My family and I recently went to Ischia and stayed at Hotel Villa Firoentina. The facility is layed out like more like a private residence than a hotel, and you really get that "at home family feel" when stating there. It's located a mile or so away form the main port up a steep hillside. The owner's name is Nicola and he is a wonderful host. Upon arrival we were greeted by Nicola and given a tour of the grounds. Nicola has lemons, parsley, basil, tomatoes, multiple types of lettuce, and many other vegetables growing in his expansive gardens. Your room comes complete with breakfast every morning and dinner each night, and every meal includes something fresh from Nicola's garden. His brother, Natale, is the chef and the man ought to be running a world class restaurant. The food is absolutely excellent and we never had the same meal twice. The rooms are cleaned daily, complete with beds made, towels replaced, etc. The rooms are modest but functional and fit in with the overall theme that Ischia provides. The Villa has a great swimming pool and plenty of room to lay in the sun. Nicola had a rental car delivered to the property for my parents and he drove my brother and I to town in his own vehicle to we could rent scooters. (I am 37 and my brother is 35, and we highly recommend having scooters to get around.) When we arrived to the rental office, I discovered I had left my driver's license back at the hotel, but since Nicola is like the Mayor of Ischia all it took was a wave of his hand and I was given the scooter without so much as providing the shop my name. No credit card, no deposit, no signatures. Just Nicola's word that he'd take care of getting the papers signed later. I can't say enough good things about our experience at Nicola's Villa Fiorentina (named after his grandmother) and I highly recommend you stay there on your next trip to Ischia!
