Aragona Palace Hotel & Spa

My travel agent and I didn't know anything about the Isle of Ischia. So we chose the Aragona Palace Hotel just by chance. I went there for a couple days between tours. The hotel is right on the port of Ischia, about 200 meters from where the ferry arrives. Because we didn't know this, we booked a transfer. The driver must have had a chuckle over this :) It's easily walkable even with a 20kg suitcase on wheels. I really liked the hotel. I was on the top floor, near the pool, which was a thermal pool. My room looked out over the port and there was always something to see. It wasn't too noisy. It's located near all the shops and other restaurants so it's easy to wander around the area. There is the Castle Aragonese not too far away. I walked it but it took about 1/2 hour at a pretty good clip. Some people may prefer a taxi or similar. There are many other thinsgs to see and do on the island. It's a lovely island. I took a local bus around the whole island. There is another popular area called Forio, located on the other side of the island. This is where many of the spa hotels are. For me, I liked the Port location. But I think 3-4 days are all you need unless you really want to use the spas. The room was comfortable but excellent. Hence my 4 star rating. Could be 4.5 if that was an option on Trip Advisor. The reception staff at the hotel were excellent. Very helpful. I hope you enjoy your stay like I did.
