Hotel Europa - Ischia Ponte, Ischia

Family run hotel-very hospitable and helpful. Hotel and Ischia Ponte area charming and restful after Naples. Good food, swimming, buses regular and people generally helpful. We didn't use the hotel spa but heard other guests liked it. Breakfast OK. Lots of Italian guests which was great after staying at many mainland hotels prior to Ischia where there were few local guests.

The only plus is the surroundings. Close to Ischia Ponte and public beach. The overall provincial old school feel. Horribly noisy. No air-cons in standars rooms, so if you open the windows you could't sleep because of heavy scooter traffic just a few meters away. Breakfast if very poor. Overpriced.

Mi sono trovata bene nell'hotel, sia per la sistemazione che per la gentilezza del personale. Avevo una camera con un bel balcone, ho trascorso tre giorni in tranquillità Se tornerò a Ischia sceglierò ancora questo hotel

This is our second stay at Hotel Europa and I think it is an amazing hotel. The thermal pool is heavenly and the staff and services are superb. They even let us stay in our room until 4PM as our boat was not leaving until 17:30 from the port. The family is very welcoming and can't do enough for you. There is also an internet available to all guests free of charge. Food was great, Will go again as soon as we can.

Excellent stay and location. Don't be surprise by the color of the (thermal) water in the swimming pool! Very good family restaurant (half board).

The staff was extremely helpful. The rooms were clean and bright. The thermal pool and sauna were a perfect way to relax at the end of a long day. It was in an excellent location - just a short walk from Castle Aragonese and the bus stops. Good internet point and bar. If you're staying on Ischia, this is the perfect place. I can't recommend this hotel enough!

The five of us - 2 from east Australia and 3 from west Australia travelled from Tuscany via car and ferry to the island and had pre-booked 1 single and 2 double rooms at the hotel.Directions to the hotel were unhelpful when we rang on our mobile. One double room had windows to 2 streets and was extremely noisy until about 12.30 am and then the street cleaner and rubbish collector started at 4.30am.The bathroom had gaps and black mould around the edges of the bath and at first had smelt of bad drains. We had all booked for half board but as the first dinner was barely warm and inedible to say the least we cancelled the rest of the half board for the week of our stay. The pool was due to be open from 9 am but as they emptied it every morning it didn't open until 10.30 to 11am depriving us our morning swims. We could never recommend this hotel nor would any of us return to Ischia.

This place was great. Ceiling fans kept you cool at night. Close enough to the sea so that there were no mosquitoes so you could open the window. Great swimming pool/mineral bath. the water was warm. great for soaking out the kinks after walking all day. ischia ponte is a great area. Close to the sea for great views, great shopping. Close enough to the Port to get to it as a bus transport hub, but far ewnough away to be quiet at night. Great restaurants. The breeze off the sea was wonderful. Nice bathroom. Non-typical Italian shower keeps water off the floor. Window in the bathroom.

This is an excellent place to stay in Ischia. It represents good value for money and the staff are very friendly and helpful - nothing is too much trouble. The little mineral pool and its surroundings are lovely. It is very much "no frills"; there is a limited choice of food for the evening meal. I don't eat meat though I do eat fish; the staff were most considerate in making sure I had a choice of main course. The food was good and there was plenty of it. I would not however advise having half-board if you don't eat fish OR meat. There are beauty treatments available at the Europa - you need to ask and they will arrange for the the therapist to attend. I had a facial and it was lovely! Transport is very easy - the no7 bus to Ischia Porto stops outside the hotel and there is a frequent service. If you prefer to walk to Porto this takes 20-30 min and all the buses for the island leave from there. Some of them can also be caught from Piazza Eroi which is 5min from the hotel. Ischia Ponte itself is very attractive and the castle is stunning. All in all this is a great place to base yourself for a holiday on this lovely island - reasonably priced, welcoming and conveniently placed.

Europa is a short bus ride from Ischia Porte and a stroll to Ischia Pointe. The island is popular with Italian tourists and quieter and less sophisticated than Sorrento and Capri though with beaches for sun worshippers. Maronti beach is worth the trip into Porte for the bus on to Maronti. The hotel makes for a comfortable and pleasant stay for those seeking a quiet break with a wide variety of spa treatments. Free internet access and hotel arranged scooter/car hire was a bonus.

A wonderful place to stay on Ischia. We took a bus to the other side of the island which was beautiful, but my wife and I preferred the area around the Hotel Europa much more. There just seemed to be more going on in our area. The hotel staff is very friendly and helpful and made our stay very enjoyable.

We would unreservedly recommend this hotel for its comfort, the attentiveness of the staff and its location. In spite of being situated on a busy road the plants around the swimming pool give it a rural atmosphere and the rooms are very quiet. We had an excellent breakfast and its position between Ischia Ponte and Ischia Porte makes it quite convenient. We did not discover the road to the port (behind the hotel) until our last day. It takes just 20 minutes to walk (almost along the sea front) to the wonderful shopping centre of the port where there is a great choice of restaurants. Ischia Ponte (which is much nearer) is disappointing in this respect. It is one of the best hotels in which we have stayed.

I had an excellent stay at this hotel. The receptionist was extremely helpful and the hotel was ideally situated for eating out and getting around the island.

Of the nine hotels we stayed in during our month in europe this one definately offered the best value for money. If i return to Ischia i will definately stay here again. Reasons: good staff, nice clean rooms, good breakfast, nice location, internet access etc... i have nothing negative to say about this hotel

Overall an excellent stay without any bad surprise at all. The hotel is managed by a family, which creates a nice atmosphere. The thermal pool is quite unique. Quality of meals is very good. Clientele is ranging from families to more senior people, all converging towards a pleasant atmosphere and mutual respect (no kids shouting and no loud teenagers with techno music or the like). Ischia itself is a magic island, and the hotel is located near beaches. Europa also offers interesting partnerships for leisure activities at different spots of Ischia like Negombo.

This place was great. It has a mineral pool and is right by a cute town. We got a half board, so breatfast and dinner were included and the food was excellent. We looked forward to dinner every night, it was delicious. Everything was very fresh and cooked to perfection. If you stay here, do the half board, it is worth every penny!! Also, the bus (#7) comes right to the hotel from the port! you can also then get the bus and go to the beach. It was very nice. we highly recommend it.

The rooms could do with a little more finesse, covers and linen though spotless a little worn. Owners extremely helpful and welcoming.

Lovely small hotel with excellent and reasonable (optional) dinners. Very pleasant staff. Well located with its own charming neighborhood and an easy walk to the port area. Near bus stops.

Very good hotel & good service well located would go again

Basic cooking, it can be better specially for South Italy. Room cleaning should be better. Low water pressure, while you are having shower water can disappear. Very good location, from room you can see Castello Aragonese and S. Anna fire exhibition

Very good at all! Nice place, nice people, nice position in Ischia

This is a lovely, charming hotel and I would happily stay here again. The staff were helpful and friendly.

Sympathic ambient, good service, good vacancy

We really enjoyed our week long stay at Europa and extended it for two nights. The Ponte end of Ischia is a lot more attractive than Porta being less obviously tourist orientated and catering more for the locals. It was the last week of the tourist season and despite being the last handful of guests everyone at the hotel made a genuine effort to make us feel at home. We plan on returning. A word of criticism about the food which I felt was overly catering for a German clientel. Do Germans really want a mediocre version of their own cuisine while on holidays...perhaps they do. More of the local excellent simple fare would have been preferable with a little more care in the preparation of food i.e. oversalted sauces and over cooked eggs. Otherwise excellent value, friendly personable service and a beautiful island to explore.

The hotel was charming. The staff were all very friendly and helpful. The location was great although the hotel is right on the main road so it was a little bit noisy. My only real criticism would be the breakfast. It was very limited.

Hotel Europa is an excellent choice of place to stay in Ischia. Rooms are a decent size with comfortable beds. The location is ideal being situtated 15 minutes walk from Ischia Porte and 10 minutes walk from Ischia Ponte and the Castel Aragonesse. There is a decent free beach approx 300 metres away. The hotel staff are very welcoming and helpful. Ischia is a beautiful and friendly island and well worth a visit. Would definately recommend and stay again at Europa if we returned

Location is best for exploring the island. Had a nice stay here and will come again. Thank you.

We enjoyed our stay at Europa and the staff were very helpful.The hotel was convenient for all our requirements on the beach,also our evening stroll in the Ponte where we had our drinks watching the world go bye. Really a most enjoyable holiday

I found the Hotel Europa was a lovely place to stay whilst exploring the beautiful Island of Ischia. It's perfectly situated close to the Castle, beaches, shops and cafes. The food was excellent; the wine very good and the service first class! My room was very comfortable and the thermal pool great for de-stressing!! I'm returning to Ischia to explore more of the Island and area, and will definitely stay at the Europa again. The Buono family's hospitality made me feel so welcome.

This was my favorite hotel during our month long trip. Great location. Walk to the Argonese Castle in minutes. Hotel had internet service in the lobby. Nothing flashy, just nice and comfortable.

Had a great time on Ischia and the hotel was just what we were looking for. Close to everything, good breakfast and good room for the price, and we loved the island.

The right address is Via Sogliuzzo 25. All good even if food can be better, all is well cooked anyway.

Perhaps changing the towels in the bathrooms is a good idea as the one available were not of good quality. As for the rest, the hotel is really very good with very good people always ready to help you and my stay was really very good! Thank you!

We enjoyed our stay and will return

One of the good hotels that I have stayed in. The staff are very helpful and courteous. Good breakfast. Central location. Close to the bus stop and the castle.

Sandro and Raffaele were wonderfully welcoming and quite gracious hosts on our first trip back to hte isalnd of my ancestors. They were always pleased to help our and take the time to talk. The meals were outstanding, and the wait staff and maid staff were all quite nice. The hotel is quite confortable, with plenty of places to enjoy inside and out; from the pool to roof patio to the cozy bar. The location is great, since it's only a short walk down to Ischia Ponte. And the bus stops are also right nearby. We're looking forward to our next trip back to Ischia, and hopefully another stay at Hotel Europa.

Very much enjoyed my stay in this hotel.

We traveled all around the island and liked Ischia Ponte the best! The Castello Aragonese is beautiful and there are some good restaurants in town (especially the Vineria X Bacco). The location of the hotel is great for going anywhere on the island and the owners are very nice and helpful. Even though the hotel is located on a busy road, we weren't bothered by the noise at all. Best of all, the grounds of the hotel are kept up very well with beautiful flowers and nice places to sit and read.

Raphael at the front desk was helpful. The staff worked through my limited ability with Italian. Breakfast meal was fairly good! Location between Ischia Porto and Ischia Pointe was great.
