suggest hand rail and reflector strip on them but they were fine to clim up when you see the view. The bartender makes great drinks

The view was fabulous

There was a party at another hotel which was extremely loud till 12am also with the fireworks.. it could be told to us i think..some stuff on our room seemed to be old.. paper walls - i heard messenger notifications from another room.. the location was fine i liked that we could walk no longer than 20 minutes to be near Castello Aragonese, but the buses were crazy - only every 50 minutes interval each. Better with the car or scooter..

The hotel and the gardens were fabulous, i liked the swimming pool we had it for ourselves every morning and it is great you can use it 8-21 :) Receptionist was kind. The bed was perfect. Views are just amazing if you love to wake up and watch the sunrise..

The facility and the views!

It is a very good hotel, I am very satisfied, I recommend it to everyone

The hotel does not have a private beach. You need to pay 15-30 euros a day per person just to go to the beaches owned by other hotels (you get a discount if you are from Don Felipe hotel). Also, some beach hotels demand from you to have a lunch at their restaurant (even though you paid your entrance fee). You would need to walk a bit more to arrive to some beaches with free entrance.

The location and the room sea view was great! Hosts are really pleasent and happy to help. The location is beatuiful, near the town and restaurants (there is a shortcut to the center and the castle). The breakfast is okay but most days the dishes are the same. They prepare home made juices, that is great.

It’s not what we didn’t like but the menu at the bistro could be a little bit bigger or change every few days. Same for the breakfast

The view is amazing. The staff is incredibly nice and helpful. Very good service. The room was very comfortable, big with a little outdoor area.

The views were beautiful and staff excellent. Dinner was served overlooking the coast and great vegetarian options! The pool made may stay even better with the views. Cannot fault this! I will come back here.

there was a slight leakage problem that caused the floors to dampen at times. this did damage a novel o had sitting on the floor. However, when I notified a staff member that attentively cleaned up the wetness for me.

Don Felipe was fundamentally beautiful. It beheld a charm that most the Amalfi Coast has lost in past years due to buzzling tourists and scammerish rip off hotel chains. Independent, authentic, genuine and overall spectacular. Facilities, views and natural vistas and most importantly beverages, snacks and the soft warmth that emanated the team there. A true gem, indeed, I was reluctant to write such a gleaming review in efforts to gate-keep such a precious place. But hey, if you’ve come this far into reading this review- I guess you too deserve the the absolute pleasure of staying at such a wonderful place.

Nothing, it was really nice.

I feel at home. We like the gardens, the terrace, everything….a family run hotel with lots of charm. I like to swim in the sea, and it was perfect that three lidos were close to the hotel
