Hotel Continental Mare

We have just spent a week at this sensational hotel. The photographs don't do it justice. Everything is perfect from the reception, restaurant, outside areas, bedrooms and pools. As for the view from the restaurant . Magnificent. The staff are all wonderful. So professional and very well dressed. Friendly and very helpful. I am not going to mention names. Or I am bound to leave someone out. Everything is so tastefully done. From the hand painted floral tiles to the beautiful lounge area, all decked out in yellow.. I was impressed with the restaurant, glass tables with sea themed condiment sets. Beautiful orchids on every table. Even see through chairs. So nothing blocked the magnificent view. As for the food. Amazing dinners every night. Always beautifully presented. My compliments to the chefs. Would I go back there? You betcha, tomorrow if I could. It is in a very peaceful setting. There is even a short cut down to the town . A bit steep for part of the way back. I just about managed it with the help of the handrail. ((I wish I was 43 instead of 73. ) The bedroom was spotless. Lovely clean towels every day. Everything so fresh and inviting. Plenty of hot water for a shower. We had a lovely ground floor room , with a terrace. It overlooked the very well kept gardens, and had a wonderful sea view. Now if you think I am going on a bit, I really don't mind. One of the best hotels I have ever stayed in. Loved it. Any negatives? Not at all. But for me, I would have preferred dinner earlier than 7.30. But I know from being within an Italian family, they do eat later than us Brits. Just go there and see for yourselves. You will not be disappointed.

This hotel in ischia is absolutely the ultimate place to stay!! We stay here twice a year it’s fantastic!! The staff are all so helpful and friendly they can’t do enough for you!! Rooms are lovely spotlessly clean and views right over the med. We wouldn’t stay anywhere else on ischia It’s the best of the best Highly recommended .

A lovely hotel on a steep cliff that grants you amazing views from just about everywhere. A hotel that knows its strengths and maintains them . If you’re after a shiny corporate affair this isn’t for you , if however you like places with character and high standards then do go . The gardens and setting are beautiful the rooms comfortable and staff friendly but professional. An enjoyable week spent on a really beautiful island.

The hotel itself is really nice and staff had been great up until we got lunch here for the first time today. It’s a bit of a walk down to the town so we said we’d stay here for lunch for a change. I ordered a pizza and my partner ordered prawns and calamari. Unfortunately the pizza was not fresh and it was unlike any pizza I’d gotten on the holiday. It resembled a frozen pizza from a supermarket. My partners prawns and calamari were nice though he received crisps with it as opposed to chips. Nonetheless, it was still nice. The thing that bothered me about the experience was that while it was clear I ate none of the pizza, no one came over to ask whether everything was okay or if I wanted something else instead etc. My partner waited for a further 10 minutes and still no one came over although there was still a full pizza left on the table. Not great service when we are staying here 5 nights :( the mistake could have been easily fixed had they taken it off the bill or offered something else instead. Overall, the hotel is nice and we’ve loved the pools, it was just a pity how they handled lunch considering none of mine was eaten.

Our room, 110, was beautiful, very clean. Spacious balcony overlooking the gardens, pool and bay. Food was excellent, 4 course dinner, different menu every night. We did half board. Great breakfast. Dining well run by Vittorio, all staff friendly and courteous. Reception staff were very helpful, special mention to Valentina and Antonio (Jack Grealish) in maintenance . Stand out feature were the 2 thermal pools. Very warm, clean. Great not to have them polluted with chlorine. The upper pool had 4 cabanas available. Very relaxing. Walkable into Port Ischia along the back path. Bus back to the hotel. Highly recommended. Worth its 4 star rating.

Just spent 10 days at this wonderful friendly hotel it’s our favourite place on ischia! Food is excellent Vittorio Michaele and all restaurant staff bend over backwards to make your stay enjoyable. Also the reception staff Linda, Roberta, giavanna and Valentina are all so kind and helpful. This hotel is exceptional as are the staff a fabulous stay
