The host (marianna) was extremely friendly and efficient, she picked us up from the port and returned us when we left. Nothing was too much trouble, we had to move room due to an ant infestation after an overnight storm and she got stuck in and did most of it herself. We also had a power cut related to the storm and she brought candles to the room. She also provided us with coffee and cake on occasion. We loved the room which was in the extensive garden and had a nice sea view. If we were to return to Casamicciola we would definitely go back to Matarese Hotel.

There is nothing to dislike about the Matarese, it may be a little rustic but that is what we wanted and it is reflected in the very good value price.

Breakfast was served in a beautiful shady garden where fruit and vegetables for the table were grown by the owners. Marianna and Francesca kindly recommended restaurants, places to visit and transport.

The steep climb up from the port to the hotel which made us realise we are not as fit as we think but it was worth it.

Hotel Materese is located in Casamicciola, an excellent choice for visiting the wonderful island of Ischia, which is very central, with many restaurants, shops, beautiful beaches and other services. It is well served by public transport, taxis and has its own port. It is also a good place to stay as it is both peaceful and lively. The hotel itself is cute, has a wonderful garden with many beautiful plants and fruit trees (kiwi, lemon, orange, tangerines, peppers, fig tree, grapes... It also has its own restaurant where you can taste homemade dishes for breakfast (included) and dinner (optional). My room was located in the garden, so it was very quiet and intimate, with a very nice view of the sea. It was very large, comfortable, clean and well equipped. But above all, you absolutely have to stay at Hotel Materese because of Marianna and her family. They will do everything to make you feel unique and at home. Even before my arrival, she sent me tips to come easily. As I had to arrive in the morning before check-in time, she prepared the room early for me and welcomed me with good coffee and organic grapes from the garden (which is very precious after a long trip). She took the time to explain everything to me about the island, gave me lots of valuable advice (restaurants, activities...). It was not my first time in Ischia, but thanks to Marianna this time I was able to discover it very well and enjoy all the treasures of the island. She was also very caring with me and concerned about the smooth running of my stay (booking me activities, bringing me an umbrella when it was raining, preparing breakfast especially for me when it was already over...) . Thank you very much Marianna for everything, and I hope to be back soon!

This was our best accomodation in the past few years. The owner and the other staff are really nice people. We felt like home for these few days. The owner is a really nice, welcoming and caring person. The garden is like a little oasis. If we did not want to go to the center we could chill at the terrace in the garden with a nice view to the sea and the city. Breakfast was fresh really as it was written straight from the garden. The pies and home made cookies were delicious. The coffee also very good of course :) We discovered the island walked a lot but got really good tips from Marianne. She was always ready to help with any kind of questions we had. We are highly recommend this place :)

A family owned hotel. Impeccably maintained with beautiful gardens and loads of fruit trees that are immaculately cared for. Mariana welcomed us with such warmth and was extremely helpful. Mariana went far and beyond to make sure we were well taken care of and very helpful with any reservations we needed or questions we had. Francesca her sister is the chef at the hotel and will definitely treat you with delicious homemade meals that will surely tantalize your taste buds. Let's not forget their mom and dad who keep the garden grounds breath taking with beautiful flowers and fruit trees. Honestly, if we can rate this hotel and our experience a 12 on 10 we most definitely would. They made us feel like part of their family. It was extremely sad saying goodbye but filled our hearts with beautiful memories. Look no further, Hotel Matarese is all you need. Hugs from Gina and Bruno. Canada

I loved everything! The family owned and operated hotel and hotel grounds are cared for with love. The hotel is very clean, as well as the rooms. Morning breakfast consists of home grown, fresh apricots and cherries with homemade jam and fresh juices for your toast- formaggio and meats as well, if you like. The staff is so friendly and genuine. Mariana and her staff worked hard to provide a great experience for us. She offers tons of information about local restaurants, beaches, as well as discounts for spas. She also picked us up and dropped us off at the ferry. Way more than we could have asked for! I couldn't have asked for a better place to stay. I will be back!

Large , clean . neat and sunny rooms . Nice meals . And the owners so sweet , nice and helpfull that we started to feel like members of their family. Marianna ,Francesca , Veronica and Mr Matarese -grazie mille . Valeria & Gabriel

Marianna was helpful and amazing from day one. The hotel is held by the whole family, everyone is there to make your stay as comfortable as possible. She gave us the best recommendations for restaurants and activities to do on the island. The backyard is majestic and beautiful, our only regret was not being able to enjoy it longer as we had our days planned out. Everybody's nice and want to cater as best as they can to our needs. The hotel is clean, the service was 10/10. I would recommend this place with no hesitation.

The hotel is beautiful and the family who owns it is really wonderful - warm and generous in every way you can imagine. We got great advice about how to spend our time in Ischia and how to get around the island. Our large, pretty room with gorgeous views stayed cool even during a heat wave. There is a comfortable garden with sea views for relaxing (it also supplies the kitchen with a lot of beautiful fresh fruit and vegetables). Breakfast and dinner were prepared by the family - all truly delicious. A genuinely special place.

The hotel is really charming with a beautiful green backyard and everything is super clean. Mariana really helped us with giving information about the island like where to eat, what to visit, where the best beaches are etc. It was really nice that you can count on her help when needed 😊 rest of the staff was also really friendly 😊 The breakfast is great with excellent coffee, the offer is more sweet than savory. I would definetively recommend!
