Beautiful gardens with private space, very peaceful. Better suited to guests with younger members as the pools are slightly cooler. Nice places to eat and shopping opportunities. The pools are naturalistic and might be tricky for people with mobility or sight issues,(lots of unlevel steps in and out of the water) But I really wouldn't let that put you off. This place is stunning and I'd definitely recommend spending a day there.

We've been in Naples for six days. On the seventh day we rested here. Fabulous retreat. The thermal baths were divine.

Came here on a super rainy day and it was beautiful! It is EMPTY at the beginning of October. The pools up on the cliffside were magical. Would return again! Only small downside is that if you rent a towel (8euros), to get a dry one (and it was pouring the whole time) you have to pay again. I understand but it seemed like a little bit of a cash grab since the park is already 90+ euros for two people.

Beautiful place but some disappointments. - The setting is extraordinary and without equal. The beach is perfect. It is a 20 minute And 30 Euro taxi ride from the main port. - All over Italy, water fountains are running and plentiful. Not at Negombo. Despite paying the equivalent of over $100 for 2 people, the only drinking water available is for sale. Stating hydrated after thermal baths is important, and Negombo makes you pay. - You pay the equivalent of $10 more to rent a single towel. Plus a $15 deposit on the towel that is returned to you as you give the wet towel back. But their refusal to exchange a soaking wet cold towel for a fresh dry one after you have used it all day is a surprisingly stingy element if the operation. - The squatting toilets are unpleasant and challenging for many. If management could simply address the 3 issues above (water, towels and toilets), this would be a 5 star experience.

A brilliant thermal spa and beach place. It costs €100 for 2 adults for a full day but there’s lot a to see with many thermal pools a great beach and normal pool’s. Lots of facilities on site including toilets and changing rooms. Lockers are free but cost you a returnable €20 deposit. Your entry price includes 2 subbed 2 deck chairs and an umbrella. Towels cost to hire so bring your own. Several restaurants on site nothing too pricey. Lots of locals do it must be good. Plenty of undercover parking and in the Italian summer that’s worth it. Easy to get from Ischia Porto on a regular bus service €5 for a full day bus pass!

This park is supposedly “kid friendly.” First there are no pools where young kids can walk around. One kid pool is 5 feet deep and other one is approx 4. I guess if your kids are 10+ then yes, but otherwise for younger kids, no. Poseidon is much better with pools for younger kids. There are good staff and very rude staff. My young son needed a toilet with a seat and there was one which the employee refused to open. Tl:dr: go to Poseidon if you have young kids. This park is not kid friendly and some staff are quite rude. If you want to go to the beach, just walk further to free beach and if you want t shade, there is free shade along the cliffs.

This is a beautiful resort. The spectacular beauty of the setting, the way all of the processes and the recreation areas are set up, the quality of the food & drinks, and the very nature of the wonderful thermal salt water pools are all terrific and enjoyable. It is a calm and enjoyable place, as it is spread out across many separate areas, yet easy to get around and enjoy the variety of settings and pools. There was nothing that I did not like about our visit. A total relaxing and amazing experience!

Nice beach, quiet but less clean water. But nice spot especially together with Negombo 👍🏼

Nice beach with moderately steady slope for younger kids. There is free shade along shade if you don’t have umbrella next to cliffs. Water is clean and not rough bc in cove

Beach itself spreading in two parts. Arroun 70% private (you have to pay) and 30% public (for free). We used free on, they including toilets. The shade from the mountains come first on the free beach. It’s very great with kids, you need to walk little bit in the water to not feel sand under you feet. It’s very lovely. We are visiting in mid September so it’s not crowded. Recommend

Way too expensive for such basic service. No side tables, no lockers. Umbrellas are not adjustable. Owners should invest more into the facilities, not just raise the prices

Very nice beach. We liked it as I can’t swim but it’s shallow enough for me to be able to touch the ground with my feet quite far out. Half of it has sun loungers to rent and half of it is just free with no sun loungers etc. There’s also a small bar serving aperol spritz, beers etc. We got there via bus. It’s a bit of a walk down but not half as bad as it looks as it’s mostly some steps and then a restive flat path, so if you don’t mind a ten min walk and a short bit with steps, it’s fine to get to from the bus. We went fairly late and stayed til gone 7pm, when the water was still warm enough.

The beach says free but actually it’s only a small area of sand where you can sit down and it’s crowded and dirty. The umbrellas are 60€ per day which is insane and you cannot even sit down on the sand because they send you away.The staff is rude and the whole beach is really not worth visiting.

A very nice beach in Ischia, nice water and views. Went on Saturday, not crowded even if beach it's not that big. €50 for 2 sunbeds for whole day or €25 after 2pm. There are clean showers for which you have to pay a small fee, changing rooms and clean toilets. Definitely one of the best beaches on the island if you prefer to have 'space'. Only one snack bar which is a bit pricey for what they offer.

While the beauty and care with which the gardens have been cultivated are truly admirable, my visit was unfortunately overshadowed by the fact that smoking is permitted within the grounds. Allowing visitors to smoke in such a serene, carefully preserved natural environment is not only detrimental to the air quality and atmosphere but also deeply detracts from the experience for those who come seeking peace, beauty, and inspiration. The gardens, created over many years with such dedication and vision, deserve to be enjoyed in a setting that respects their tranquility and ecological integrity. Sadly, the presence of cigarette smoke made it difficult to fully appreciate the space and ambiance that Sir William Walton and Lady Susana Walton so lovingly brought to life. I strongly urge the Foundation to reconsider its policy on smoking within the gardens. Implementing a non-smoking rule would preserve the healthful environment, enhance the experience for all visitors, and align more closely with the spirit of harmony and reflection that La Mortella was clearly intended to embody.

Gorgeous gardens (ticket 12 €), quite large, so you will spend some time here. There is even a small cafe bar with some food right under the Greek theater (you can also find toilets here, next to the theater). We also caught the concert in the evening from 9:00 PM to 11:00 PM and the ticket cost only 8 €. Fallowing the song for parking and ticket office if you are by car (around 1 km from down, another entrance by foot).

This is a must-visit-place if you visit Ischia! The place is incredible, and there's so many wonderful, beautiful and unique places. Make sure to have plenty of time, and it is a big garden and theres quite a lot of walking, paths up and down, elevations and stairs. At the very top and bottom, trees offer you a bit of shade and fresh air. The the levels in between, the sun and stairs can make it an incredibly warm experience. Make sure to bring water and something for your blood sugar if it is a very warm day. The place is relatively easy to reach by public transportation. Parking is a bit more tricky, however if you enjoy a slightly challenging drive on small roads there's a small parking lot at the very top of the garden.

If you’ve visited botanical gardens in other major cities (500,000+ population), this one won’t surprise you — it’s pleasant, but quite standard. Plan for about an hour to see everything. One important tip: there are a lot of tiger mosquitoes here. If you’re not familiar with them, look them up and make sure to bring repellent — it will make your visit much more enjoyable.

A stunning set of gardens. Tranquil and inspiring. We also enjoyed an outdoor concert one evening whichbwas also a joy with all the scent from the garden mixing in with the frogs chorus from the ponds. Cant recommend more highly. Wegot there for when it opened at 9 as it was cooler and less busy.

Definitely worth the price and super nice to get some shade in there when it's super hot outside. Make sure to keep in mind the guided tour groups that might arrive on the daily around 10:30-11-30am

We visited the garden with friends and were not disappointed. There was so much to see and didn't manage to see the whole garden. What we did see was beautiful and very colourful. The frogs even treated us to a different type of concert as they stayed hidden amongst the lillies. If you have mobility issues then you may not get to see the whole garden as there are lots of steps. Each plant or tree was labelled to show where in the world they originate from. There is a lovely cafe and shop. At the time of visiting, there was a concert going on, which was an additional cost. We were pleasantly surprised how beautiful the gardens are and thoroughly recommend visiting them.

Ask for a pasta dish that wasn't on the menu, and we got it! Rigatoni alla bolognesa! Amazing and tasted amazing - we came again for lunch the two days after! Tomatosalat, super tasty- great tomato, onions and mozerella! Localvine was amazing too! And the prices - nothing to complain about and the staff was so good! 5 stars and many more! The best place to eat 🫶

Great food(good variety as well), excellent service and a nice and cozy atmosphere! The staff is very polite and friendly. Giuseppe(Peppe), our waiter is the best. Always smiling, always there if you need anything. I'm actually a bit sad/upset that we ate at another place the other night since we wanted to try something else. No need to try something else. This family restaurant is everything you need.

What an amazing restaurant!! The atmosphere is so romantic and laid back while the staff is very welcoming and attentive. The food is delicious and comes out quickly. We were staying at a local resort right across the street for our honeymoon. We ate here for at least three meals because the food and the ambiance was just that good. It is also cheap and has a good selection of wine!

Best restaurant in Ischia Island. Delicious fish and seafood dishes . Must try lemon spaghetti simple and delicious.

We had a great lunch, good service and food! Prices are good. We just missed the wow factor. Still i strongly recommend to grab a bite!😊

The best bruschetta I’ve EVER tasted. Really lovely friendly staff who welcomed us everyday we came during our few days trip. Very good value for lovely fresh food

Bruschetta with anchovies was delicious. Staff were very attentive and friendly. One of the nicest restaurants in the area!

I spent a wonderful five nights at Botania Relias & Spa and I can't recommend it highly enough. This place truly is an oasis of greenery and tranquility - exactly what I needed for a peaceful getaway. What makes this hotel special are the countless little private hideaways scattered throughout the property. I loved discovering the outdoor cabana beds charming benches tucked into quiet corners and even swings where you can just sit and breathe. It's like having your own secret Garden with multiple spots to find your perfect moment of Zen. The staff were incredibly accommodating and hospitable throughout my stay. They really made me feel welcomed and cared for. The food was another highlight, the nuance of flavours and artistry in each dish was remarkable. The 3 day a week Yoga sessions with Luisa were absolutely fantastic too. The live music was also top notch - an unexpected welcomed addition to my experience. The proximity to the thermal baths was the perfect bonus, making it so convenient to enjoy the full wellness experience without hassle. If your looking for a high quality place to truly replenish your vitality and find some peace, Botania Relais and Spa is absolutely ideal. I will definitely be back.

Our stay at Botania Relais was pure magic from start to finish. The staff went above and beyond to make us feel special, and they even surprised us with an upgrade to a stunning suite with a private pool. The service is truly 5-star; every detail and every interaction felt luxurious and personal. The property itself is truly remarkable, surrounded by lush greenery, beautiful flowers, and a profound sense of peace. It feels like a hidden paradise. I only had the chance to try one of the restaurants, Il Corbezzolo, but it turned out to be the best meal of my entire vacation. The food and ambiance were phenomenal. Botania Relais exceeded all expectations. I can’t wait to come back!

From the moment we arrived, we knew we’d discovered something special. While the property isn’t situated directly on the beach, that turned out to be a blessing in disguise. Nestled among vibrant gardens and lush greenery, the setting felt peaceful, secluded, and refreshingly different from the typical beachfront resort experience. If you do want some sand and sea, a beautiful beach is just a short five-minute stroll away—easy and convenient. But honestly, we found ourselves completely enchanted by the grounds. The landscaping is stunning, the atmosphere is serene, and everything feels thoughtfully curated. One of the standout aspects of our stay was the staff. Every person we interacted with was genuinely kind, attentive, and committed to making our experience memorable. It’s rare to come across such consistently warm and detail-oriented service. The food was fresh and clean, the ambiance was calming, and every moment felt like a breath of fresh air. We’re leaving with full hearts and already dreaming of our return. This has, without question, become one of our favorite places we’ve ever stayed.

Our stay at Botania was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment we arrived we were made to feel like part of the family. Anything that we requested was met with ease, such as transfers, reservations & recommendations. Our room was gorgeous, the bedding perfect (I haven’t slept that good even in my own bed), the food for breakfast, lunch & dinner was divine. Norma’s served the best meatballs I’ve had in my life!! Highly recommend Botania.

Best hotel in all of Ischia! We absolutely loved our stay here. My husband and I stayed for a week in May as we were in need of a very relaxing vacation. The property is gorgeous and truly a place to rejuvenate and relax.The staff was exceptional, the food was phenomenal, and everything was truly amazing. We really couldn’t recommend this place more. From the indoor and outdoor gyms, the pool, the access to the beach, the spa, and thermal pools, we felt secluded, taken care of, and so at peace. We can’t wait to go back!

Botania Relais & Spa in Ischia felt like staying in a real-life garden paradise. Everywhere you look, it’s green and peaceful. The breakfast buffet and restaurants were incredible — some of the best food we had on the island. The service was flawless and genuinely warm. We fell in love with both Ischia and this hotel, and honestly couldn’t have asked for a better stay.

The most dreamy hotel! Absolutely beautiful and breathtaking. Everything is so peaceful und enjoyable. The food is unbelievably tasty, the breakfast has be the best breakfast I have ever experienced at a hotel. Everything is just fresh! My favourite thing on the menu ist for sure the white melanzane. Everyone who has a chance to go to botania should do it! I truly recommend 💛💛

Possibly the best restaurant I have been to in Italy. Service and food top quality. Price appropriate. Would come back in a blink.

An amazing place, with delicious food and incredible hospitality! We had lunch at Saturnino and finally got to taste the local rabbit anf were totally charmed. Thank you, you are doin a great job! Also, I need to mention the bathroom, because not only was it beautifully decorated, but the “melograno” fragrance from Dr. Vranjes made it like a magic place.

Best food we had in ischia. The service was great, super friendly staff. Delicious food and well priced. We highly recommend. We took the rabbit which was amazing, the octopus and the swordfish.

From start to finish the experience was divine. View beautiful, service amazing and food divine.

This is my favorite restaurant on Ischia. This was actually the second time we ate here, and it was even better than two years ago. We had the set menu, portions were generous and each of the courses had distinct flavours. We paired it with a lovely bottle of a local natural wine (Bajola). Our dinner was genuinely exciting and outpaced the other Michelin guide restaurant in the town of Forio. When we return to Ischia, returning here is a no-brainer!

Everything was delicious. Tasty and yet delicate. The restaurant is curated into the very details, looking perfect for any kind of event. The staff is attentive and nice.

We had chef’s tasting menu (4 courses and dessert,65€) - it was amazing, super innovative fish dishes. If you want a non-standard Italian dining experience, I highly recommend it. The service was also excellent- friendly, polite, with dishes coming one after the other but not too quickly. Enjoyed it a lot. You have to reserve in advance in a summer season because there aren’t so many tables and it gets full!
