Great location and friendly staff. Both the hotel restaurant and the neighbouring pirate restaurant have extensive menus. Lovely island.

Management is not on site. They were unable to check us in late and we arrived with no place to stay.

We loved our stay in this ! It’s a true little paradise. Very cosy, clean and calm. Very friendly staff and family atmosphere. Total silence in the night. Nice beach with excellent restaurant, really delicious and not expensive. The best way to reach the town - 5 min of taxi-boat - real fun!

Da Maria is a lovely hotel, set right on the sea. Accessible by water taxi (or a slog over the hill) and with lovely views over the bay and the Aragona Castle. Room was a sea-view double aspect, with a balcony; shutters and insect screen on the french doors. Breakfast was usual - bread, jams, cereals, yoghurts, cheese/hams, juices and coffee. Restaurant was ok, food generic Italian, wine cheap but local and good. Prices seem to alter according to who served you!

Very clean with lovely staff. Room ok. Good breakfast. Little bit too much off the beaten track for us.

We attended for a week and had an amazing time. The hotel was spotlessly clean, staff were very attentive and friendly.. even though not everyone spoke English and we did not speak much Italian, it was not an issue, we got by and it worked well.Food in the restaurant was delicious and would recommend.The beach was busy but that was only to be expected for the location.Yes there are stairs but that adds to the charm of the location. Loved this place

Gorgeous views, clean rooms, private beach, delicious food at their restaurant, quiet and relaxing. Staff is hardworking, helpful and wonderful. Truly enjoyed our stay.

We had a very enjoyable stay in Albergo da Maria. Loved the location on the beach and hearing the waves lapping at night. The hotel restaurant served delicious home cooked meals and it was easy to take the water taxi to Ischia Ponte for a good variety of cafes and restaurants. Service at the hotel was excellent. The only drawbacks to a comfortable stay were the lack of air-conditioning and the toilet being in the shower enclosure. Regardless of this we would love to return.

Was a highlight of our Italy trip. Was mostly Italians holidaying there unlike Capri with a personal feel to it. Lovely part of the world

amazing

Location is amazing. Service is poor. No help with luggage down the mountain. Only reason to stay is the location. NO AC.

We spent two weeks here and have no complaints at all. The staff were lovely, especially Dorata at breakfast who catered for my need for high fibre food, and Onofrio on reception. The room was lovely and clean with air conditioning and we had a large private courtyard with views of Vesuvius. However, be warned if you are not good with lots of steps this is not the place for you. We actually saw this as a good way to keep up our fitness levels and an excuse to treat ourselves to lots of the lovely gelato available everywhere on the island!

Arrived by Boat Taxi to Da Maria to find every single member of staff friendly and accommodating. The Italian passion for life shone through, even if it was a bit animated at times. Recommend to anyone looking for a chillout break.

Our motivation for this trip was to get away from city life, switch off and relax. I choose this hotel due to picturesque location, remote but yet accessible. 1 hour from Naples on ferry for approx £10 each, a bus for 10 mins at €2 and then water taxi (motorised boat) for €5 gets you here. Its absolutely beautiful. Apart from crashing waves below ( which I find therapeutic) at the top of the hotel you literaly cant hear a sound. Food was good- we ate an evening meal here and breakfast was included. Staff could not have been friendlier and pool, surrounding gardens are immaculate. If you want a party, go elsewhere. If you want sheer relaxation and to find yourself....come here. You can get taxi boat over and back daily for €4 per person to main port.Tip- Buy some beers when you arrive in port from supermarket for your fridge so you can sit on terrace and sip without facing 100 steep steps down to beach bar everytime you want a drink !

Superb views overlooking the sea. Very kind and helpful owners and staff. Delicious Italian food in the restaurant.

A lovely hotel with great views, delicious food and the friendliest of staff. We had an amazing week here.

You arrive on a water taxi which takes you around the harbour past the Castle de Aragione, alternatively you can get a bus and take a walk, about 800 metres and down some quite steep steps so if the weather is dry & calm arriving on the water is perfect. Never done that before. The staff are very helpful. Food is excellent. Location also excellent with beautiful views out to sea from pretty much every room. The terraced areas and pool are tranquil and lovely places to spend time relaxing and reading; drinks are available all day from the bar in the restaurant (which is open for lunch & dinner.) There is a separate breakfast room. Again, beautiful views out to sea from every window in the restaurant. The wifi is only available in the reception/lobby area and breakfast room. It doesnt seem to work in the bedrooms or the terraced areas. This could easily be rectified.TV in room only has 1 English channel which is the 24 hour BBC news but we found this enough as weather was good and didnt spend too much time in the room. Bathrooms are the biggest drawback and need to be sorted out. The shower area has a curtain to pull across but also has the WC in same area. All very small but with a little re-arrangement you could separate the shower area from the WC and reduce the size of the wash hand basin to make room. Having said that it didnt reduce my enjoyment but a better bathroom would have been more appealing. They are all the same as we were shown another room.

Had a really lovely stay at Da Maria, we arrived via taxi and walked down the stairs (you cant get taken directly to the door) and enjoyed it from the start. The beach was great, the pool was always quiet and calm. Room was clean and cool, we were worried wed be hot at night but was fine. Staff were very friendly. We chose to walk to Ischia Ponte (about a 25 minute walk) but they also provide a water taxi for about 4 euros i think. The restaurant was lovely, we enjoyed the peaches in wine and the seafood was delicious. Would recommend staying here, lovely hotel, great island with beautiful views.

The family and staff are lovely The let down is that the rooms do not even have fans or a fridge!I was aware of no a/c but not to have the above led to a very uncomfortable stay and these items are little to ask in a beach hotel in a hot climate.In addition , there is a daily charge for the water taxi which really should be absorbed by the hotel and provided as a free shuttle as with many hotels I`ve stayed in as a courtesy to the guests as the hotel is quite remotely located which is after all part of it`s charm.

Fantastic Italian food , peace and quiet, secluded. Only reachable by boat.
