Guest Reviews
- Fabio (10/5): -
- Gemma (10/5): Tutto perfetto -
- Céline (9/5): Séjour très agréable en tout points de vue, j'aimerai déjà y retourner - La piscine était très grande, et à température très agréable La propreté était à son comble. J'ai adoré le décor extérieur : un magnifique potager, une superbe piscine, d'impressionnantes montagnes, un ravissant bâtiment, et une belle petite église à l'entrée. rien
- daniel (10/5): natura , verdele inconjurator - ne-a placut foarte mult ca hotelul avea piscina mare
- Militsa (10/5): Mediterranean paradise - It's such a beautiful place! As soon as you enter, you simultaneously feel at home and on your best Mediterranean vacation! We booked a ground level apartment, which turned out to be quite spacious, as well as the bathroom, with direct access to the garden and near the pool, also near the outdoor dining space where the vending machines are. Several nights we stayed in and had a salad on the veranda, when a cute cat came to visit twice. Indeed, we took advantage of the provided vegetables from the garden (great cherry tomatoes) - you can find those on a trolley cart near the vending machines. The bed was super comfortable for us, there was AC as well, the window shutters worked well for stopping the sun when needed and for some cross-ventilation at the same time. For almost all the time we used a scooter to move around the island, so everything was quite easy to access, plus there are some parking spaces at the property. The supermarket in Panza was about 10 min away with the scooter, bakeries - even 5 min away. We had to climb the hill only once on foot, but it turned out not to be that bad. A bus stop is right on the main street, where the incline starts. At the property, there are the phone numbers of several stores where you can order groceries to be delivered, also you can order delivery from a pizzeria. I am extremely happy we stayed at San Domenico, it was an amazing place and starting point to discover the island! The location must be taken into account when booking, as it may be too much of a climb for some. I actually have to admit that this exact location is what provided such tranquility, so not an issue for me. Also, you better bring your own water. There are only small bottles of water available to purchase in the vending machines. Finally, beware of the mosquitoes - well, they are almost everywhere on the island anyways.
- Marek (9/5): -
- Анна (10/5): -
- Claire (9/5): Excellent - La propreté et la gentillesse de Maria qui parle français
Le jardin est magnifique ainsi que la piscine.
Et le petit plus des légumes du jardin pour les locataires ! La route pour y parvenir
- Lucrezia (8/5): Relax e natura - Posto immerso nella natura, molto tranquillo e in una zona comoda per visitare l'isola. Molto bella la piscina e i tavolini per mangiare o fare un'aperitivo fuori, ambiente ottimo per rilassarsi. Personale gentile e disponibile. Ci tornerei sicuramente! L'appartamento dove abbiamo soggiornato andrebbe un po' svecchiato, soprattutto i bagni,per migliorare la qualità della struttura.
- ROBERTA (9/5): -
- Barbazita (10/5): - Siamo stati in questo residence e ci siamo trovati davvero benissimo! L’appartamento era spazioso, pulito e con la cucina super comoda per prepararci qualcosa quando non avevamo voglia di uscire. La piscina è tenuta benissimo, l’acqua sempre pulita e con tanto spazio intorno per rilassarsi al sole.
Bellissimi anche gli spazi all’aperto, curati e tranquilli, perfetti per mangiare fuori o semplicemente stare a chiacchierare la sera. Una menzione speciale va al personale: tutti gentili e disponibili. niente
- Monika (10/5): Wspaniały pobyt - Bardzo wygodny, przestronny, nieskazitelnie czysty apartament. Przepiękne położenie .
- Luana (8/5): -
- Chloé (9/5): -
- Guillaume (10/5): Peaceful stay in San Domenico. - Very nice residence, very quiet with a gorgeous swimming pool and gardens. Maria and Federica were really nice, responsive, and helpful (they helped us organise scooter rental - delivered on the premise!).
Would definitely come again next time in Ischia!
- Alessandro (9/5): -
- Mariateresa (9/5): -
- Lauren (6/5): Underwhelming stay :( - San Domenico was our last stay in Italy as part of a four week trip and unfortunately was the most disappointing accommodation. I have never written a negative review before but this residence did not meet our expectations at all and we left feeling very disappointed.
Positives: the pool and gardens are beautiful and very well kept. The views from the pool are lovely and there is occasionally fresh produce left for guests to use. The bedroom has air con which made the apartment nice and comfortable.
Negatives: the apartment was very basic. The bathroom is very outdated and was a slip hazard for our toddler. We were left two towels and one toilet roll for a week stay as a family of three. Yes it s self catering but we have done this many times before and have been provided with basics. The location became a real issue for us with a buggy and no car. We knew it was up a hill which is fine, we don’t mind walking but the bends with no pavement and fast traffic meant it was dangerous at times walking into the town centre with our daughter. The buses were regular but we only managed to get on two due to them being so full. Due to these reasons, this is the only accommodation from a month in Italy that I wouldn’t recommend at all.
- SERGIO (10/5): - Il silenzio la posizione la piscina e la gentilezza dei titolari posto consegnato
- Nigro (10/5): -
- Michelle (10/5): - Beautiful gardens and a nice pool
- Gio (10/5): - È già il secondo anno che trascorriamo le nostre vacanze in questa splendida struttura, la cosa cha amiamo di più e la sensazione di sentirci a casa grazie a Maria e alla sua splendida famiglia sempre disponibili e presenti. Nulla
- Adrian (10/5): -
- Karim (10/5): Beautiful and relaxing. - The environment was amazing. Views of the volcano and partly of the sea. The pool area with views and the rooms was also a major plus. The staff was so sweet and helpful. Everything was clean and pleasant. Looking forward to coming back. Nothing. Everything was exceptional.
- Waleed (10/5): Perfect - This hotel is truly a special place – more like an oasis than just accommodation. The view of the mountains is absolutely breathtaking, and the facilities are flawless. It had everything we needed and more. Most of all, it felt like home.
- Raluca (10/5): Exceptional -
- Michael (9/5): Great place, great people, highly reccomend! - Super peaceful location back from the noise of road and town, set in a beautiful garden/vineyard with the mountain in the background. The family who runs it were great hosts and great people. There's a vending machine with snacks, coffee and beer(!) and a really nice pool to cool down in after a long day. There are some really good restaurants just further up the hill, and there are your more standard fair in Citara just a 20 minute walk down the hill. You can also get a 5 minutes bus to Forio. The location is perfect for all the things to see on the West of the island, The cactus garden, the thermal baths at Poseidon, or a bit further up on the bus at Negombo, and all the beaches. This hill is a thing, might be a struggle if you're elderly or with kids, but cars and mopeds can get up there so maybe renting one would be advised in that case. However the island is very hilly anyway, and I was used to hiking so wasn't so bad for me.
- John (10/5): Exceptional - Very clean, good quality bed linen,towels etc. peaceful location great pool. Delightful and well maintained gardens
- James (10/5): A great spot for a group of friends, or family! - We had a wonderful trip! We rented 3 apartments with a total of 10 people. There were other people staying in other apartments, but the location of the pool and the garden made us feel like we had our own villa! There is a vending machine with cornetto and coffees if you need it, but self catering without a car will require trips to town in a taxi which costs around 15-20 euro. The kitchen is well stocked with equipment but make sure to bring the essentials like oil, salt, coffee etc. There is a mocha and a drip coffee machine and the apartment comes with toilet paper and soap. The staff was very easy to communicate with and friendly, we would gladly stay again! The island is beautiful and the property is very well taken care of. Thanks for everything! Everything was great.
- Jana (10/5): Beautiful house in a lovely environment full of flowers, great swimming pool, wonderful hosts. -
- Wojciech (10/5): The facility fully met our expectations. - Location. The facility is located in a large beautiful garden, away from the street noise. Everything was great!
- Louise (9/5): Superb - set in beautiful surroundings, this is a remarkable unique place to stay. There is a beautiful clean pool and lots of space to relax. The apartments are simple but well equipped. The staff are so lovely! Would definitely return. Fairly remote so make sure you bring any food/drink you might need!
- Will (10/5): Perfect getaway retreat - This is a superb property in a great location. Everything is excellent, and Maria is so helpful. We only stayed 3 days but plan to come again for longer. At first we thought the hill was a worry but when we’d walked it once both up and down and knew what to expect it wasn’t an issue - it looks worse than it is!
- Heng (10/5): A wonderful place to stay if you're exploring the western side of Ischia. - Location was perfect and all the facilities were as advertised. Maria and Frederica were extremely helpful and hospitable hosts. Nothing
- Kristine (10/5): Perfect getaway - The view from the room was stunning, the stuff friendly, locally grown vegetables, new pool. This place is a gem! —
- Joe (10/5): Exceptional - Lovely residence with nice pool and bbq area. Loads of fresh food plants
- Lisa (10/5): Exceptional - Residence San Domenico is a beautiful place! Our studio was very comfortable and clean, the grounds luscious and exotic, the pool a joy on a hot day. Maria, her husband and their staff were all very friendly and accommodating, and we hope to return someday:))
- Conor (10/5): Exceptional -
- Jana (10/5): Exceptional - This place is absolutely great, located in a beautiful place, surrounded by gardens. The pool so clean, apartment had everything needed, clean and modern. Maria is a lovely person always willing to help with anything. We loved it there! nothing
- Ann (10/5): Totally satisfied! - The location: so peaceful. The studio: fully equipped and roomy with modern furniture. The pool area was delightful. Everything so clean and tidy everywhere. The host was friendly without being invasive and offered us a bottle of wine on arrival. The thoughtful gesture of help yourself to vegetables was also much appreciated. We will definitely be back! Nothing……. heaven on earth!
- Elly (10/5): Incredible, beautiful, perfect spot! - San Domenico is a beautiful place run by amazing people. The hotel is away from the busy streets surrounded by green tropical plants so it's super peaceful and a beautiful place. The staff (especially Frederica + Maria) are wonderful ladies and made so much effort to help us when needed. They even grow their own vegetables and herbs and put in a bowl every day for guests to help themselves to. You'd be a fool if you didn't stay here when visiting Ischia, I couldn't recommend this place more!
- Andreas (10/5): Exceptional -
- Gabrielle (10/5): Beautiful oasis to relax amongst kindness and wonderful hospitality - Lovely hosts and staff, the grounds and the facilities are all pristine and spotless - you can just tell how much they care for and look after this place. It is a peaceful oasis away from the town and is perfect for anyone after a relaxing break. The rooms were of a great size and so clean - with a terrace/balcony for each room which drying racks/pegs/chairs and table outside. Our room had a sofa, kitchen, dining table, double bed, wardrobe space with at least 6 hangers, and a sizeable bathroom with a shower. They were growing oranges, lemons, herbs and vegetables on site and there were plenty of cute little cats around, very chill and playful. The breakfast was simple but lovely, just to tell Maria or her daughter the day before if you would like breakfast the next day. They have soft drinks like coffee and pastries available. There are inside seats and also a few tables on a balcony with a lovely view. Honestly if you don’t mind the walk up the hill and are after a relaxing stay I would recommend this place. There is a fairly steep hill you need to walk up to get the hotel approximately 5 minutes uphill walking but this is par for the course in Ischia. The bus stop at the bottom can take you easily into Forio town, the beach nearby to Poseidon thermal spa, or any of the towns on the island. The buses are very reliable and cheap, I recommend taking these over taxis as the taxis are very expensive here.
- Robert (8/5): Beautiful property ran by amazing ladies - Beautiful property run by a lovely lady who was so so friendly and made us feel very welcome. The pool area and gardens are immaculately kept and the apartment itself was spotlessly clean. The cleaning ladies were so friendly too :) it’s very peaceful and relaxing due to the location. The property is up a very steep and winding road which wouldn’t have been a problem except my partner was 5 months pregnant and we had a toddler to push in a buggy too so it became a real chore! I’d strongly recommend hiring a car if this might be a problem for you.
- Vicky (10/5): Relaxed stay in Ischia. - I loved the fact that is was away from the main road in a beautiful peaceful garden. Nothing
- Melanie (10/5): Spotless, peaceful and so pretty - This is the cleanest place we have ever stayed in! Maria the host is a wonderful lady, living on site. She was so helpful and lovely to talk to. The grounds are immaculately kept and just delightful. It is possible to order takeaway pizza and groceries to the property, and there is a lovely restaurant just up the hill (5mins walk) The bus that goes around the island (and to most places) is at the bottom of the hill. The hill is a lovely walk. We are early 60s, reasonably fit and did it in less than 10 minutes going up.
- Eric (4/5): Pictures are not what you'll get - We booked a room that had a beautiful terrace looking onto the garden but the room they gave us was in the back so it got no light and the terrace faced a wall. We complained and they said the photos online are just examples. Not good value for money and the photos are deceiving.
- Iuliia (10/5): place with real Italian vibe - This is our 3rd stay in SanDomenico and next time we will also stay only in Maria's house :).
What we like so much here:
- hospitable hosts
- beautiful green area with citrus orchard
- swimming pool
- rooms of different sizes
The famous Poseidon Gardens - up to 10 minutes by car and up to 30 minutes on foot.
Incredible Ravino cactus garden 10-15 minutes walk (next to the bus stop). What might be a disadvantage for other tourists:
the path with a rather steep climb from the bus stop to the residence can become exhausting.
For us it was not a problem and the walking time from the bus stop up to the residence was 10 minutes.
- Belinda (9/5): Superb - Beautiful gardens with an amazing pool.
- Anonymous (10/5): Would recommend everytime! Amazing staff, facilities and location . Thankyou San Domenico - The views from the start are incredible! From the pathway to the room, all of the lemon & orange trees, the friendly cats, and the amazing views of the hills around are amazing. Maria and everyone at the property are extremely helpful and friendly We liked everything!
- Charlotte (10/5): Exceptional - very peaceful set in the mountains with good restaurants within walking distance. good size apartments with everything you need. lovey friendly staff
- Ida (10/5): amazing facility, nice staff - Very Nice hotel and staff. Quiet area. Clean and cozy apartment. Awesome pool and garden area. The road from the bus til the hotel is steep but only takes 5-10 minutes. The bus runs frequently so it is okay.
- Richard (9/5): A lovely apartment in beautiful surroundings. - A truly beautiful place! We were given a spacious studio apartment with terrace and access to the swimming pool. Maria was a welcoming host and we were grateful for the complimentary bottle of wine. At times we had the pool to ourselves and the environment was peaceful. The gardens were a pleasure to wander in. As other reviews will testify, the property is up a steep and windy hill. However there are regular buses which take you all over the island from the bottom of this hill. We felt there could have been some basic food and drink items in our kitchen when we arrived. Fresh sheets and towels were left outside during our stay but there were no replacement toiletries provided and no room cleaning occurred.
- Salvatore (9/5): puro relax, staff gentile e disponibile - location perfetta piscina top arredamento un po’ datato
- John (8/5): Very good -
- Danielle (10/5): Enchanting home away from home - An absolutely beautiful place to spend nine days. Maria is charming and friendly, the little apartment was beautiful and well kept. The pool is lovely! We'd never thought of renting a place with a pool but this was a bonus. We especially appreciated how helpful Maria was, no matter what time we called her for assistance, and when we had trouble arranging shopping, she stepped in to help immediately. She speaks both German and English, so communication was good. The cleaning lady was also incredibly helpful and offered to do things we simply didn't expect her to. The family, who lives nearby, were also exceptionally friendly. We're so grateful for such hospitality and felt so at home. Wished we had a month to spend there!
