The words of praise of previous reviews are all true as regards the excellent host, splendid breakfast, drinking water available, breathtaking views from the terrace, clean and tidy rooms. The location is absolutely perfect for those who prefer a calm charming place to a vivid city with shops and restaurants and rich nightlife. There are a few restaurants close to the beach (5 min), but a supermarket (Carrefour) is 15 min uphill - less convenient. We appreciated the beach was empty in the mornings and evenings and made of tiny stones easy to clean. Great for hikers: We enjoyed a trip to the highest mountain Monte Epomeo (3 hours, good restaurant on the top), an ancient thermal bath Cavascura (15 min, package with mud treatment for 35 euro) and astonishing natural thermal bath Sorgeto (75 min walk, ) where hot water comes directly to the sea (best before breakfast, before it gets crowded).

Mosquitos, but the room was equipped with a Raid plug-in. No supermarket in the proximity.

1: The view from this place is simply amazing. That was pure experience to eat the breakfast at the terrace. I had to occupy my balcony every evening and morning, because I didn't want to waste any moment with these view. Breakfast was really good, I enjoyed this still warm bread everyday! 2: If you want to reach this nice place it's obvious you have to like walking, and that's not a secret. I do, so that was no problem for me. I knew that, so I took backpack, not the suitcase, and that was good move. If you think you'll have a lot of shops here downstairs - no, you have to walk. And remember: walking is good for your health, so just do it! 3. People are extremely nice. First morning I had a fresh herbs cut especially for me to put in hot water, that was really awesome. The staff is friendly, and really helpful. And smiling, that's always so nice to see, really. :-) 4. The other thing that isn't a secret: there are a lot of kitties. I'm a dog person, but I had a cat for 14 years, so that was like a mental therapy for me to spend some time with these wonderful creatures, and watch their funny behaviour from the morning till returning after exploring the Ischia island. 5. The wi-fi was really good, so I could work, and stay in touch with people I left at home, that was important for me, since I was traveling alone. 6. The room was clean, every day I had the bed made (better), even I did it myself. 7. Ischia is breathtaking. And the bus stop was close, so I really explore the island since I took weekly ticket, which I recommend for € saving! 8. The room was simply furnished, I would love to have the kettle and one more blanket or duvet here (I love to coccoon), but this little fridge was really great to have, and the clima made my stay really comfy. For me that was enough now. 9. Thank you all, good people from Casa Antonio, for my stay. It was really important trip for me, and I really enjoyed it because of your place. Take care! 10.

I would love a kettle, just to make the tea or coffee by myself when I want to (I'm night owl, and early bird too). :-)

Great location with incredible views and super friendly hosts. Incredibly charming B&B 5-minute away from Maronti Beach. Situated on a hill, this privately-run B&B, is the perfect place for those looking for a calm and relaxed place to stay. The view is absolutely stunning, with several possibilities to relax outside on the terraces (you are also being served breakfast here). The breakfast was small and simple, yet, absolutely delicious with homemade cakes, bread, jam and juices. I woke up everyday to an amazing and sunny view on the ocean from my bed and in the late evenings enjoyed homemade Limoncello on my balcony. The hosts were really laidback and welcoming, helping me with any questions. You’ve got several 50’s style restaurants with amazing food right at the beach. They also rent out sun beds. The beach is very clean and you can hear the ocean waves from your room. The bus runs every 20 minutes from Maronti beach, but you can also take a taxi. The closest supermarket is a 20-minute walk further up the hill. There is only a small trail up to the B&B which cannot be used by cars, so be prepared to walk up the hill everyday. Give the hosts a call on the day of arrival and they will transport your luggage up. Unless you have any mobility issues, the location should not be a problem.

Casa Antonio is peaceful, beautiful and welcoming. The views are amazing, the proximity to a cafe and beach is ideal, and the breakfast is delicious. Francesca is lovely and will answer all your questions (and also probably speaks your language!). She even made me a coffee at 5am on the day of our leaving, and her brother carried our case down to where our taxi was meeting us.

Some may struggle with the stairs to the property - but don’t let this deter you, it’s a small price to pay for the beautiful views the location provides.

Everything it was for 10+! The host it was extraordinar, the breakfeast very good! In every morning a new cookie made in house, the vegetables fresh and bio, eggs from their hens! The room perfect for 3 person, with a spectacular view on the sea, very cleaning, in every day the host clean the room, they change the shovels and the linen! The terrace were to spend time or to take dinner/drink a wine it was perfect! Francesca and his family it is a best host, very kind! Good location with silent! The way until the beach is during no more then 6 min! From the ferry cand be used the local bus no 5 to Maronti, the bus is stopped very near of location, until the bus station until location we made around 5-7 min walked. Kindly recommend the location for family or coople!

Nothing to say, just be armed that 4 min you have to climb but, when you arrive on location you will see the most spectacular view!

Breakfast nice balcony, great views, and breakfast

The hotel is wonderfully located just a short uphill walk from the beach and many brilliant beachside restaurants. The rooms all have a beautiful view overlooking the bay and the hotel is very secluded, so it is very quiet and peaceful at all times. The garden terrace (where you have breakfast) is particularly tranquil. The room was quite simple but is excellent value for the price you pay - the bed was comfortable and the view from the balcony was priceless. Our host, Francesca, couldn't have been more accommodating and was always on hand to make sure we were getting the most out of our stay. I can't recommend Casa Antonio highly enough.

Nothing

Lovely views and a great location close to the beach (walking distance). Truly lovely owners, helping and attentive, who made us feel at home and even provided home made gluten-free cake at the breakfast (which was also very tasty with a variety of home made products). Well functioning air condition, a tap with both still and sparkling water for anyone to use and a small fridge in the room. Cute cats hanging around.

The steep hill to the accomodation is quite tough, especially on warm days. They, however, offer help with the luggage with a transporter if you wish. The views make the climb worth it though. Quite a long/steep walk to the closest supermarket as well.

We enjoyed a lovely week at Casa Antonio and couldn't have asked for anything better. Location: It is a peaceful and tranquil family run B&B high up above Maronti bay, a busy long stretch of beach. We took the number 5 bus from Ischia Port straight to Maronti - very cheap- packed with locals. :) It is not an easy climb to get up there, this was fine with us as we are both active. It's only accessible by foot so consider this, however Francesca's brother kindly bought our cases up on his machine! The views are excellent, like a reward after the climb! The rooms are simple and spotlessly clean. Cleaned and sheets changed daily, amazing. Eating out along Maronti beach can be expensive, so we hiked a little up the mountain to the nearest Carrefour to get some food. It was only about 20 mins, a challenge if you are not used to walking in the heat but amazing views once you are up there and downhill all the way home! Breakfast is super, fresh fruit and veg from their garden, and the best streusel cake we have ever had. Eggs from their hens and freshly brewed coffee at your request. Dairy free alternatives were available too. Beach umbrellas are available for guests, this saved us a huge amount of money, the hireable beach chairs from beach vendors are expensive. Francesca and her family are kind and helpful, very accommodating. The cats are lovely. The best bit is how quiet it is, this is not a party hotel. It is for unwinding, relaxing and taking in the scenery. Perfect!

I’ve stayed in a lot of amazing hotels around the world but Casa Antonio just might be my favourite. The rooms are clean and comfy, the hosts are lovely, the breakfast is homemade and a delight - and the view! The view is incredible. But best of all are the seven cats who live there. I didn’t want to leave and hope we can return in the future. The ascent up the hill is not suitable for people with mobility issues unfortunately, but otherwise it’s absolutely worth it for such a wonderful stay.
