The staff at the front desk were very pleasant and accomodating. My sons favorite part of the trip was hanging out in the hotel lobby with Sophia who was very nice. The air conditioning worked great, but the shower is a bit small.

Lovely view & warm pool! Fab area near Castello Aragonese. Staff not very welcoming but loved Ischia

We stayed at Hotel Don Felipe for one night in August. It was a nice hotel, comfortable enough for our short stay. They had a small pool with a beautiful view, which was nice to swim in to escape the heat. The hotel was also about 20 minutes from the Aragonese Castle, which was the main reason we came to Ischia. It's a bit far from the port but you can take the bus if you don't want to walk. The quality of service was okay but not the best I've encountered while traveling. At check in, they asked for our passports and when I got to the room, I realized that they never gave it back to me, like most hotels did. When I went back to ask for it, the staff disappeared into the back room for 10 minutes before coming back and giving us our passports back. There were other people waiting for their ID's as well, after asking for them several times. Their actions made us just a little nervous because it almost seemed like they couldn't find our personal documents, but it turned out fine thankfully. The room itself was okay, nothing fancy. The sheets were pretty rough and not very comfortable. The breakfast was good, and they had some cute cats.

We greatly enjoyed our stay at Don Felipe. The owners were wonderful. The stay is in a beautiful location with easy access to the beach, but a little far from town if you don't have a vehicle. Have some wine on the outdoor terrace and enjoy the spectacular view. And the restaurant Gardenia Mare is next door and has fantastic service and food: make a reservation, you won't regret it. If you have a lot of luggage, be warned that there are stairs. For English only speakers, the owners don't speak much English but its enough to get by and they're very patient.
