Everything was perfect during our stay. We’ve been many times in the Amalfi Coast and in Capri (albeit not in Ischia), and we never felt so special and welcome in a place as much as we did here at Botania. The care, the detail, the attention of everyone made our stay unforgettable and truly unique. We’ve booked for next year already and we’re counting the days!

If I had to pick something, the prices in the hotel restaurants are more expensive than the rest of the island.

The hotel is in an incredible setting, the staff are wonderful and go the extra mile. Really enjoyed our stay and have no real complaints

We staid 9 nights and ate 8 days there - the quality/ price relation doesn't fit. The kitchen tries to produce artificial / modern dishes, which didn't meet our expectations - we think "less is more". Breakfast was very good but it seems that the fruit juices are diluted with water. On the last three mornings it was stinking a lot - an awful smell. We asked the reception and they pretended not to smell it [other guests had the same experience]. This was not very professionell. The opportunities for a long stay are limited - for a hotel with about 100 guests the options in the very small Spa are too less [especially in bad weather].

The location, the beautiful garden, very friendly staff, quiet swimming pool area, good service, the very good breakfast at all.

Natural beauty and service was exceptional.

The fact that we couldn’t bring our grandchildren onto the property. The reason we can to Ischia was to see them. Not even to our room

The environment

Stayed in June 2025

The grounds are beautiful, a place of tranquility. The breakfast was one of the best we’ve experienced in a boutique size hotel. Service was impeccable. Shuttle service to Forio and Lacco Ameno was good albeit it finished at 9pm which was a little early.

Dinner options within the hotel felt limited given we were staying 3 nights

Modern facilities, great location just a short walk from the beach

The free shuttle service into town shuts down every day between 1 and 4 in the afternoon, so you need to plan your comings and goings accordingly. It's not like people have no interest in doing anything in the afternoons, and this struck us as odd. We used it to go to the nearby Mortella botanical garden, which is open all day. Because we had scheduled our pick-up at 12:45 we had to wait for 30 minutes at the garden entrance to be picked up. There was probably a rush of people all wanting to be picked up at that same time before the shuttle service ended for the afternoon.

We had planned to visit Nogombo or Poseidon Water Gardens, but the grounds and hot pools at Botania were so beautiful there was no need to go anywhere else. The small thermal pools situated on a terrace above the resort must be the best kept secret, because we always had them to ourselves...so idyllic! Likewise the opportunity to soak in the huge indoor hot tub in private splendor was fabulous. We canceled our dining reservations in town after sampling the excellent cuisine in the restaurant the first night, and indulged ourselves there all three nights of our stay. The breakfast buffet left not one single thing to be desired -- all delicious. We felt pampered by the staff, and surrounded by luxury the whole time at this fabulous resort!

Con: It does not have adjacent/direct beach access (perhaps a perk when one visits an island), as other luxury hotels might, but there are nearby beaches that are easily accessible.

Pros: Excellent service--a special shoutout to Lorenzo in the front desk for his kindness and resourcefulness. We were offered a room upgrade on arrival and the room was well-located and very comfortable, with an outside garden terrace and a private jacuzzi. Great hotel location (in Lacco Ameno, northwest of the island). I loved the ambiance, given the lush greenery in and around the property (honoring its name). The bed and pillows were very comfortable. We did not use the spa facilities, but they looked great, including a thermal pool. Its restaurant, Il Mirto, is vegetarian and top-notch; it has been awarded a Michelin Green star. Fair price, compared to other luxury hotels in the island/region.

Lovely grounds, pool and staff were friendly and efficient and couldn’t have been more helpful. We decided to change rooms and the staff were extremely accommodating until we had the room which suited us.

Stayed in August 2024

Quality and price of evening meal - very disappointing small and very expensive not value for money

Relaxed ambience - every detail thought of with the visitor comfort in mind. High quality and delicious breakfast. Pool ambient and a lovely place to relax. All round first class experience.

The beautiful setting, the quality of food in the restaurants, the staff who always went over and above to make sure we were looked after. Nothing was too much trouble. Special mention to Nico who took such good care of us.

High standard of food, staff and amenities offered by the hotel. I have been to many amazing facilities in the world, but this one is one of the most interesting I have had the opportunity to visit. If someone is looking for peace surrounded by nature and unobtrusive staff, they have found the right option for their stay. I recommend it to anyone who appreciates unique places!

Loved everything!

Everything about this property was beautiful. The staff were so accommodating and couldn’t help enough. We had the greatest time at our Napoletana cooking class with Chef Tommaso. Will definitely return.

Lush gardens and landscaping around the property. The vegan restaurant is one of the best dining experiences I've ever had. Kind staff. Great breakfast. Honestly its hard to want to leave the property to go explore other parts of Ischia.

Our biggest complaint was the number of bees in the breakfast area each morning. Then breakfast was wonderful but the amount of bees swarming around as we ate was just not pleasant.

Beautiful property. This hotel is absolutely gorgeous, comfortable and clean. The breakfast buffet has tons of fresh and delicious options, staff was extraordinarily helpful in arranging ferry transfers, car rentals, and dinner reservations. The location was lovely, just a 5 minute drive to Forio. We loved getting apertivo by the pool or at the bar every night before dinner.
