A Perfect Slice of Paradise – Beyond 5 Stars! We spent 7 unforgettable days at Villa Araucaria in Ischia, and it was nothing short of magical. From the moment we arrived, it felt less like a rental and more like staying at a beloved relative’s home — thanks entirely to Carlo Basile, the most gracious and attentive host we’ve ever encountered. Carlo went above and beyond in every possible way. He even crossed over from Naples just to welcome us personally, give us a full tour of the villa, and make sure we felt completely at ease. He was available 24/7 for any question or need — from local recommendations to small requests — always kind, responsive, and warm. It’s rare to find that level of care and dedication anywhere. Very unique! The villa itself is immaculate: spotlessly clean, beautifully designed with high-quality furnishings, and fully equipped to cook like at home. The mattresses are brand new and incredibly comfortable, and the air conditioning is powerful and covers the entire property — a true blessing in summer! The view? Stratospheric — sweeping, serene, and unforgettable. The silence and peace around the house made it the perfect oasis to unwind. The pool is the cleanest we’ve ever seen, and the lush garden is maintained daily, looking pristine every day of our stay. A special shout-out to Assunta, the housekeeper, who is a true gem! She visited daily to clean and maintain the villa, and change all towels and all sheets every 3 days!!! something we’ve never experienced at any other holiday home before. Her kindness and professionalism added a special touch to our stay. ❤️ We were a group of 10 people, and every single one of us agreed: this is the best villa we’ve ever stayed in, anywhere in the world. The combination of the location, comfort, service, and above all, Carlo’s outstanding hospitality, made this a home away from home in every sense. If you’re lucky enough to find availability at Villa Araucaria — book it without hesitation.

This place is more than one can ask for. It is a beautiful villa with a sea view, well maintained and surrounded by nature and gordious garden flowers. The rooms are tastefully decorated, with private terraces/patio. There is a nice pool as well. The owners give the special charm to this place. In the morning Lucia bakes fresh cakes for an Italian style breakfast and Carlo will give you all the information and solve all the problems. They are very committed to their guests and we felt genuinely welcomed. They waited and drove us from the port to the accommodation when we arrived, and also on the way back. They even offer to guests to pick them from the bus stop in front of the villa if they are not in the mood for steep walking. Lucia and Carlo, great team at amazing place for a memorable vacation.

We had the best time at Villa Araucaria! The hosts Carlo and Lucia are the best hosts that are trying everything to make your stay the best time and are so friendly and helpful. They give you recommendations what to do on the island and even offer a pick-up service. It is a great property with an amazing few and a lot of space! Great pool area and sitting area. The rooms are very comfortable and very clean. We immidiately felt like home in the Villa! In additon, they offer a great dinner which you need to try. Very authentic, local and delicious food, which you can individually choose every night. Also they are offering parking spaces and tell you exactly how to find these. We will definitely come back!

If you want to stay in a nice place with stunning view and cosy swimming pool, Villa Araucaria is the best choice. Everywhere is clean and there is also a huge terrace. Lucia is a great host, she can offer you fruits and wine during the day and great breakfast in the morning. Carlo speaks fluently English, he knows everything about the island and he advice you very well. And he also explain you where the apartment is, because it is not so easy to find it. Grazie mille Lucia and Carlo, we are glad we could stay at yours! Eva & Zdenka👣🎒🩷

Gorgeous location with great views, lovely breakfast, gorgeous hosts who were very hospitable and friendly. Carlo gave lots of recommendations for things to do within the time frame we had - very realistic things to achieve in the time we had there. Definitely appreciated the attention paid to us. Very good hosts at a gorgeous property - would definitely come back!!

Property is on a hill - no issue for us but I’d imagine if you’re older or mobility challenged it would be.

The staff was very nice :) They answered to all of our questions regarding the island with a big smile, they helped us book restaurants and taxis and even gave us a ride to the port the day we left. In the end it felt like we were staying with family. The hotel itself is very comfortable and has a beautiful view, and we were very positively surprised when we discovered we had our own big private terrace in our room.

I liked everything :) I guess the only thing I can add is that we were expecting for the hotel to be closer to the port of ischia. Don't get me wrong, it is close, but by foot it can be a bit tiring since it's going up.

Villa Araucaria is a lovely villa that we spent 2 nights in! Carlos and his family go above and beyond to make sure you are comfortable and have everything you need. Quick walk to a bus stop takes you everywhere on the island and not far from beaches along the north of the island! Would definitely return!

The property is even more beautiful than these pictures. It’s a quiet slice of paradise. The owners are amazing, they went above and beyond saving us from another hotel, and accommodating all our needs.

I wish we could have stayed longer!

We had the most incredible time at Villa Araucaria! It was a beautiful property, with helpful staff, delicious daily breakfast and an amazing view. Highly recommend, thankyou Carlos & team!
