The property is quirky but Beautiful the rooms are clean and bright the grounds are immaculate being constantly worked on all day. We were bed and breakfast,the only hot option were eggs done every way and bacon. this was fine with me lots of other options on display. The staff are very friendly and helpful nothing is any trouble. Courtesy bus to and from town during the day which is a godsend if you can’t walk steep hills. Finally I’d like to say Thankyou to all the staff for making our stay so special. This is is classified a 4star but really very close to a 5star. We will be back !!

I would say if you find steps a problem this isn’t the hotel for you as it is situated in the mountain. Something in the port or town would better suit. This is not the hotels fault but the Taxis from town are very expensive. During the day make sure you take advantage of the hotel’s courtesy bus. As Taxis vary from €15-€20 for a 1 1/2 mile trip

The hotel was beautiful. So we’ll spaced out with so many hidden areas to sit and relax, you almost felt like you had the place to yourself. Maybe it was because it was still on the quieter end of the season but it seemed more like a B&B with just a few guests around then a busy hotel. The facilities were A1 and dinner in the restaurant was top notch and also great value for money.

Our only complaint was the staff member running the beach deck. He was an older male and took a liking to us as young women in our 20s, calling me into the lifeguard cave and making very inappropriate and coercive comments, giving me his name and number and trying to convince me to meet him for a midnight swim. His comments got even more in appropriate and I was very uncomfortable. It really tainted our experience in the hotel as all other staff had been amazing and I don’t think that should be overlooked for the actions of one. I had really wanted to go for one more swim on the beach before I left but I was too uncomfortable at the thought of meeting this staff member on my own to return to the beach.

The breakfast was amazing. All personal were so kind and helpful. I reallh enjoyed my stay and i highly recomend this hotel. The beach was amazing. And it was a really clean hotel. It is easy to go to center by walking, the path is dark at night but it is safe (i was staying alone and all 5 nigth i went to center and came back to hotel by walking). Thank you, and hope to come next year again.

The pool is small but when you have the sea just for you i think no need to pool :) but it is cool sunbathing near pool area.

The hotel is breathtaking with its swimming pool, restaurant over looking the sea and sea-view room. We upgraded our room and had a beautiful duplex with two balconies.

The staff could have been more helpful, at check-in we were not told that breakfast was included in our booking, and when realizing at check-out, they didn't offer any discount or gesture. Also there was no help offered to get up the hill with our luggage at check-out. It's a steep way up to get out of the hotel, but not a problem for fit people.

The lower pool area was lovely and enough sunbeds for all. Breakfast had a lot of choice. Staff very friendly.

The top pool area needs looking at aa a few holes in the tiles. The room we stayed in needs refurbishment. The room was big but the bathroom was very small and needed much improvement. We couldn't sit outside because of the sap from the tree but also not very private as the next room is on the same level. As we couldn't use the outside, there was not a lot of room for drying.your towels or swimming clothes.

The location is amazing. Even though it is up the hill, you can quite easily walk to the hotel from the port. They also offer hotel shuttle which we did not use. I would recommend it to younger people as the hotel is located on a cliff and there is a lot of stairs, but we did not mind and loved the scenery. The pools nor the beach pier were not crowded at all, always a few free spaces and one afternoon we had the pool completely to ourselves (we recommend staying at the upper pool). The only problem/inconvenience for us was that the hotel restaurant is very overpriced and the quality of the food poor (the last thing you want after four days in Napoli is badly prepared frozen pizza). The breakfast was good though and you can get good pizza in the centre in the evening. Overall good stay and we think we will come back some time.

The restaurant is so overpriced and the food not great. Frozen pizza for 6 euro and not even baked well. Club sandwich for around 16 euro (don't remember exactly). The staff was nice though and the breakfast was sufficient, but lunches here were difficult if you don't want to go to a restaurant in the city at noon.

Great location and stunning views. The staff was very welcoming, kudos to Michele at the restaurant. He made us feel special by remembering all our preferences, his courtesy and professionalism are remarkable.

The hotel could be more accessible as we were travelling with a baby and it was sometimes difficult to move around. Otherwise everything else was exceptional.

I loved that the location of the hotel was close enough that I could walk into town (about a 20 minute walk) when I wanted more activity, but also far enough that it was removed from noise or crowds. It was really peaceful and tranquil, very relaxing and the hotel grounds were beautiful with lush plants and flowers everywhere. The two pools were gorgeous and gave me options to choose from, and the beach area was also beautiful. The restaurant was also lovely, though I only had breakfast. (Which was great and had an amazing selection!) I already miss having cappuccinos and fresh fruit while looking out at the sea! My room was also lovely, just the right size, very quiet and I loved that I had a balcony.

I wouldn't change anything about my experience. I truly loved it all.

Our second visit to Ischia and we wanted to stay close to the port area for restaurants. The Continental Mare was in a great position. The hotel is on a steep hill and the staff would take us on the golf cart to the road an easy walk down to the port and we would catch the bus back and the stop is outside the hotel. Or if the hotel transfer bus was dropping or picking up passengers they were always happy to give us a lift. The staff are lovely and always there to help when l asked for a kettle in the room, no problem. The breakfast is lovely and you can order the eggs how you would like them cooked which is much nicer. The pool areas are great and the view is amazing. Also really appreciate the complimentary pick up and drop off at the port, makes a difference when you don't have to look for a taxi.

Some of the rooms have been renovated, and the rooms are a good size but could do with a little bit of styling.

Beautiful, well maintained property. Two lovely pools and jetty with deck chairs by the sea. Peaceful location with 10 minute walk to the Port. Friendly, helpful staff. Free shuttle to and from the port. Breakfast and coffees good. Would stay here again.

People in room below smoked outside so it drifted up to our balcony. Party boats in front of hotel with blaring music one afternoon. There is a step down from the basin to the toilets/shower. The hotel kindly provided a nightlight.
