About this property

A luxury apartment with a breathtaking sea view

This charming cottage overlooking the beautiful bay of Cartaromana and the Aragonese castle, boasts a breathtaking view of the Tyrrhenian coast, the Vesuvius and the other islands of the gulf of Naples.
The house is part of a small and quiet private property of four villas, ideally located between sea and sky and surrounded by Mediterranean flowers and plants with brilliant colours.
On the spacious front terrace, with sundeck chairs and a table, there are 2 independent front doors, one leading to the living room and one to the main bedroom.
This one-level cottage is divided in the living-room, with a double sofa bed and a self contained kitchen, two bedrooms (one double and one twin bedded) and two shower bathrooms.
The house is totally and tastefully restored with features and colours typical of this sunny land.
The position, the landscape, the refined furniture make the house a first class holiday cottage.
You could be tempted of staying at home all the time, just sunbathing in the terrace, enjoying the astonishing view! But if you fancy going out sightseeing, the island of Ischia is waiting for you to show all its beauty: the cosy fishermen villages, the sandy beaches, the famous thermal parks.
Besides you can easily reach Procida, Capri and Naples from Ischia Porto by ferry or hydrofoil.

We found heaven in Ischia!

The villa was everything we hoped for and more. Spacious, with all the amenities, the view from the patio is breath-taking. There were days we just enjoyed the sun and warmth and view for a relaxing day. Massimo was so helpful and the restaurants and Island activities he recommended were excellent. Lots of restaurants within walking distance but peace and quiet and tranquility when you are at the villa. I would rate this whole trip 10/10 if I could.

Week get away

Massimo 's place on Ischia is 5 stars and him and his wife Anna provided best in class check in process. They both greeted my wife an I upon arrival and gave us a comprehensive review of their place and recommendations of places to eat and things to do. Il Giardino was a great recommendation for pizza. All you need is within walking distance. I would go back to this island oasis again and again. Thanks again Massimo and Anna.

Pictures Worth A Thousand Words

We had the most wonderful stay for our anniversary at this lovely home. Massimo was by far the best host we've ever encountered. He personally greeted us at the home (and coordinated a time in advance to make sure we met) and went over everything in amazing detail. He shared great insight into the island (things to do, how to rent a car/scooter, where to eat, bus schedule/maps, etc.). We were so grateful! Massimo was very communicative during our stay. He was very available and approachable. He truly made us feel like we were at a home for vacation. The house speaks for itself. The view is just breathtaking. The area is extremely quiet. It is truly the perfect evening to sit on the patio and just enjoy the view with a glass of wine and some snacks. The house is extremely well-appointed, there is everything you need to make your stay comfortable. It was so nice to have the kitchen well-stocked and no dire need to go to the grocery to get things like napkins, soap, shampoo, etc. The house feels like a calming oasis after sight-seeing all day. The walk to Ischia Ponte is very easy and the bus does come every 30mins or so. The bus is extremely easy and everyone is very willing to help. We rented a car for a few days at the end of the trip because it was helpful to get around a little quicker to locations further away vs using the bus. If Massimo would have us, we would love to stay again! Thank you so much for helping us celebrate our 10th wedding anniversary!!

Ischia Beautiful Hideaway

Once again our stay at Massimo and Anna’s was incredible. Everything they provide, in addition to their well kept home, made our stay relaxing and worry free. It goes without saying that the view is do die for!!! So many breathtaking sunrises and sunsets. It’s quiet, away from the hustle and bustle but close enough to get where you want with no hassle. We will return as often as possible.

Three weeks in November

Our stay in this apartment was absolutely wonderful. The place itself is exceptional with a back door view of the castle! The neighborhood is great and the busses stop right in front of the house. Massimo and Ana are uncommonly helpful, organized, and warm. Best experience yet with Yeni and we’ve had some great ones. My only fear is if word gets out it will be harder for us to spend a month next year. The whole experience was artfully done. Bravo!

Incredible stay, beautiful and serene; worth 3X the price

Massimo and Anna live in Naples and this is their 'country' home. It is spectacular. Anna took the ferry from Naples to welcome us and then took it back. Who would do that? Most people living that far away would just have a lock box with a key in it and leave it at that. That in itself tells you what lovely, caring hosts they are. Their place is totally adequate, but what sets it apart is the view from their terrace. Top 1/10 of 1% in the world. Anna apologized that someone had built a castillo on an island right in front of the terrace that obscured our view to the sea. Yes. A 1500 year old castillo. It was spellbinding. You will never tire of that view. Ischia, should you care to venture out, is a very special place. Beautiful for sure, but also loaded with thermal spas where you can soak it all up. I recommend at least a week at this place. Also, I recommend renting a car which can be had for as little as $35 euros a day. Ischia a very special place indeed. 5 Star. And Anna and Massimo's place is the best place to enjoy Ischia. Thank you so much for the privilege of staying at your beautiful place. Mary & Ed

Gewoon alles klopte

De uitzicht vanaf het terras was uniek op elk moment van de dag. De uitleg bij aankomst door Massimo en Anna was vriendelijk en gedetailleerd. Het bed was prima. Wij hebben elke keer weer genoten van het loopje naar Ischia Ponte. Erg relaxed waren de boottochtjes met de watertaxi van Angelo(vanaf Ponte) naar het strandje van Cartaromana. Tijdens een dagje op dit strandje kwamen we helemaal tot rust. Voor ons twee was het de perfecte vakantie met een perfekt appartement!

On a adoré !

Tout était parfait : la maison est très jolie , spacieuse, a tout ce qu’il faut , et même plus , comme équipements en général et comme ustensiles et ingrédients pour la cuisine. La vue de la grande terrasse est extraordinaire sur une partie golfe de Naples , capri , le Vésuve , et le château aragonais. L’emplacement est très calme mais il est facile d’accéder à pied au village ( ça monte au retour quand même !). Le propriétaire Massimo est très accueillant et fait tout pour nous faciliter le séjour et le rendre agréable. En résumé, on est enchantés de notre séjour et espérons y retourner un peu plus tard dans la saison une autre année pour avoir un peu plus de restaurants, lieux à visiter et établissements thermaux ouverts.

Just as promised.

We were delighted with the property. Everything was wonderful and we would highly recommend this place. It is a walk from town but we knew that and enjoyed the peace and quiet versus our friends that stayed in town. At night we could even hear the water. Well worth the walk.

phantastische Aussicht

Wir hatten eine sehr sehr schöne Zeit! Die Lage der Wohnung mit Blick auf das Meer und die Burg schon morgends beim Aufwachen vom Bett aus ist phantastisch! Die großzügige und vollständige Ausstattung mit der herrlichen Terasse! Der freundliche Empfang und die guten Tipps! Die Bushaltestelle vor der Haustür bei den günstigen Fahrpreisen auf Ischia! Auf der Insel gibt es einiges zu entdecken, so dass uns die eher kleinen Strände ausreichten, um zwei erholsame Wochen zu erleben. Ansonsten ist auch Ischia typisch italienisch: schmale Straßen, laute stinkige Mopeds, so dass die Ruhe in der kleinen, von der Straße abgelegenen Gartenanlage mit insgesamt vier Ferienwohnungen sehr angenehm war - zumal wir im Oktober die einzigen Gäste bei sonnigen 26 Grad waren. Mit einem Wort: empfehlenswert !!!!!

Ischia is paradise!

We had a wonderful time staying at this property! It is located close to the castle and the sweet small town of Ischia Ponte. You can walk there in 15-20 minutes, but it is downhill and back up. That’s how you get the beautiful view-because it is up high! We rented a car, which was necessary to see all the other beautiful spots on the island. We really didn’t see the bus go by very often, so it didn’t seem very convenient. You can rent a car at the port, so it’s a good idea to do this when you get off the ferry. We loved Negombo and Poseidon thermal spas. We also loved towns of Lacco Ameno and Forio. The San Francisco beach was beautiful. The weather at this point in the year was perfect! And it was not crowded. Massimo was great at communicating and his daughter, Valeria was very nice in explaining everything in the apartment to us. There is a traditional espresso maker in the apartment that is typical of the area, but somewhat frustrating to us as Americans used to automatic coffee makers. We adjusted by going to the bar at the end of the street for coffee and a beautiful view of the sea! This apartment was quite lovely and Ischia is a place of dreams!

Beautiful but uphill

In most ways, this is a wonderful vacation rental. The condo is beautiful and fully appointed, the grounds are lovely, the terrace and view are breathtaking, the owners are very nice and there is a bus into Ischia Porto that stops right in front of the building. But it's helpful to understand that it is a 15+ minute walk from town (Ischia Ponte) - uphill. No bus for that. We thought it wouldn't make a difference, but it did - especially as we were there during a heat wave. Also, the market for groceries is a 15 minute walk, half downhill and half uphill. The silver lining is, we ate pasta and gelato without gaining weight!

What a wonderful place

Eine wunderschöne Wohnung mit einer einzigartigen Terrasse und spektakulärem Ausblick. Die Wohnung hatte alles, was wir als 4 köpfige Familie benötigten, sogar ein zweites Badezimmer. Die Küchenausstattung und der traumhafte Blick haben uns dazu veranlasst abends gerne in der Unterkunft zu verweilen. Die Lage war ideal, allerdings muss man auch gut zu Fuß sein, da der kürzeste Weg in den Ort über zahlreiche Treppenstufen führt. Der Kontakt zu dem Vermieter und seiner Tochter (von ihr bekamen wir die Schlüssel) hat immer nett und reibungslos funktioniert. Wir erhielten Tipps zur Anreise, zu Restaurants und Einkaufsmöglichkeiten. Sogar der Kühlschrank war mit einer Erstausstattung bestückt :) Diese Wohnung würden wir sofort wieder buchen. Herzlichen Dank an Massimo und Valeria

Beautiful Getaway with unbeatable views and amenities

My husband and I had the most wonderful stay here in Massimo's home. It is absolutely as beautiful - perhaps more - than shown in the pictures. Everything we needed and more was provided and the home was immaculately clean. Massimo is a gracious host, and provided us with an intro to the island and many helpful recommendations for activities and restaurants! We had so much fun in Ischia and one of our favorite activities was relaxing on the beautiful, spacious patio of this home! The views can not be beat. It is also in a very safe and secure location, super convenient to Old Town Ischia and the main shopping/strolling area on the island. I would highly recommend staying here to anyone! Thank you, Massimo, for opening your beautiful home to us!

Wonderful Stay

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this beautiful property. Massimo was very attentive prior to our arrival and answered any questions we may have. He even arranged a baby crib for us to use for our stay. When we arrived, Massimo was there to greet us and offered a very warm welcome with lots of information, maps, etc. He also left us a few good items for us to enjoy while we were there (milk, juice, coffee, etc.). The place itself is beautiful and the pictures do not do it justice. We enjoyed sunrises and evenings on the terrace overlooking the castle. The place is close enough to Ischia Ponte (around a 10-15 min walk) and close to a grocery store and some restaurants (around 5-10 min walk). The place is also located right on the bus line that will take you to Ischia Porto. From Ischia Porto you can take another bus to other towns on the island. I highly recommend a stay at Ischia Paradise Corner! You will not be disappointed.

Stunning views in a beautifully appointed apartment/villa

We were met by charming Anna the owners wife and she showed us round Every possible effort has been made to provide you with the opportunity to enjoy your stay with all appliances high end! Every kitchen need is there and the black book instructions gave clear help as to how everything works! There were restaurant recommendations and guidance to local shop and butcher. First time it seemed quite a long way down (and up!) but by the end of our trip it was easy and the mini market was really well stocked Gifts of limoncello wine along with milk and juice was a lovely touch. This is a stunning property beautifully maintained and at the quality end of the market The added bonus are the views across the bay which are simply.magnificent changing almost by the hour The peace and tranquillity made it such a restful.break. We ate at il Giordano in the village and also at the American bar auras in ischia at the far end of the front with wonderful seafood pasta with charming staff in both places We have travelled extensively throughout Europe self catering but this stands out as the most memorable. We will return!

We really enjoyed our stay. Massimo provided us with lots of information at the start that made it easy to settle in and explore Ischia.

Before we arrived we had lots of useful information from Pepe about how to get to the villa. We were greeted by Anna who was wonderful, very welcoming and gave us plenty of information about the island. The property itself is in a beautiful quiet spot with simply stunning views out into the bay. We enjoyed many an hour sat on the terrace with a good book and of course, some Italian vino. When it came to leaving the property Anna was very flexible with times and it seemed as though nothing was too much trouble.

Perfect location with a view to die for

Perfect location just out of the bustle of the main town but with access to shops and restaurants just a short walk away. The apartment was well located and had everything that you could need along with a wonderful view of the castle. You could walk down to Ischia Ponte for shops and restaurants or it was a short bus ride (with a bus stop outside the house) into the main town. Then easy transport access for the ferries and buses around the island. A wonderful restful break with lots to see and do.
