Stayed here for a spell of hot weather this past summer, and liked it enough that I'm planning to go back next summer. Room was very clean and comfortable, staff were helpful and courteous, and the beach was lovely. Regarding the beach, in particular I was happy with how relatively private it was, as well as how well marked off the boat lane was. I've stayed in other places where the swimming area's cheek by jowl with the boat area but the separation wasn't well-marked, so I am glad it was so well-marked here. The only downsides were that the bathroom, curiously, wasn't air conditioned, and the breakfast, which was fairly scant. In fact, everything else was so good I felt let-down by the breakfast; ended up eating a lot of toast in order to fill myself up, and on the third day I just flat-out bought bread in the nearby town so I'd have something more filling to eat in the morning. Otherwise, I was entirely happy with my stay.

Amazing views , worth the trip just for these . Bed uncomfortable, room small but sea view just lovely and air con essential. Breakfast basic. Very clean, helpful / kind staff.

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

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 can't 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 !
