Hotel Continental Mare | Hotel in Ischia Porto, Campania

“Absolutely beautiful hotel – we loved every minute of our stay. The gardens surrounding the hotel and pool are stunning and immaculately maintained, creating such a peaceful atmosphere. The pool was warm, spotlessly clean, and had a great selection of sun loungers and Balinese beds. Having two pools was a real bonus. The beach club area was lovely and perfect for a swim in the sea, although it would benefit from some umbrellas or shaded areas. As there was no shade, and it was quite a climb back up to the hotel, we only used it for a quick dip. With some shade, it would be absolutely perfect. Breakfast was excellent, with a huge choice of fresh, high-quality food every morning. Our room was spacious and had a huge balcony overlooking the gardens, pool, and the sea, with incredible views across to Naples and Mount Vesuvius. The only real downside was the air conditioning. It kept the room cooler than outside, but it wasn’t as powerful as we would have liked, especially during the hotter days. The complimentary shuttle bus to and from Ischia Porto was a fantastic addition and made getting around very easy. It would have been even better if it ran a little later, as the last service is at 4:30pm, but the walk back from town is only around a mile and is manageable, albeit slightly uphill. We also had lunch at the hotel, which was excellent. The menu was extensive, and everything we ordered was delicious. We didn’t try dinner, as it wasn’t served until 8pm”

“Splendid, an overall fantastic experience with little expectations. A true gem in Ischia!”

“Hotel and location were amazing. I would return. I was disappointed of the extra charge to stay by the pool after check out while we waited for the fairy, especially that the hotel was not busy at all.”

“We were celebrating our 20th Wedding Anniversary and the lovely receptionist surprised us with the same beautiful room that we had for our honeymoon there along with a bottle of champagne. It made our anniversary extremely special.”

“recommend highly”

“We loved our stay and wish we could go back immediately. Beautiful property made of multiple buildings on a hill side. The room was comfortable with good AC and plenty of closet space. The included breakfast was excellent and had a lovely view (I especially appreciated the cappuccino the staff would bring out). Staff was very friendly and nice. We noticed a few ants near our doorway our first morning and the staff immediately took care of it. As other reviewers mentioned, there’s a path that takes you from the hotel into the port, which was very convenient. It is a bit of a climb so we made sure to stock up on water and snacks whenever we went down to explore/for dinner. Two pools, which we used quite a bit, both with gorgeous views. The ocean deck was unfortunately not open when we visited end of May, but there’s a small nearby beach along the path that takes you into town (about a 5-10 min walk) There’s also a bus stop at the top of the property (you can buy tickets from the front desk or at shops around the island), which made it easy to get around. We were able to leave our luggage in the lobby while we explored after check out, which was great. Highly recommend!”

“THEY DID NOT HONOR THE HOTELS.COM PRICE. Refused. Charged their price -- I booked at 145/nt and they charged 160/nt. So if you are expecting to pay the correct amount, i don't know what to tell you. ALSO the address on the website is incorrect..... Google will take you to a private house about a mile away. ”

“Overall pretty average for the price - very nice property but food was below average and over priced. People were helpful. The shuttle is helpful that takes you to the port. A storm damaged the ocean sun deck which had it out of action. Low light was being charged 203 euro for laundry - although this was my fault for not checking prices it was pretty jarring to be charged 4 euro per sock…. Highlight was the views and the ocean sun deck pre storm”

“My daughter and I had a wonderful 6 days at Continental Mare. Our room was upgraded (thank you very, very much!) and the staff were all extremely friendly and helpful. Breakfasts were very good, with great gluten-free options. The shuttle to town was very helpful and the short-cut walking path to town gave us a bit of exercise, but was easier than I expected. No negatives at all - our stay was excellent.”
