*Amazing small hotel on Ischia, like an Oasis, even in busy August *Great views over the ocean, best sunset spot *Very good breakfast and lunch (with veggies from their own garden!) *Neatly catered Garden, nice and resfreshing pool *Exceptional service, especially Francesco organized everything for us (restaurant and beach club reservations, boat rental,…) *No dinner at the hotel, yet two very good restaurants are only some steps away *Quite steep and narrow road leading to the hotel up on the hills, yet they offer very convenient shuttle services to the surrounding towns/beaches

It really is the most wonderful family run hotel where your every wish is met from the moment you arrive. They clearly care about you and have gone to great lengths to ensure that your stay is perfect. The views are stunning, the room gorgeous with a beautiful terrace looking down towards the sea. There are so few rooms that the hotel is so peaceful at all times and the pool area is huge for the number of guests and the gardens are stunning. Breakfast is divine with homemade pastries and marmalades, a huge choice of fruit and yoghurts, eggs, cheeses and cold meats and fabulous coffee. The interior design of the hotel is absolutely gorgeous. We hired a car and Francisco arranged for the car rental company to drop us back at the hotel so we didn't need to drive back the incredibly narrow road ourselves! What a fantastic hotel and such a lovely family. We will be back.

We loved everything but it is worth pointing out that the road that goes up and down to the hotel is incredibly narrow and winding. The hotel provides a free shuttle service and have a trusted taxi driver so it isn't an issue. Also there are 3 lovely restaurants within meters of the hotel.

It would be a long list… I will just highlight that people that work there, create wonderful experience and atmosphere that would be hard to rate in 10 scale rating.

I had to leave, i hated that.

Wonderful hotel , from the moment you arrive you are made to feel So welcome by the brothers Alexandro and Francesco and all the lovely staff, our room (suite) was quite dated but clean , pillows need replacing and air con in bedroom didn’t really work , the breakfast was good, lunch menu very limited but ok, no good at night so you have to go out , there are some restaurants within walking distance, one of them was amazing, this hotel is up in the hills I would not recommend to drive. The roads are made for horse and cart! They provide a wonderful shuttle service. This was excellent, there is a beautiful beach in San Angelo which is about 15 minutes away to get to the beach by water taxi it was wonderful look for the orange beds and they do a wonderful lunch there. Swimming pool area is very nice spotlessly clean, their grounds and gardens are beautiful and so pretty, I would definitely recommend this hotel. We had a gorgeous five days there they recommended some wonderful restaurants, we would definitely return.

Nothing not to like !

I didn't just like this boutique resort, I LOVED IT. It exceeded our expectations. Tenuta Del Poggio Antico is a true gem, a secret garden, a fairy tale come true: all of the above. The family who own and run the hotel care deeply about every detail-- and it shows! There such a difference between being in a place that makes you feel like a paying customer versus being in a place that makes you feel like you are a treasured guest welcomed into their family's cultivated paradise. Tenuta Del Poggio Antico does just that. I've stayed at many mega resorts that boast a carnival of all-inclusive amenities and felt like a circus. Tenuta Del Poggio Antico is dedicated to each individual guest's maximum comfort and quality of experience par excellence. The rooms were spacious and impeccably clean. We had a junior suite with a kitchenette including all we needed to craft our own snacks and drinks. The owners encouraged us to enjoy their bounty of produce grown in the villa's gardens surrounding the accommodations. I have never had more delicious lemons, cucumbers, squash, peppers, strawberries, etc. The pool is beautifully serene with a view of the ocean that surpasses any other on the island. The hotel is a short but exciting drive up the mountain and provides free hourly shuttles to local sites and/or you may pay a local cabbie (Antonio) to go across the island. We loved talking to Francesco, Alessandro and their family who gave the best local recs on things to do. I must also thank the shuttle drivers. In particular, Luis who was nothing short of a bodyguard/chauffeur in making sure we got where we needed to be and were picked up in good stead. Again, everyone on staff treated us like royalty! I've never experienced that with such sincerity from any other hotel. We spent a week here and left feeling like we were leaving behind family. In that same way, we promised to return and we will!

If you miss the shuttle service (to go out or to be picked up), you can call the cabbie Antonio. He's very entertaining but his timing could be a little different from his estimate. As could his pricing. Just be aware. Try to catch the hotel shuttles! Those staff drivers will take the best care of you and they're free. ;)

Wonderful hotel and the best staff. It was a bit difficult getting around, you must travel by car but otherwise great, relaxing trip. Two walkable restaurants for dinner were lovely and breakfast at hotel was perfect. Go to the pedestrian walkway, food and shopping area, using the hotel shuttle. A great vibe and energy that could be easily missed.

Having a small area with a dresser and drawer space for a few days would have been great to have. I would not recommend the scooters or renting a car unless you have exceptional experience driving on an island with narrow roads and understand the rules well

Everything was just perfect! Nothing I will write can express how much we enjoyed the place. Do yourself a favor and just visit this amazing and unique hotel.

We stayed at the hotel for our honeymoon, and we will definitely return! It is a special place, full of special people. All staff were kind, friendly and helpful. The property is beautiful, with amazing views of the sea from the top of the hill. It is a quiet location, and quiet, relaxing hotel, which was perfect for us. There are regular shuttle services to the local towns, which is great for when you want to go out in the day or evening. We cannot thank the hotel enough for making our honeymoon so perfect!

Nothing, it was perfect.

Words cannot begin to express how wonderful our stay here was. Francesco, Alessandro, Andrea, Claudia and the entire staff worked tirelessly to make our stay spectacular. From the amazing breakfast, pool, jacuzzi, panoramic views, lunch made mostly from produce in the gardens, drinks, shuttle to nearby towns and attractions, restaurant recommendations, they leave no stone unturned. We felt more like family than guests. Just book your stay and they will take care of the rest. This was the highlight of our vacation to Italy!!!

Beautiful setting high above the ocean with spectacular views and unobstructed views of the sunsets! Feels like a true oasis. Francesco with team made us feel very welcome from the moment we stepped inside the door and really went out of their way to accommodate us with reservations at great restaurants both nearby and in Forio. A true pleasure and experience to be a guest at this wonderful boutique hotel during the 4 nights that we stayed here! The hotel offers a free shuttle to and from nearby towns which was much appreciated and well used. The hotel staff were very friendly and polite!

The lunch menu was quite limited and did not have too many exciting alternatives, perhaps understandable though at such a small place. No dinner service at the hotel which forces guests to either choose from two nearby restaurants (both within 200m walking distance) or take the shuttle to Forio.
