Hotel la Maggioressa is a beautiful & quaint hotel run by a very sweet family. If you wish to visit somewhere you feel more than just another guest this is the place. Franz - is a natural hotelier & has an exceptional amount of knowledge & time for guests to ensure they enjoy their visit. The bus stops right outside the hotel, allowing you to explore the island with ease. With many fantastic and nearby choices for food also. (The pool appears green but this is actually due to it’s temperature, fresh water circulates every morning and it’s is kept at a bath-like temperature & exceptionally clean as the water never stagnates)

I did not want to leave, one of the few holidays you wish was longer.

Absolutely fabulous accommodation. Less than 10 minutes to the seafront, and a bus stop right in front of the entrance with bus service running till very late. Very well organised, clean, and most importantly, with owners who really care about the quality of service they provide and make you feel at home from the very first minute. DO NOT miss the hot bath if you didn't intend to use it! Without question I would go again in the future, especially because such people who give their hearts into providing their guests with such an excellent experience, are hard to find these days, and inevitably have earned our hearts as well.

The lack of a small fridge inside the room (there is a communal one, with which we had no problem in terms of space with the rest tenants), but in general in Italy it is very rare to find a room with one. So this comment actually goes to all people in the tourist business across Italy. Guys! Come on...! Summer in the Mediterranean is not easy!!!

The location was great. After arriving at the port of Casamicciola there were a choice of 4 buses to the hotel (which had the bus stop just outside the door!) We were welcomed by Franco who was very hospitable and gave us a cool drink (I think we chose the hottest 3 days of the year) and who then accompanied us to our room which was on the top floor (there are no lifts here) that wasn’t a problem for us. Our room was small (but I had been in contact with the hotel previously and had been offered a bigger room but we had chosen the smaller one as there was air conditioning). It was fine we had everything we needed and the most important for us is the cleanliness, and in fact it was spotless with a balcony with a view to the sea. There is a thermal pool where we spent most of our time around (as the weather really was too hot for us to go out exploring which we had hoped to do) which was great but probably could be renovated a bit. But we liked it just the same. We had breakfast every morning and there was something for everyone, including a selection of homemade cakes and jams (which we both liked ). We had evening dinner on two occasions which we found ok but perhaps could be adapted a little but were well cooked using products from there own land. All in all we found the hotel to have been a good choice - you have to remember it is a 2 star hotel and in so being has everything and more to offer than some hotels with more stars. Thank you so much to you all at The Maggioressa .

Nothing really just the couple of things I mentioned above.

10/10 experience!!! It’s a nice little family hotel, father son and mother all work there, they go out of their way to make you feel as comfortable as possible. Both breakfast and diner is amazing in the hotel, with home made pastries as breakfast and delicious diner and wines. The pool after a long day of exploring the island was the cherry on top!! I normally don’t write reviews, but you guys need to know about how amazing my experience was!! Definitely my new favourite hotel

The service and staff were great and the included breakfast was not only ample but tasty. There was a bit of a downhill walk to get to town, and therefore an uphill walk to get to the hotel. However, the owner’s son and mother graciously transported both us and the couple we were traveling with from the port to the hotel on our arrival. I recall pretty views from the hotel, but since we only spent 1 night there of a 3 week trip, my memory of the room we stayed in is vague but I do remember that we enjoyed our stay.

Lovely Mediterranean terrace and gardens, with stunning views of the mountains. Also there is a great thermal swimming pool. The Staff are very friendly and hospitable - they were always considerate and helpful with information for visiting tourist sites. They allowed me a late checkout which was really nice. The cosy room had a TV and private bathroom. The hotel location is very peaceful and is about 10 minute walk from central Casamicciola on a slightly steep hill on the way to the hotel. There is also a bus stop outside the hotel. In central Casamicciola there are a couple of supermarkets, restaurants, coffee shops, more bus stops and the port for the ferry to Naples. Overall, I had a great time and this was excellent value for the price.

Great value hotel, walking distance from the port and with easy access by bus to the whole island. The whole family who run the hotel were very welcoming, friendly and amazingly helpful with advice throughout my stay there, with special thanks to Franz. Nothing is too much trouble whenever asked for anything. The hot spring pool was great and whole hotel was kept clean with daily room service and breakfast was simple but excellent every day (especially the cappuccino!🙂) Grazie molto for everything...I will definitely be back!

This is a wonderful family owned hotel. The father, his wife, and now their son Franz are just exceptional. Very genuine and caring people who could just not do enough to make our stay as wonderful as possible. There is a thermal pool. The hotel is set a little up the hill, with about a 10 minute walk down into town or buses if one prefers. Buses come back up pretty regularly. There is no lift if that is a problem for anyone and the rooms are spread out in all directions and at different levels. Highly recommended

Our experience at this hotel was excellent. The staff was very polite, smiling and willing to help us in everything (as a bonus they also speak English which, believe me, is rare in Italy). Our room was clean, bright, spacious and renovated with handmade local hand-painted tiles. The real poem was the balcony with a superb sea and mountain view, equipped with sunbeds. The breakfast was neat and well prepared, with their own jams and cakes. There is a free parking space included but there is a bus stop just in front of the hotel. The pool with the thermal water was very relaxing, although it would be nice to have a small renovation in the future.

Everything was more than perfect.

I loved my stay at this beautiful hotel. I'm very interested in architecture, and this hotel is simply stunning. It's very traditional and well-maintained. Family-run, their hospitality was exceptional! Breakfast was also delicious. (I never thought the best croissant of my life would have been in Italy!!) I would definitely love to return to Ischia, and would absolutely stay at this hotel again. I couldn't have asked for more. I was a solo traveller, too, so highly recommend it for this purpose, as well as for groups and families. It was amazing in every way.
