This was our third visit to Ischia in fifteen years and we were amazed there were still very few British visitors, as the island is breathtakingly beautiful, with exotic flowers blooming everywhere, even in October, in the warm sunshine. It was our second visit to the Continental Mare (a return visit, as we were very pleased with our stay five... More

Booked a package deal with Thomson Holidays which we haven’t done for many years but thought it best on this occasion due to the journey involved. The flight to Naples, collection at Naples airport and drive to the ferry terminal was seamless. The crossing to Ischia took approximately 1.5 hours which was a pleasant journey and the collection from Ischia... More

Stayed for two nights in late September. The ferry trip to the island and the ride through the port were hectic -- what a fabulous relief to enter the magical retreat that is the Continental Mare Hotel. Drive down the winding driveway (plenty of guest parking available) and you enter a quiet blue world of sea and service. Lovely rooms,... More

Wonderful relaxing week at the Mare despite the rain. The staff could not have been more attentive especially 007 Luigi ! Short walk in to the port, good for evening stroll and drinks. Relaxing massage by Francesca to start the week, excellent trips and very well looked after by Mina, the Thomson rep. Thorough recommend the Mare, will be back

Upon arrival we were promptly met by the lovely Hotel manager Mario and reception staff who explained what we needed to know on our first day. We had a standard room with a double bed, first floor that had a small balcony with table and chairs. Nicely positioned with a side view of the sea and mainland Italy/Islands. Room was... More

Beautiful view of the sea. Staff is very kind and professional, but the cleaning would need a bit of more attention, i ran out of toilet paper twice in a week. Rooms are big, but disappointing. Breakfast is fine. As for dinner: very traditional dishes were offered, and there was always a choice between fish and meet. Service at the... More

My wife and I recently visited this lovely hotel in late July. The location and views were superb and the staff were both polite and helpful. We booked at late notice but still managed to upgrade our room to one with a wonderful sea view and balcony. Although the room and balcony were a little on the small side it... More

My wife and I visited this lovely hotel during a very hot part of June. The staff and famous Mr.Mario were superb, as you can see from others the location is just great. We booked Bed & Breakfast, but did use their dining room on 2 occasions, our only comment was that their menu was too large, and we could... More

We have holidayed in Italy regularily over the last 10 years and can honestly say this holiday has been the pick of the bunch. The hotel was perfect in every way and the location breathtaking. The staff were fantastic and food superb. Our Thomson Rep Mina was delightful and we even attended our first welcome meeting! We couldn't believe the... More
