What a magical hotel. Family owned and run, they take great care and passion for the experience of guests. We stayed 7 nights and genuinely cannot fault both the hotel and staff! Very attentive, genuine and always looking to help. Great spot, great location ( including views) and great food! We highly recommend dinning at the hotel in the evenings. They cook up exceptional food (with many ingredients from their garden). For the price point and quality/taste along with terrace views, it is hard to beat. Hotel is a brief 5/10minute walk from the main Sant'Angelo Sq up the hill which we loved. Their beach is a short walk and offers a great sun bathing location, very reasonable sun longer costs and exceptional beach bar food for lunch! We will be back for sure next year.

Hard to fault really which is an achievement !

Villa Maria is an idyllic place to land. The family that runs it are welcoming and attentive hosts. The rooms are beautiful and comfortable. The views are stunning. The food is incredible. We would come back here again and again.

We only regret not eating dinner there every night of our stay. We ate dinner on the last night and it was delicious and abundant. Dining in Sant Angelo is good, but eating at Villa Maria is special, and if we were to do it again, we would eat there all or most evenings.

Absolutely everything was fantastic. The location is great, with an amazing view over Sant'Angelo from the terrace. The owner and staff are genuinely nice people, which made our stay pleasant and comfortable. The hotel is clean and bright. I highly recommend having at least one, if not more, dinners at Villa Maria; the quality of the menu is excellent. In short, you can stay here without any hesitation. If we will visit Samt Angelo again we would stay here again.

Nothing

Everything was amazing. The staff, the service, the food, the location, etc. I cannot wait to return. Excellent espresso & cappuccino! Best on the island, actually. Also, best dinner we had on the island! Right here at this hotel. Great, healthy breakfast. Amazing walking opportunities. Up and down the mountain paths. Each walk was an adventure. Just incredible beauty all around you. Breathtaking views. A true hidden gem.

I adored Villa Maria. The fact that it matched the photos on Booking.com was a nice surprise. Everything about Villa Maria exudes luxury from a bygone era. The beautiful gardens, the exquite tiling throughout, the terrace where you absorb the most breathtaking views, the food was plentiful and delicious, the gorgeous homely feel about it, the view from my own balcony to wake up to each morning and the friendliness of the staff. I could have happily stayed here longer to truly appreciate the beauty of this hotel.

Mosquitoes were a problem of a nighttime so there needs to be some form of screening to the balcony doors to enable fresh air to enter the room. There are no amenities like a small fridge, tea and coffee making facilities and no information in the room about meal times or how to contact the hotel reception. I was completely in the dark on the first day of my arrival.

Everything! The stay was a 10/10 for us. The staff were always lovely and helpful, and we adored that the place is clearly family run. We felt like we had been welcomed into someone’s home. The food here was delicious and we would recommend to eat dinner here every night which we started doing halfway through our stay. We stayed in the annex which was a bit of a walk with luggage but this didn’t affect our overall stay at all. Overall it’s the best hotel stay I’ve had, maybe ever, and I’m hoping to be back!

We liked everything :)

This hotel is all about local authenticity. Everything from the service, cooking and beach bar is operated by members of the same family. Having tried a few restaurants around Sant Angelo believe me the food at the Villa Maria is the best. Fantastic choice and flavour. And the view from the terrace when you eat is to die for. Special praise to the waiting staff who were very friendly and remembered our individual preferences. We would highly recommend - a simple and charming hotel with great people, service, character and food. If ever we return to Ischia we would stay here.

It would have been nice to have some separation between our terrace and the room next door. Mattresses could have been softer. But these are minor niggles and did not stop us having a great experience.

From start to finish, everything was truly outstanding. The dinner was excellent, the view was stunning, and what made our experience truly special was the way the family-staff treated us, like we were part of their own family. The warm and welcoming atmosphere created by them made our stay feel not just comfortable but also incredibly personal. It's rare to find such genuine hospitality, and it made our time at their place truly memorable. It was, by far, the best experience we've had at any hotel we've visited so far.

This was one of the best stays we have ever had!! My partner and I were on a 6 week europe holiday and villa maria was by far our favorite location. Firstly, THE VIEW is even better than the photos! Every morning we were blown away by the beautiful view as we enjoyed our breakfast. The room was gorgeous, we especially loved the spacious terrace where we enjoyed a glass of wine most evenings. We had read that the hotel put on a delicious dinner in their restaurant and that was absolutely true. We loved the dinner so much we ate at the hotel 4 out of our 5 nights and the antipasto appetizers is something we will be coming back for. The vegetables picked fresh from their garden daily made these meals some of the best we had on our entire trip. Lastly, the service of Gennaro and his family were what made this hotel so special. They were so kind to use during our entire stay and Genarro was so incredibly helpful in recommending day to day activities (he speaks excellent English!!). We loved this place so much, it felt like our home away from home and we are already planning our next return!

Hotel Villa Maria is third generation family owned and an absolute gem of a find if they can fit you in. The hotel is perched on a hill with incredible views and vista and positioned to get the sun all day. The family with staff run the hotel and they could not do more for you if they had tried. Incredibly accommodating and helpful from the time we got there to the time we left. Make sure you stay for dinner €30 (at time of writing) which included a buffet of starters which was the highlight - you could base your whole dinner on just the starters truth be told, but then there were three more courses to deal with - and they were also fantastic. Dinner was a shotgun start at 7:30pm which allows you take in the sunset and not miss out on the starters ( note - a lot of the vegetables are grown by the family. Also, dinner can be booked separately - you do not need to staying but it is nice to wander down from your hotel room after a day at the beach Breakfast was buffet European style and a 10/10 - pastries were superb and good coffee, heaps of fruit and cereals topped off with the amazing view to kickstart every morning The hotel have about 20 beach chairs on Maronite beach with a small cafe there as well - definitely worth a wander down to. There is a separate cost for the chairs. This was our second stay in Sant Angelo and we will definitely return to Villa Maria when we go back - people, view, food - we just relaxed - we even know what rooms we will be asking for ….

Beds, as in mattresses definitely - they are very firm. And if I was being super critical desserts always left me a little underwhelmed (but by the time I got to dessert it was probably a good thing).
