The hotel was beautiful. So we’ll spaced out with so many hidden areas to sit and relax, you almost felt like you had the place to yourself. Maybe it was because it was still on the quieter end of the season but it seemed more like a B&B with just a few guests around then a busy hotel. The facilities were A1 and dinner in the restaurant was top notch and also great value for money.

Our only complaint was the staff member running the beach deck. He was an older male and took a liking to us as young women in our 20s, calling me into the lifeguard cave and making very inappropriate and coercive comments, giving me his name and number and trying to convince me to meet him for a midnight swim. His comments got even more in appropriate and I was very uncomfortable. It really tainted our experience in the hotel as all other staff had been amazing and I don’t think that should be overlooked for the actions of one. I had really wanted to go for one more swim on the beach before I left but I was too uncomfortable at the thought of meeting this staff member on my own to return to the beach.

The property is quirky but Beautiful the rooms are clean and bright the grounds are immaculate being constantly worked on all day. We were bed and breakfast,the only hot option were eggs done every way and bacon. this was fine with me lots of other options on display. The staff are very friendly and helpful nothing is any trouble. Courtesy bus to and from town during the day which is a godsend if you can’t walk steep hills. Finally I’d like to say Thankyou to all the staff for making our stay so special. This is is classified a 4star but really very close to a 5star. We will be back !!

I would say if you find steps a problem this isn’t the hotel for you as it is situated in the mountain. Something in the port or town would better suit. This is not the hotels fault but the Taxis from town are very expensive. During the day make sure you take advantage of the hotel’s courtesy bus. As Taxis vary from €15-€20 for a 1 1/2 mile trip

The location is amazing. Even though it is up the hill, you can quite easily walk to the hotel from the port. They also offer hotel shuttle which we did not use. I would recommend it to younger people as the hotel is located on a cliff and there is a lot of stairs, but we did not mind and loved the scenery. The pools nor the beach pier were not crowded at all, always a few free spaces and one afternoon we had the pool completely to ourselves (we recommend staying at the upper pool). The only problem/inconvenience for us was that the hotel restaurant is very overpriced and the quality of the food poor (the last thing you want after four days in Napoli is badly prepared frozen pizza). The breakfast was good though and you can get good pizza in the centre in the evening. Overall good stay and we think we will come back some time.

The restaurant is so overpriced and the food not great. Frozen pizza for 6 euro and not even baked well. Club sandwich for around 16 euro (don't remember exactly). The staff was nice though and the breakfast was sufficient, but lunches here were difficult if you don't want to go to a restaurant in the city at noon.

The lower pool area was lovely and enough sunbeds for all. Breakfast had a lot of choice. Staff very friendly.

The top pool area needs looking at aa a few holes in the tiles. The room we stayed in needs refurbishment. The room was big but the bathroom was very small and needed much improvement. We couldn't sit outside because of the sap from the tree but also not very private as the next room is on the same level. As we couldn't use the outside, there was not a lot of room for drying.your towels or swimming clothes.

I loved that the location of the hotel was close enough that I could walk into town (about a 20 minute walk) when I wanted more activity, but also far enough that it was removed from noise or crowds. It was really peaceful and tranquil, very relaxing and the hotel grounds were beautiful with lush plants and flowers everywhere. The two pools were gorgeous and gave me options to choose from, and the beach area was also beautiful. The restaurant was also lovely, though I only had breakfast. (Which was great and had an amazing selection!) I already miss having cappuccinos and fresh fruit while looking out at the sea! My room was also lovely, just the right size, very quiet and I loved that I had a balcony.

I wouldn't change anything about my experience. I truly loved it all.

Our second visit to Ischia and we wanted to stay close to the port area for restaurants. The Continental Mare was in a great position. The hotel is on a steep hill and the staff would take us on the golf cart to the road an easy walk down to the port and we would catch the bus back and the stop is outside the hotel. Or if the hotel transfer bus was dropping or picking up passengers they were always happy to give us a lift. The staff are lovely and always there to help when l asked for a kettle in the room, no problem. The breakfast is lovely and you can order the eggs how you would like them cooked which is much nicer. The pool areas are great and the view is amazing. Also really appreciate the complimentary pick up and drop off at the port, makes a difference when you don't have to look for a taxi.

Some of the rooms have been renovated, and the rooms are a good size but could do with a little bit of styling.

Lovely hotel with fantastic location on the cliffs just a short walk from the port of Ischia. Food ( half board was fabulous and abundant ( waiter service at dinner. Buffet breakfast on terrace with the wonderful view. Our room was excellent and opened onto one of the swimming pool terraces . The staff were excellent. They arranged a taxi to meet us at the port on our arrival from Naples and also on our departure. They booked excursions to Capri and Negumbo thermal gardens. Waiters were friendly and everyone couldn't do enough to make our stay special. Would highly rate this hotel.

Everything was superb.

Beautiful, well maintained property. Two lovely pools and jetty with deck chairs by the sea. Peaceful location with 10 minute walk to the Port. Friendly, helpful staff. Free shuttle to and from the port. Breakfast and coffees good. Would stay here again.

People in room below smoked outside so it drifted up to our balcony. Party boats in front of hotel with blaring music one afternoon. There is a step down from the basin to the toilets/shower. The hotel kindly provided a nightlight.

The aircon was great, and the hotel rooms are kept so clean daily. Loved that there were a few pools to choose from too - kept it interesting! It was also nice that they offered to send us to the port, free of charge. A great convenience, especially as it had rained quite hard that day we checked out.

There's a lot of stairs though, which makes sense as it's situated on the cliff side. However, I wish I had known if there was an option to get picked up at the port! Minor detail, that I wish I had paid attention to / known about, somewhere.

-Excellent customer service and friendly staff, Pasquale il bagnino and the front office ladies were very friendly and nice to us -Comfortable beds and cozy atmosphere -Beautiful views from the room -Good breakfast -Fast and reliable Wi-Fi connection -Well-equipped fitness center and spa facilities -Efficient and hassle-free check-in and check-out process, we could even check in earlier as the room was ready -they provide scooter service for a good price, the owner, I think was Marco (?) was really friendly and helpful -Excellent housekeeping service

-unfortunately, the AIRCO in our room wasn't working, I informed the Front Office but it was never repaired. Due to this reason, our room was extremely hot -in order to reach the hotel you need to go up and down many stairs every time -the furniture in our room were not the best as the drawers were smelling of old wood
