Nothing

Absolutely everything was fantastic. The location is great, with an amazing view over Sant'Angelo from the terrace. The owner and staff are genuinely nice people, which made our stay pleasant and comfortable. The hotel is clean and bright. I highly recommend having at least one, if not more, dinners at Villa Maria; the quality of the menu is excellent. In short, you can stay here without any hesitation. If we will visit Samt Angelo again we would stay here again.

No WiFi signal in the room.

Beautiful family run Villa / hotel. Located on a perch overlooking Sant’Angelo and so close to stroll into the town to shop, and eat. And not far to walk to nice beaches. The staff were so friendly and helpful. The breakfast on the patio overlooking the sea was so lovely - and they make a delicious cappuccino.

We liked everything

Villa Maria is the best place we have stayed in Italy for many years! A lovely family hotel, great food, amazing views and warm atmosphere. We felt very much like home and will definitely come back here again. All the best recommendations from us

The bed was a little too firm for us, but it wouldn’t stop us from returning for another stay.

Beautiful dining terrace for breakfast and dinner. Don’t miss dinner, it’s better than any of the restaurants you’ll find in town. Well situated to walk to town or to the beaches to the east. You’ll get your steps in!

Organise a porter for your luggage before arriving at the accomodation. We unfortunately were not aware and it was difficult getting everything uphill.

I loved Villa Maria. If you are searching for a laid back and authentic experience - this is the place. We stayed with our toddler and the hotel is very family friendly. The terrace is a great way to start and finish your day after exploring Sant Angelo. The dinners are excellent value for money - food which is grown in their own garden and fresh seafood. I would highly recommend and stay again.

Absolutely nothing.

There’s not enough space to write everything we loved about Villa Maria. The family that run the hotel are so welcoming, the food was amazing, the view was beautiful. The room was spacious and comfortable, equip with everything you’d need for your stay. We couldn’t recommend Villa Maria enough.

From start to finish, everything was truly outstanding. The dinner was excellent, the view was stunning, and what made our experience truly special was the way the family-staff treated us, like we were part of their own family. The warm and welcoming atmosphere created by them made our stay feel not just comfortable but also incredibly personal. It's rare to find such genuine hospitality, and it made our time at their place truly memorable. It was, by far, the best experience we've had at any hotel we've visited so far.

The WIFI connection in my room wasn't that great (it would disconnect a few times a night).

I really really enjoyed my stay at Villa Maria! The hotel was about 10 minutes walk from the bus station (you could either walk up the stairs from the town area or hire an electric car if you have a lot of luggage). My room was on the second floor with a balcony area shared with other rooms on the same floor. The view from the balcony/hotel was absolutely stunning. There were also some sun lounge chairs on the balcony for guests to use and areas to hang your washing/clothes. As the hotel was quite high up the hill, it was really breezy which was nice. The hotel is family-run, and everyone there was really nice and friendly. They'd always meet you with a smile, and have your needs met! Have I mentioned about the food? Well, the food at the hotel was really really good!! I didn't plan to, but I ended up having all my dinners at the hotel as the food was so good (I think I had three plates of starters one night). I would say it was the best food I had had during my entire stay in Italy. I also did some yoga lessons with Sabrina, which took place on the roof terrace of the hotel. Listening to the sounds of the waves, overlooking the ocean and coastline, what could be a better setting for yoga practice/meditation than this? As it was my first time doing yoga, Sabrina really made sure the lessons were suited to my level/needs. She was really flexible with the timing of the lessons too. It was such a good first experience of yoga, thank you so much!

Pillows were very hard. Although it is personal preference, my partner did not mind. It would be good to have a couple of glasses and a corkscrew in the room. We had to go to the reception to borrow one.

Staff was lovely. The views were beautiful. Room was not huge but it had everything that was needed. There was also a very cute resident cat that sometimes came to say hello!

It’s perfectly located, with a surreal view of the sea. The room was spacious and comfortable. The staff is warm and accommodating. The breakfast was just enough. We would definitely come back, and we will miss it when we leave.

absolutely gorgeous villa, wonderful staff, everyone was very helpful for our first visit to Ischia. I highly recommend staying here and will be back. The most relaxing part of our trip to Italy has been staying at Villa Maria. Wonderful yoga teacher available for group and private classes too. the most exquisite yoga studio in Italy.

The rooms had a cooking option facilities built in, however no utensils or cooking implemets. It would have been nice to have that option.

Love the view and the position. The staff were fantastic, helpful and kind. Breakfast was a lovely spread. Evening meal spread was fantastic with the sunset and all the food prepared from the garden.

Nothing to complain about! :) Only thing it’s a lot of stairs/long distance from room to breakfast/reception so just gave that in mind if you have a stroller/hard time walking.

Lovely staff, cute rooms and amazing terrace and view! Loved the breakfast!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this gem of a hotel, what I appreciate the most is the hospitality and attention to detail of the host. Since this is a family run hotel, u actually feel like family. So much warmth and kindness really sets them apart. Food is on another level, we ate almost everyday from hotel and loved it.

Beds, as in mattresses definitely - they are very firm. And if I was being super critical desserts always left me a little underwhelmed (but by the time I got to dessert it was probably a good thing).

Hotel Villa Maria is third generation family owned and an absolute gem of a find if they can fit you in. The hotel is perched on a hill with incredible views and vista and positioned to get the sun all day. The family with staff run the hotel and they could not do more for you if they had tried. Incredibly accommodating and helpful from the time we got there to the time we left. Make sure you stay for dinner €30 (at time of writing) which included a buffet of starters which was the highlight - you could base your whole dinner on just the starters truth be told, but then there were three more courses to deal with - and they were also fantastic. Dinner was a shotgun start at 7:30pm which allows you take in the sunset and not miss out on the starters ( note - a lot of the vegetables are grown by the family. Also, dinner can be booked separately - you do not need to staying but it is nice to wander down from your hotel room after a day at the beach Breakfast was buffet European style and a 10/10 - pastries were superb and good coffee, heaps of fruit and cereals topped off with the amazing view to kickstart every morning The hotel have about 20 beach chairs on Maronite beach with a small cafe there as well - definitely worth a wander down to. There is a separate cost for the chairs. This was our second stay in Sant Angelo and we will definitely return to Villa Maria when we go back - people, view, food - we just relaxed - we even know what rooms we will be asking for ….

This was one of the best stays we have ever had!! My partner and I were on a 6 week europe holiday and villa maria was by far our favorite location. Firstly, THE VIEW is even better than the photos! Every morning we were blown away by the beautiful view as we enjoyed our breakfast. The room was gorgeous, we especially loved the spacious terrace where we enjoyed a glass of wine most evenings. We had read that the hotel put on a delicious dinner in their restaurant and that was absolutely true. We loved the dinner so much we ate at the hotel 4 out of our 5 nights and the antipasto appetizers is something we will be coming back for. The vegetables picked fresh from their garden daily made these meals some of the best we had on our entire trip. Lastly, the service of Gennaro and his family were what made this hotel so special. They were so kind to use during our entire stay and Genarro was so incredibly helpful in recommending day to day activities (he speaks excellent English!!). We loved this place so much, it felt like our home away from home and we are already planning our next return!

Everything about our stay at Hotel Villa Maria was absolutely perfect! We felt right at home from the moment we entered. The family that owns and runs it make you feel like part of the family. The food is delicious, the view is spectacular, the people are lovely. Special thanks to the son, Gennaro who speaks English very well and made us feel so welcome in his beautiful world.

The best holidays ever! Beautiful and cosy hotel with very pleasant and helpful owners. We had a feeling of family visit. The room was huge and there was enough place for 4 persons. Also we had a big terrace with a table and chairs. The bathroom was also rather big. Breakfast are gorgeous!!! A lot of tasty and delicious things! Mozzarella here is amazing! Better than in the different city restaurace. The beach is 15 minutes to walk down from the hill. 2 Sunbeds and umbrella cost 10-15€ per day depending on the line.

The only reason I am giving a 9 instead of a 10 is getting to the property. We arrived by bus to Sant'Angelo from Ischia Porto and were quoted €15 to the hotel from the terminal in a permitted golf buggy... too much Google maps was very confused when walking us there. There really needs to be a sign pointing left to 'Villa Maria', up the slope - at the base of the transport piazza... we ended up walking all the way round the back and round...

A family run hotel - 2 particular members absolutely amazing - Gennaro and Carmella - thank you so much for your warmth, help and advice, it was so much appreciated.💗 The situation is fabulous; a dining terrace with far-reaching views out to sea for enjoying your scrumptious evening meals and abundant breakfasts. I would totally recommend taking the meal of the day option for an amazing value €30 pp. We did this for our 3 night stay. All 3 nights did not disappoint... the help yourself antipasti was to absolutely die for...💗💗 We could not afford the rooms adjoining the hotel, but were in a separate house further up the hill, which was very quiet and peaceful.

Unbelievable place. 100 percent recommend staying here in Ischia. Beautiful view, very close to the main town, fantastic breakfast and the most delightful staff.
