Hotel Don Felipe

Lovely hotel, located on a cliff so lots of steps. Small heated swimming pool with a beautiful view. Bar open all day with drinks and good quality snacks. Breakfast was not great, the juices and bread could be fresh. Rooms feel a little outdated but the beds were very comfortable. Most rooms have an amazing balcony or terrace. You have to pay for extras that are normally included ie use of a corkscrew, leaving your luggage. The staff were amazing- very kind and attentive. They made our stay.

Beautiful peaceful location with serene views. the bus stop and beach club (Giardino Eden) are right infront of the entrance. wonderful, helpful and welcoming staff (easy to communicate in English). A bit outdated, but comfortable, clean room (sea view). fresh tasty buffet breakfast with local pastries and fresh juices. The pool was warm and always sparkling. Things to note: the property is on a mountain side, so quite a few stairs, but manageable for basic fitness. The bistro on the rooftop offers great drinks and a simple menu. The room TV only has local channels in Italian (but we managed to change the audio settings to English for a couple of dubbed movie channels) - the F1 is not broadcast live on the local channels, but it is available to watch a few hours after the race. (hotel Aragona at Ischia port did broadcast live). Pool towels available for hire, EUR5 per towel, once off. The staff can arrange anything for you - a private transfer to the port was EUR20 one way (not per person). The local buses didn't seem to accept visa cards (they work everywhere else), so it's better to buy a bus ticket from a local shop - also, the buses can be delayed - but they do show up eventually. Google maps says bus 182 & 183 but it's actually 12 & 13 that stop at the hotel. I give it 9.9 out of 10, because there is room to improve, and with the amount of effort and care going in to making the hotel better and better - I'm certain they will become a 4 star hotel soon! We would definitely stay here again!

This was the perfect place to stay for our week in Ischia. The view from most areas of the hotel was amazing and there was nothing nicer than sitting in the bar area in the evening looking out over the bay and castle. Although we didn’t book a room with breakfast, we went a couple of times and it was well worth the money, with plenty of options. The staff were always friendly and helpful, and our room was clean and tidy, with room service every day if you wanted it. Although not large, the pool with a view was never crowded and it was nice to have somewhere close to cool down

I had a fantastic stay at Hotel Don Felipe. The staff was incredibly helpful, and the room was spotless. I loved the hotel's convenient location near the city center and the breathtaking views of the Bay of Naples from the terrace and room. I highly recommend it.

We had the best 6 days at Hotel Don Felipe. Our double room was clean and comfortable with an amazing sea view. Breakfast was fresh and plentiful. All the staff are friendly and helpful and take great care of the hotel and surroundings. The bar/restaurant also has views of the castle and coastline. The hotel is located on a quiet road not too far from Ischia Ponte. Buses to and from Ischia Porto stop outside the hotel. Its the perfect spot to relax in beautiful surroundings and explore the island. I will definitely be back to Ischia and Don Felipe.

What a wonderful place to stay! The view cannot be beat, waking up to the perfect views was so special. Everything was super clean and I felt taken care of. I was there alone, and stayed in the single room, and it was perfect for what I needed, at such a fair price. Plus a great pool and a quality breakfast (and restaurant staff) were so wonderful. I would stay again for sure! The only thing that wasn't ideal for me personally was perhaps the location -- it was a great location if you have a scooter or car, but I found that (using public transit) I was having to trek pretty far to get to a lot of the locations I wanted to visit on the island (like Poseidon). But even given that, I'd still stay again in a heartbeat. I hope to return!
