Hotel Continental Mare

This is a great hotel which I'd definitelyy recommend. It's situated slightly out of Ishcia Porto which means the location is nice and quiet, but it's only about a 10 minute walk into the town and there is a shuttle bus if you don't want to walk back up the hill. We were given a family room which was over two floors so had loads of space. The hotel has an amazing view and both pool areas are great. There's also a private beach where you can swim in the sea. The pool areas weren't overcrowded - we never stuggled to get a good spot. The layout of the hotel is over many levels, so not great if you have mobility issues but not a problem for us. The food was really good every day with a large selection to choose from at breakfast, and we really enjoyed all of the evening meals. We didn't mind choosing the evening meal at breakfast, but if you don't want to do this then you don't have to! All of the staff were very pleasant, particularly in the restaurant. We had to leave very early on the last day and breakfast was arranged from us. The reception staff are happy to help with any queries. Overall we were extremely impressed with Ischia and this hotel and would love to return at some point.

Ist visit to island ischia, via ferry from Naples if it wasnt for Citalia the Italian specialists who service was exceptional .Well your on your own im afraid the ferry was rammed and luggage is left at rear end of ferry.Citalia took care of ours and retrived it on arrival in Ischia escorted to our private taxi for transfer to Continenal Mare, check in was swift,shown to our room up 52 steps on 3rd floor but wow what a view from the very spacious balcony, over Naples bay Although we didnt have a rep we had to ask for all the local info as none displayed anywhere, we booked half board breakfast continental, plentiful if you like all that ,evening meal choices had to be booked at breakfast, just ok you could swap for lunch we did a couple times and found these better, bottles wine average prices for hotels ,drinks at bar expensive, abd given that hotel is situated on hillside no local bars within a good ten minte walk to port via a short cut from hotel which was steep but a lovely walk coming back up was a challenge but a good workout especially carrying goodies from supermarket phew, the therme pools where lovely ,plenty of sunloungers ,towels 2euro per person per day,take your own, travel by the local busy at your own risk as rammed to capacity ,walking to neighbouring towns is a better option although do it leisurely to be appreciated
