Amazing views and the property. Beautifully maintained with great attention to detail. Solid food choices on site from excellent breakfast to reasonably priced tasty specials at the café for lunch to superb dinner with the view. Comfortable beds. Guests receive tickets to visit the castle and gardens. Staff is very attentive and helpful.

The wifi in our room only worked in the bathroom.

The room was very nice and the location of the hotel was incredible. We had and awesome view of the water and the island. Breakfast with a view was also beautiful.

It would be great to have a mini fridge in the room but otherwise everything was perfect!

This is the most incredible place, by far the most amazing hotel I have ever stayed at. The hotel was beautifully and artfully decorated, the rooms were modern, elegant and simple. You can swim off the bridge that connects the hotel to the main island and it was amazing to go for morning swims there. The staff couldn’t be more friendly and helpful and the breakfast was amazing with bacon and eggs, Mediterranean cheese and meats, yoghurts, fruit, smoothies etc! The gardens were a secluded paradise

beautiful location, great staff & great food (they made sure I was taken care of with my gluten allergy).

Not sure it's a complaint but a feature. As the hotel is on its own rocky island down a long causeway, it was a fair distance from the centre of town.

This place was amazing. A 16th century monastery renovated to modern comforts. There was a lift up to the hotel, glorious walking tour around the semi-renovated castle grounds, a delightful breakfast and staff. Would highly recommend.

Maybe the pillows, but everything was superb.

An amazing place to stay in a beautiful historic part of the island. We loved the simple artistic aesthetics, the courteous helpful staff and the incredible vistas and array of picturesque interiors which utilised the ancient spaces.

Everything was great!

Beautiful! The breakfast was perfection and the cafe had everything we needed for meals and drinks with friends and family.

There was nothing we did not like. However, it is good to acknowledge that the hotel is on top of a hill and even though there is an elevator, some walking and steps are needed to get there.

Calm and serene atmosphere, minimalistic and clean room, beautiful views, great location, delicious food & wine and friendly staff. This hotel is really special! The AC worked well and bathroom was bigger than expected. Having breakfast on the terrace overlooking the sea and Ischia was a perfect way to start the day. Visiting the hotel garden and castle also highly recommended :)

Mattresses could be improved.

The location is exceptional. Staff was attentive and reacted in a timely manner to all requests. Breakfast was well balanced. Meals take place on a terrace overlooking the sea - fantastic view.

The location is fantastic, the setting is sublime and the staff is extremely polite and helpful. It was a very enjoyable stay.

The rooms were a little small but quite reasonable given they were part of a convent.

One of the most beautiful hotel grounds and location we have ever stayed at. Staff was truly wonderful.

Nothing. Truly perfect!

EVERYTHING!!! This was our favorite stay of our 1-month trip in Italy. The views, the staff, the ancient architecture, the dinner, truly a magical and memorable experience for my husband and me! Big shout out to Roberto and Fiorella and the rest of the kind staff at Albergo Il Monastero for being SO wonderful. Thank you for a perfect stay!

restaurant requires booking and there don’t appear to be enough tables for all guests so some inevitably have the long walk into town

location, monastic style, fantastic restaurant

Stayed in June 2023

I liked everything.

This was possibly one of the best parts of my trip to central Italy. The castle gardens are lovely and the views from the castle of the town below, spectacular. The breakfasts were divine. The food was gourmet and regional to Ischia. The staff were some of the kindest and most attentive people I have ever met.

Everything! Great service, amazing location and fantastic view from our room and the terrace. I don’t understand why the hotel is graded 3 stars, it is better than many 5 star hotels.

The bed. I really think that providing guests with a better mattress would really add a lot to the whole amazing experience

Location, amazing view of Ischia from the hotel. Very romantic experience, the cleanliness, super kind staff. It is a very unique hotel.

location was the easiest to get to, but it was fantastic.

it was challenging to get there. We knew that in advance so planned accordingly.

location could not be better, the butter and the castle were incredible. The staff were so nice and pampered us.

Air con wasn’t working so was a little difficult to sleep but didn’t ruin our experience

Unbelievably beautiful stay - the views from the sea view room were exceptional. Such a unique and luxurious experience. The hotel kitchen garden (only open to guests) was the highlight, gorgeous views as you walk around freshly grown produce and flowers. Tasting menu was well worth the money and breakfast was incredible. The lady who greeted us on reception was so welcoming, all the staff were exceptional. Wish we had stayed longer - definitely going back.

very little- maybe the breakfast could be imporved a little

Ffrom he moment we arrived at the gate of the castle we felt cared for and entered an idyllic sanctuary of beauty. the vegetable garden and the orchard were special areas of inspiration with their wonderful views [and plenty of convenient seats,too] Our personal tour around the castle by the attentive receptionist gave real insight into hte background and history of the castle and the monastery
