Albergo Il Monastero

The castle and the hotel are by far the nicest places on a ‘not so beautiful’ island. The hotel staff is without an exception extremely friendly and helpful! The setting and views are unique.

Ristorante il Monastero. We had dinner at the restaurant in late May. Got there at 7 and loved the aperitivo on the terrace, you won’t find more beautiful location on the island; the view, the actual Monastery, the set up. The room inside was equally lovely, excellent decor. Gracious staff, kind and helpful. Their produce is locally sourced, there’s a vegetable garden up on the Castle. There’s a choice of 3 pre-set 5 course menus; we liked out food very much, fresh fish and great desserts. However, we sat at the table at 8 and left -rather impatiently- at 11, an unacceptable lengthy wait between courses. Will try again.

This is one of the best hotels we've ever stayed in - and fantastic value. The setting is unbelievable, its like you have your own castle! The rooms are simple but spotless and beautifully furnished, the staff are so friendly and helpful, and the food (breakfast and the tasting menu) was absolutely delicious and so carefully thought through. It absolutely made our trip to Ischia.

I have stayed at many luxury hotels around the world and can say that this hotel is exceptional. The location is superb with excellent views, the staff is exceedingly helpful, and the restaurant with its tasting menu is out of this world -- and worth every penny. There is a beautiful gift shop, peaceful private gardens just for hotel guests, and of course, the castle experience. The rooms are sparse, but pristine and tasteful. This is not a 3 star hotel - it is a 5 star hotel disguised as a 3 star hotel with 3 star hotel prices. You would be remiss not to stay here if you are visiting Ischia.

Everything is excellent at the monastero. The location, the view, the staff (all of them are very helpful), the breakfast, the rooms (these are small but you are staying at a former monastery), the paintings, you name it...

We went there just for the restaurant. Food is incredible! Best we had on our trip to Italy! Prices are reasonable for the quality you get and on top, you get an incredible view. The setting in the castle makes it one of the highlight of this island.

Absolutely the most incredible weekend getaway. The castle is so romantic and enchanting to stay in. The aesthetic is so charming, beachy but refined with original artwork on every wall . Very clean facilities!

The restaurant & service is absolutely 5 stars - they are very accommodative to food allergies - they even had a homemade GF bread that was delicious and a dinner course that was so divine and allergy conscious, the almond orange cake at the end was just unfair how off the charts yummy it was!

Just less than 10 minutes from the center of town, ~30 minutes from the port. No cars are allowed in the small row of streets leading up to the castle so it's just the most darling thing walking through a few charming streets to get to and from the castle.

And the fact that it included breakfast is such a steal. Staff extremely accommodating. If we are ever in the area, we will stay here! Cant say enough about how much we loved our stay!a

The location of this restaurant is without doubt one of the most unique and beautiful I have been to, with fantastic views over the harbour in Ischia Ponte. The service was impeccable and the waiter was very attentive, making sure to spoil me as it was my birthday. We had the 6 course tasting menu for €70 which I think was very good value considering the variety of dishes we had. I would highly recommend dining here as a special treat for anyone visiting Ischia. Grazie Mille
