Pros +
- Is was different and surrounded by the sea. It was difficult walking to and from room as the elevator was only partial.
- The views were amazing! Breakfast was amazing! The staff was amazing!
- The staff were outstanding and the team made us feel very welcome.The hospitality and atmosphere was fantastic and the hotel is very elegant and fascinating historical location.
Cons -
- The steps and long walk just to leave or enter hotel.
- No. The rooms were simple, but the terrace outside our room was amazing.
- The only caveats to be aware of the ocean conditions because you may get stuck on the island if you book one of the hydrofoils so be prepared to switch to one of the bigger ferries which move a lot slower. Additionally, taxis that are not in the main area are basically non-existent. So stick to the bus routes that are busy and don't get off until you get to the busy destination you plan on getting to. The monastery itself amazing. The only issue we had was that the AC was not working but we went in the late fall so it didn't bother me

Clean/safe/amazing view/fantastic food!
What else can i say but you are literally staying in a former monastery on a secluded section of ischia. You overlook a good portion of the sorrounding area. We did this as a splurge and it was 100% worth it. If you have the opportunity of staying here then I highly recommend it. The room was amazing. The view was even more amazing and the breakfast overlooking the ocean and the island amazing.

Amazing location on a rock off the eastern tip of Ischia, high up with great views of the island from all rooms. Il Monastero is a treasure, very friendly staff, great breakfast and excellent food at the restaurant and the adjacent cafe. A highlight are the gardens that provide comfortable spaces to hang as well as food and wine for the restaurant. Highly recommended.
As could be expected in a convent: most rooms are relatively small, there are a few bigger rooms though, worth the extra price.
This is an incredibly beautiful and unique property. How often do you get to stay in an actual castle? The views were amazing. Great breakfast. Kind and helpful staff. Clean and well kept. Staying includes free admission for a castle visit. 3
The castle is across a bridge from the main square and it takes a bit of time to get up the castle and to your room (you have to go up a long elevator and then up more stairs). Worth it, but could be a problem if you have mobility issues. The rooms are a little bit small and the "window" is double glass doors that open onto a patio that is used by other people (just FYI).
Our favorite hotel on our trip to Campania/Amalfi! Simple beauty, historic character, relaxing, friendly and helpful staff, delicious food, lovely seating areas (be sure to ask the way to the hotel private gardens), stunning views abound. Our bedroom was spotlessly clean, comfortable bed, WiFi worked well. It opened directly onto the common terrace where we could sit and read or have a drink before dinner, with gorgeous views over the sea.We managed to get a reservation at the on-site dinner restaurant with a choice of tasting menus. It was a highlight of our trip.Short walk into the town of Ischia Port, across a historic stone causeway. So much character!Taxi EUR 20 to the hotel from Ischia Porto ferry (agree the price in advance) Not in any way a criticism, but realize that in a historic castle like this, there are stone stairs and cobblestone paths everywhere - all uneven surfaces. You are always going up and down, part of the charm. A lift takes you part of the way up from the bottom.We would love to return!! Three nights was too short!!
Everything was perfect!
The location and facilities were outstanding. The Atlana suite was beautiful and elegant but not fussy. We stayed with another couple and it was perfect for 2 couples.
Great breakfast!
There is an elevator, but there are stairs you can's avoid when going to your room. It's not accessible for people with mobility difficulties.
This property is absolutely world class, exceptional, unique experience. In 35 years of travel I’ve ever stayed anywhere like it. If you value authenticity, uniqueness, and singularity over having a TV and every creature comfort, this is the place for you.
There’s not a single thing I did not like about the property
The location, the staff, the food. Everything
Unique experience, amazing views, delicious breakfast, friendly staff. Would stay again!
Everyone who worked here was so incredibly kind!! The staff was amazing and the LOCATION!! We were nervous the castle would be busy or super touristy but that wasn’t the case at all. We visited in late August and it felt like we were the only ones there. The castle is absolutely gorgeous and has so many fun hidden spots within it - galleries, art studios, gardens, terraces, food spots, and of course, take your breath away views at every angle. It was also so nice to be in the heart of Ischia Ponte and everything it has to offer. Oh and breakfast is delicious :) Absolutely recommend!!
the location is amazing - inside a medieval castle. the whole vibe is super relaxed but also comfortable, nothing is too much trouble for the staff.
I liked everything!
Great breakfast. Fantastic Views.We also enjoyed the complementary tour with the hotel.
Brining our luggage's from the main island to the hotel island
Absolutely breathtaking views as well as grounds at the property. The cafe was amazing with great coffee, food and cocktails. Breakfast each morning was so fresh and delicious.
Would have preferred the main restaurant offered an a la carte menu for dinner.
Absolutely beautiful quiet calming place to stay. Amazing breakfast Staff great
Architecture, decoration, history, ambiance, food.
