Nice clean authentic rooms, surrounded by beautiful well kept gardens. Massimo couldn't have been friendlier and more helpful throughout the whole stay, even offering to arrange pick up/ drop off from the port. He arranged a great deal for car hire whilst we were there and we enjoyed a few meals in his restaurant which were really delicious! We felt very spoilt and would recommend anyone to stay here without hesitation.

There was nothing I didn't like.

Max and his family were wonderful. The meals that he and his parents prepared were great as was the accommodation. The pool was clean and inviting and the whole ambiance of the place was fantastic. The gardens were spectacular and well maintained. I would certainly recommend this place to anyone wanting to stay on Ischia and would make it my first choice whenever I return to the island.

Nothing....it was superb

Everything about this Villa is perfection. Tucked away, it is peaceful, with beautifully maintained gardens, a lovely pool and privacy. The rooms are well equipped and comfortable, with air conditioning. The family are so welcoming and friendly you feel so looked after and cared for. The breakfast and optional evening meals are fabulous, would highly recommend dining here on an evening. Local bus stops and beaches are a short walk away, as are other bars and restaurants should you need them. Max and Maurizio were the perfect hosts, we had the best holiday.

Nothing.

The property, pool, gardens, location are fantastic. What really made our holiday was the kind family, Max, Mauricio and their incredible parents. They made the holiday. The food they produce every night is superb - an authentic delicious Italian meal using home grown and fresh produce. The homemade wine and Lemoncello are superb! The pool, surrounding area and views are excellent. Max and Mauricio helped us with transport, booking boat trips, bus routes, best places to visit and couldn’t have been more helpful. They went out of their way to make us (family of 3) all feel very welcome. Apartments are clean, comfortable and home from home. Location is superb and away from the busier centre of Forio although very close to supermarket and only 10-15 minutes to the centre and the beaches (Roads are busy and no pavements but that is across the whole island). We were very sad to leave - but looking forward to our next stay at this fantastic accommodation!

Loved it all

The property was centrally located in Forio near major sites and beaches. Plus the property Itself was beautiful- amazing grounds, pool, jacuzzi, and sauna.

some troubles with fridge and stove, unpractical shower control

delicious breakfast and dinner, nice garden with pool, kind personal, calm locality, near supermarket

Stayed in June 2023

A lot of small flies in the room because there is no net on the doors. Not really disturbing, but inestetic. The road from accomodation to beach is very narrow and you need to be careful while walking.We recommend renting a scooter - host can help you with that.

Very kind hosts ready to help you in any way possible. The best food from all restaurants tried during our stay on the island. Silence of the garden being apart of every main road, and having all the needed amenities like pool and jacuzzi. Room equipped with everything needed and cleaning done everyday.

could not find anything wrong with the property.

The host, Max, is very hospitable and kind and will help with anything that is within his control. helped us in planning our day around the island, helped book a 2 wheeler for us to travel around and most importantly, we reached the property at about 9:30 and he as very kind to offer us food at that time.

The location was slightly awkward so be prepared to pay for taxis - don't be fooled by Google maps as the residence is very close to Forio but the roads aren't the safest to walk on (esp at night) if you don't have a car/moped.

After our stay it is obvious why Villa Cristina has such amazing reviews - what a hidden gem! Our apartment was clean, charming and had everything we needed. The grounds themselves are absolutely stunning, the views of the mountain from the pool were just beautiful and so peaceful. I think the best part was the hospitality of our hosts, we only stayed one night for dinner but the food was incredible and the homemade wine was to die for, not to mention amazing value!

The road that you have to walk on to get to the bus stop or beach is a bit busy, but you soon realise it’s no different to any other road on the island!

It’s Max & his lovely parents that make this place what it is.. Nothing is too much trouble at all. 15 mins walk from the beach & town, bus stop 5 min walk. Food is delicious and best value you will find anywhere on the island. Mamma Christina’s tiramisu is just the best!

truly nothing— except having the week come to an end! So I will use this space to continue my positive comments. As I mentioned above we invited ; other folks to accompany us on our ride around the island. these were people we never knew before but with whose company we were able to enjoy by being at the villa. we would go back today!! So much more I could say!

Everything! the hosts are spectacular. the attention was phenomenal. The accommodation was a one bedroom apartment with a grocery store literally a 5 minute walk away. it was close to beaches. The breakfast was excellent and the dinners were cooked by the owners each night after discussing in the morning the plate for that evening. The setting is truly magnificent, peaceful, manicured and large. we essentially had our own pool as it was never crowded. the intimate outdoor (but covered) dining area was where you could always find Antonio and Cristina and their son Max. the word ‘No’ is not in their vocabulary. the accommodated all requests and made sure our journey around the beautiful island of Ischia was safe and enjoyable. each night we drank their homemade white wine, dipped our bread in their homemade olive oil and ate their garden vegetables that we could see directly in from of us as we dined. the apartment was fully functional. it was not small or overly sized but included a kitchenette and an outside table for afternoon snacks and a drink after a day of activities. max suggested to us 2 different beaches (actual sand beaches for those familiar with the usuals rocky beaches of Italy) and arranged a boat ride for us around the entire island. I’d write more hit the limit!

Nothing, when we had a problem it was sorted promptly. Our hob wouldn’t work when my son decided to cook one evening, Max and his dad sorted the issue straight away.

Peaceful and relaxing stay in beautiful, well kept grounds. Max and his family were friendly, accommodating and generous. They fed us well and cooked my sons something different if they didn’t fancy what was on offer. we had plenty of produce from the organic garden, which was a treat, wine from their on site vineyard and lemoncello made by the dad. Our apartment had a kitchen and fridge freezer (a god send) and air con. The apartment was clean and comfortable. There is a small supermarket 5 mins walk. The public beach is 10/15 minutes walk.

Nothing

Idyllic garden and pool, very convenient location, extremely friendly (and especially baby-friendly!) staff, very generous breakfast and extraordinarily good (and generous) dinners at their restaurant. In one word: a garden of Eden!

Stayed in July 2022

this is not the hosts’ fault but the road leading up to the hotel is dangerous when you travel by foot like we did.

This was a last minute booking but boy, did we found a slice of heaven! Villa Cristina is an amazing place to stay at. The swimming pool, the excellent (!!!) food, the spacious and clean rooms, the green surroundings, the friendly family (Massimiliano is a true polyglot) that made us feel welcome—everything was great. we will be back!

really clean and tidy places. Massimiliano and his brother were really friendly and helpfull. their parents did keep things in order at the backround. breakfast was very nice from top notch ingredients even for nordic taste. dinners were really lush and worth for the money. their self-made bianco is delishious

Nothing comes to mind.

The staff was exceptional! Run by a very nice family in a very comfortable environment. Nice roomy apartments, pool area excellent and the food was amazing. Takes 5 minutes to walk to the supermarket and 10 minutes to walk to the beach. Can't recommend enough.

Nothing could have been better, it was simply wonderful

From the moment we arrived to villa Christina we felt like we'd made friends for life. Our hosts were exceptionally kind and helpful, they went out of their way to make us feel welcome and special guests. We enjoyed everything about this place, the love our hosts put in the details of the food and the accommodation. All the facilities were perfect, the garden and the swimming pool area are very pretty and nicely keept, the apartment well equipped and everything we possibly could want and more. We can't wait to go back there!

Absolutely amazing stay. The room we had was gorgeous with a lovely outside space. Garden was sensational. Max and Christina were amazing and helped out with so many things. we will definitely be back.

Dinners were fantastic! The best meal we had during our vacation. Host was very hospitable. The location was great, very peaceful, and relaxing place to stay. The location was convenient for any trips across the island via the bus. There are many buses stopping at the bust station near the residence.

Stayed in September 2021

There was a great deal of attention to details such as quality linens and furniture in an immaculately clean, comfortable apartment set in a lush environment surrounded by trees, flowers and an organic garden used to prepare delicious fresh abundant meals. I also enjoyed a swim in a sparkling pool, the jacuzzi and sauna. A great place made better by exceptional hospitality.
