Hotel Internazionale in Ischia Town

Fillippo was the best! He was so accommodating with our stay needs, providing recommendations around the island, and so much more. I enjoyed the food, pool and the beautiful views. Will definitely be back!

The hotel is a little out of the way on the island. You can get there with line 5 in about 40 minutes but the wait can be very long and exhausting; one day I waited an hour. In fact I looked for alternatives in the following days and found a very steep route on the right but in a quarter of an hour you can get there under the aqueduct from where other more frequent lines depart. The positive thing about this hotel is the kindness and great hospitality of the owner who is also very patient and tolerant towards customers' inconveniences. I have an excellent memory of him and I think I will return, also given the very competitive prices with simple but clean and functional rooms.

Having just arrived back from a fabulous week I wanted to leave my honest review about this budget hotel. This is not a 5* resort nor does it pretend to be. It's an excellent family run budget hotel and I'd recommend and would love to return. We spent 5 nights in hectic Naples followed by 7 nights relaxing in Ischia at the hotel internazionale. First impressions: Having traveled by ferry then taxi we arrived tired and hungry and was met by Fillipo at the desk. He explained where our rooms were and what time food was. As no lunch was available he very kindly helped us order pizza which we were allowed to eat around the pool at the table. The hotel is in a lovely building I think probably built in the 50's with an eccentric mix of modern and vintage furniture and art throughout. Location: Located up in the hills the location is absolutely beautiful and very scenic/relaxing. Lots of gorgeous plants in the well kept garden. The hotel is very close to the bus stop approx a 2 min walk to 'nik' bar where you can buy tickets for the bus. No 6 takes you to the port where you can for buses anywhere or no 10 to the beach. There is a very small shop opposite the bus stop selling balls/ floats. A great supermarket is located another 5 min down the road (the food supermarket is down the stairs) My mother has limited mobility but found the roads absolutely accessible and could make the shops. Rooms Large rooms with comfortable beds , fantastic quality sheets and excellent shower. We paid extra for the air con as we needed it in the heat wave. Unfortunately there was no fridge or kettle which I would have liked. I would quite happily pay for an 'upgraded room' to have these facilities, rather than charge more for everyone to have them. No lifts in this hotel , however my mother found the first floor easy accessible. Pool Fantastic pool not heavily chlorinated we loved swimming in the healing pool. Always found somewhere to sit as plenty of longers available as it's a small hotel and no rush to get there in the morning. Food We stayed half board - Breakfast was delicious freshly cooked croissants with chocolate spread / jams. Fresh fruit and cake. Also self serve tea and coffee. Dinner felt like eating at a freinds family dinner table. Although not quite restaurant quality (or restaurant priced )it was freshly cooked and healthy. 2 courses followed by fresh fruit or the occasional cake. The food felt authentic Italian and for the price we enjoyed it and definitely helped keep the cost of the holiday down. Would I recommend : absolutely YES!

This has truly been the most relaxed and beautiful holiday we have ever had, thanks to Filippo and his amazing family. The hotel is absolutely stunning with beautiful views from every point. Run by a very friendly family, it gives the feeling of a hotel with the warmest welcome of a friend. Filippo was such an amazing host who works so hard to ensure that the hotel is run efficiently and that everyone has a lovely holiday. We stayed for 10 nights/ 11 days and in all that time. Every member of staff was so helpful and friendly. Filippo worked constantly from early morning till late at night every day - I'm amazed by his energy and commitment and he does an outstanding job. Jacqueline, their dog, was such a cute and friendly dog who added to the fun of the trip. The hotel is really well located - a regular Line 6 bus goes directly from the Port to the hotel (a 3 min walk from hotel to the bus stop). The odd bus didn't arrive but that's no different to what we're used to at home or in any other European country. We got weekly bus tickets (there were 7 of us - 2 parents, 5 teenagers) and this was great as we were able to hop on and off buses easily. The pool was the nicest one we've ever been in. No chlorine and it was a thermal heated pool so it was lovely and warm all the time. Lots of sun beds, seats, tables and umbrellas were available so no rush to find beds like at other hotels we'd been at before. The food at the hotel was really good. Authentic home cooked Italian food - all prepared in the hotel and grown in their garden. A choice of two options for starters, a choice of two options for main course (also a buffet of several different vegetable options) and fruit / tiramisu for dessert. Breakfast was freshly baked croissants, bread, rice crispies and coffee/tea/juice.Myself and one of the teenagers are gluten free and each day there were options provided for us for each dinner course and we were also able to put our gluten free food (including yogurt, fruit etc) into a cold storage room so we could eat our own gluten free food for breakfast. Ischia is just stunning. It can be a busy holiday or a complete break away from everything. We had a bit of both. The ferry over and hydrofoil back to Napoli was great. We also went to the Castle which was stunning (food in the cafe was fantastic and reasonable) and swam in the sea below. We went to the thermal springs at Sorgeto which was amazing (a long and steep walk down and back up so not for those with accessibility issues), Maronti beach (Line 10 bus), zip line/Ischia Forest Adventure Park (5 mins walk from the hotel), Ischia Ponte, Ischia Porto and beach, there's good shopping area off the streets at the Porto , Nik's Bar - a great and friendly bar near the hotel that we would often go to at night (do try the Ruccolino and Piperna local drinks). There's lots more to do but we combined chilling at the pool with some trips and it was just perfect. We'd all love to go
