Aragona Palace Hotel & Spa

We had such a wonderful stay at the Aragona Palace in Ischia that my partner, who does not care for leaving feedback, agreed we must leave a positive review for the Aragona staff. Of course the location, right by the port as you get off the ferry, was a primary consideration when booking. Personally, I did not have high hopes for the hotel as I expected it to be dated and on the basic side, but it had authentic old world charm and was simple and unfussy in the way that most of the best things in life are. The views from the multi-terraced pool decks are some of the most beautiful over the harbour. The rooms were pristine and when we asked for extra towels it arrived within minutes. The crown jewel of Aragona is its staff who became like friends in our 4 days here. Jelena and Kiara (pardon if I got that wrong as I’m not sure of the spelling) were the persons we dealt with most often. All beautiful and incredibly helpful assisting with things like the best restaurants, bank directions and how to send a parcel in Italy to catering to my requests for a vegan breakfast. Also a special mention goes to Martina, the wonderful chef and the other young bartender. I’m sad to leave in part because of these wonderful Ischians. If there are any improvements I can suggest for future guests it would be to perhaps have a bit more fruit at the buffet and a vegan milk or vegan yoghurt for the granola. Otherwise if you like pastries, there is not a variety of pastry they do not have. Thank you, you were all fantastic!

The location is ideal because it is nest to the Port. It is an easy walk after departing the ferry. The personnel are quite friendly and will assist you with your questions. I have stayed here 2 years in a row and if I return, I will stay again. It is an understated hotel that is most comfortable and convenient. The breakfast is expansive. Although I did not prefer some of the items, there was always enough choices to create a meal of your liking. Spa services are excellent. The pool although small has a great view of the marina. The pool was never crowded either year.

The location was 5 minutes to the port and as soon as you walk out the door, all your restaurants are right there. The view from the room was gorgeous and the staff are super nice. The rooms are clean and there was a variety for breakfast. No complaints! I will book this property again next May.

The location is superb, facing the port/harbour, so in the very centre close to all shops and restaurants, as well as boats if you wish to take a trip around the island or to other islands around. We had a room with a terrace on the top floor with a fantastic view of the harbour. The hotel is also close to the Aragonese Castle built on a small tidal island connected by a causeway. It has a pool with thermal water and a lovely area around it on three levels with enough sunbeds, but the two levels above are not well taken care of. It's a pity. The spa was great and I recommend an anti-aging facial. And if you wish to swim in the sea, in addition to several public beaches close by, you can take a taxi that will take you to Giardino Eden, a beach club about 10 minutes from the hotel. It offers sea access, pools and restaurants. The staff was very friendly and helpful.

The property is in an excellent location close to the harbour. The staff without exception were friendly, polite and professional. The roof terrace was a very pleasant surprise, it just keeps going up and up the hillside and the views are wonderful. Breakfast was of a very good quality with a plentiful choice. The building is also very solidly built, which made for an excellent sleep - you could not hear the people in other rooms or corridors.
