It's a lovely, old-fashioned hotel that's not too big. Staff are all friendly, food is delicious, breakfast included, nothing too much trouble. Fabulous view of the castle and sea. Walkable to Ischia Ponte, and the port (1/2 hour walk). Bus stop within a two-minute walk. Good beaches within reach.

The room was a little bit on the small side, and being near the road/public beach side a little bit noisey at times, but we still managed a good night's sleep. There isn't a pool (just two hot tubs on the roof) but you can use the pool at the neighbouring 'sister' hotel which is just across the road.

The hotel is charming old Italia. It isn't 5* but it is all relative. I think like most places in Italy/Europe it is really at most a 4* by modern international standards. The food is very good, drinks are good, hotel is very clean and relaxing. The staff were helpful to point out other places for us to visit, booking us beach clubs and taxi's to and from. The breakfast was delicious and the breakfast staff very accomodating.

It was unbearably humid when we visited. Not the hotels faults but the facilitates (outside of the room) didn't hold up well. I'd suggest they keep all the doors and windows closed next time and let the air con do its thing. It was almost impossible to relax around the breakfast or lunch areas as it was too hot (hence why we went to a beach club every day). The pool was also very warm so not refreshing.

Miramare e Castello is a beach resort in Ischia that was a welcome respite from the crowded Amalfi Coast. It's located in a perfect area to enjoy and explore the island which is the best kept secret in the Bay of Naples. This hotel has a spa (which we never used), private beach, small pool surrounded by cushioned seating and grand vistas of the sea and dramatic Castello Argonese. There is a rooftop restaurant and a convenient bar on the ground floor providing service when lounging on the beach chairs or by the pool. The breakfast area is bright and sunny with a terrace, attentive waitstaff and virtually anything available to eat or drink. The reception desk and staff were always very nice and helpful. This hotel is an easy stroll to a lovely street loaded with restaurants, trattorias and shops along a charming village that leads you right to the imposing castle entrance. There is a bus that takes you into Ischia Porto for ferries or to other buses that can take you all over the island. We had a room with a gorgeous sea view which was worth it, not really large but a decent size. The bathroom was large and open with a full tub/shower and windows overlooking the sea as well.

The wifi did not have the best reception. There was a large barrier type wall with an opening in between the bed area and windows- sitting in the area by the open windows the wifi was lost, internet was actually better on the beach. Unfortunately our toilet had flushing issues but staff attended to it immediately (on 2 occasions in 4 days). I do not know whether it was resolved after we left.

Room was a bit small but was clean and had everything that we needed. I stayed in a twin room with my son, but the double rooms was very roomy with huge bathrooms overlooking the sea. The rooftop jacuzzis were lovely and the view and breeze at the top of the hotel were amazing

I booked transfers through Booking.com which were cancelled the day before I travelled. I managed to get other transfers by ferry to the island but the wait was very long and the journey even longer. If I had known before, I would have got the hotel to book the transfers as they were cheaper and booked the hydrofoil which took half the time.

Boutique style hotel, ideal location, great staff. All public areas including the seafront restaurant, bar, pool, private beach were excellent. Overlooking the Aragon castle of Ischia and 2 minute walk to the restaurants and shops in Ischia Ponte. It is a 10 minute walk the other way to the start of the shops and restaurants in Ischia town center and about 20 – 25 minutes to the main Port and surrounding restaurants. The bus #7 passes the hotel every 10 -15 minutes and travels to the port.

Room was very small and over Main Street, very noisy overnight.

Firstly the staff were all so warm friendly and helpful. Best service. The location was incredible and we could not get enough of the magnificent view. Best spot in Ischia.

The shower went hot then cold non stop and I wish the tv was bigger with a few English channels.

This hotel is sublime ! From the view to the smell of the linens and towels. The location is fantastic and easy to get to a bus or the port. If you don’t stay here when you come to Ischia you are doing yourself a disservice ! The staff were also incredible !

Nothing ! Tutto Bene !

The hotel is classically beautiful and feels old school Italian. The location is terrific about a 7 minute walk to the castello aragonese and near a small number of shops and restaurant. Beautiful view from the terrace. The walk to the port and main town is a little further around 25 minute walk

Location is superb. Common areas are fantastic. The bar around the pool is just picture perfect, and the views are stunning. Rooms are relatively small, but the ones with views have lovely views. Breakfast was abundant, good.

Some of the staff did not seem very motivated doing their job at times. However most of them were very professional and very helpful, especially at the bar and at the beach. This is overall a lovely place to stay.

All the communal rooms were beautiful from the bar to the breakfast room. Stunning hotel with views of the castle and the sea. Outdoor facilities also great with superb views, sun decks with loungers and umbrellas, outdoor pool etc. First class service at all times.

Bathroom - shower was old and floor flooded after each use. Given room over Main Street - kept awake both nights - so so noisy.
