Address
Castello Aragonese - Ischia

Treat yourself to the once-in-a-lifetime experience of sleeping inside the Castello Aragonese on Ischia by booking a room at Il Monastero, a former convent that retains its historic charm.

Understated Elegance

The guest rooms at Albergo Il Monastero are set in the ancient monks' cells and are simple but elegant and relaxing. The entire complex captivates guests with its mysterious air borne of centuries of history: rooms and terraces overlooking the sea lead to labyrinths of passageways, stairs, and corridors, and breathtaking views over the village of Ischia Ponte surprise at every turn.

Breakfast and Cocktails with a View

The generous breakfast is served on the panoramic terrace at Il Monastero. On this bright overlook guests can sample freshly baked treats in the morning, or admire the sunset over the sea in the afternoon.

Traditional Mediterranean Cuisine

In the evening, settle in for dinner at Albergo Il Monastero's restaurant, which delights with its variety of authentic island dishes and Mediterranean classics. Menus are based on quality, local ingredients chosen by season, freshly baked bread made in the island's wood-burning ovens, and vegetables from the Monastero's garden. Meals here are an experience to bed savored, and that make your vacation on Ischia just that much more special.

This place has incredible views and charm everywhere. Their staff are equally charming and helpful. There are a large number of stairs and uphill climbs around the castle. When you arrive (reception is available 24 hours), you can have staff transport your luggage up to the hotel. You can take the elevator up and eliminate the largest portion of the climb up to the hotel. The room is understated. It is small and minimally furnished. Perhaps a queen size bed? If is clean with adequate storage and air conditioning. The ceilings are very high. It is serene and quiet. The views from the balcony room, and all of the common spaces, are amazing. The breakfast is incredible— coffees, juices, breads, salads, meats, cheeses, cakes, fruit, yogurt, etc. Book early and make dinner reservations. The dinner is a tasting menu and the food is incredible. You are booking for the amazing location, incredible staff, and delicious food. To get to shopping, other restaurants, and the bus, you need to cross the narrow pedestrian path back to the main island. Depending on the waves, you could get splashed on a short segment of the walk. You can have a taxi take you to the entrance if you are traveling with luggage (before 8:00 pm).

A mixed experience - fitness required!

The pros: stunning location and views, beautiful design, wonderful kitchen garden The cons: standard rooms are very small (barely 2ft clearance at the base of the bed and nowhere to put a large bag); when we were there the ascensore (elevator) failed and we were left hiking nearly 100 metres vertical up steps to our room in baking heat. This seemed to be a fairly regular occurrence so only book here if you are fit!

Apres l'effet waow, des premiers instants, celui ci s'estompe des l'entrée de la chambre, en effet l'austérité de celle-ci surprend, même si c'est un monastère nous n'avions pas prévu de rentrer dans les ordres et de dormir dans une cellule au charme équivalent de celle d'une cite étudiante. La visite des jardins et du potager, plutôt sympa et bucolique, nous incites a diner sur place, mal nous en a pris, un attrape couillon, cela a même fini par nous faire rire, entre le pain caoutchouteux, la présentation pompeuse des plats et le résultat dans l'assiette, une espèces de syndrome De la Tourette culinaire.

Soggiornare all'interno di un monastero ospitato dentro un Castello Aragonese, a Ischia Ponte, è un sogno meraviglioso. Location stupenda, panorami fantastici possibiltà di visitare gratuitamente il bellissimo Castello. Ci sono stata per la prima volta nel giugno del 2001...ci tornerò al più presto!

Map

Ischia, Castello Aragonese. Here, within the walls of the island's imposing Aragon castle, lies the former Monastery of S. Maria della Consolazione, which today houses Albergo Il Monastero. A hotel in which to experience not only Ischia's thermal water and the sea, but the history of the island too.

From the terraces, the view extends from the village of Ischia Ponte to the foot of the castle, and the port of Ischia, from where to board boats to the nearby island of Procida, Naples, Pozzuoli and, during the summer, Sorrento, Capri and the towns of the Amalfi Coast.
