San Montano Resort & Spa

€800 a night for very compact 20sqm room. Overpriced. They dont even pick you up off ferry or drop you when leaving. Taxis mug tourists for trip of a few km. Will try to charge €40 from ferry port. World's most expensive taxi ride! We had room 306. It lashed rain on our first night. I went to toilet during night and stepped onto flooded floor. Our bedding also wet where in contact with floor. Next morning, the receptionist said we must have left window open. We had not. She repeated this which completely unimpressed me. She then said she would get maintenance to check room. Returning later, she told us problem was balcony door which maintenance had now fixed. I did not believe her as water was gathered on opposite side of room, balcony door area being dry. No evidence of any repair to balcony door confirmed for me issue is plumbing. As 306 is at the end of the building, when raining, I believe piping cannot cope and water gathers in this room. Was totally unimpressed, it being a 5 ☆ hotel, that there was no offer of any type to acknowledge our flooded room. Had dinner in restaurant on our 2nd night. Pleasant, if overpriced. I had glass of house red. Was in disbelief at how pathetic the measure. I've had Michelin ☆ tasting meals with accompanying wine where measure was bigger. Absolutely an abuse of their customer to charge €20 for such a miserably small measure. When I asked the waiter, he said the owner had specified the size. So, to me, he sets an exploitative tone for the business. My wife used the steam room in the Spa. On entering she stood in boiling water. Boiling water was running down the walls and gathering at the entrance. This is a disgraceful lack of regard for their guests by management. For a 5☆ we found the whole experience very disappointing. We left seeing the place as just a money making machine to exploit their customers. I've stayed in very many 5☆ hotels around the world and that's the first time I stayed in one that didn't even have fresh fruit on offer at breakfast apart from some to make your own smoothie!

Amazing experience, stunning location, and superior service. We took one of the suites with infinity pool access, where enjoyed the tranquillity of the sunset after spending the day through the 11 thermal pool and whirlpool. The restaurants are great, and the staff is highly committed to make the guests experience a “want to come back”. And I definitely will!

We spent three amazing days at San Montano Resort, and every moment was absolutely wonderful. Our room was perfect — spacious, beautifully maintained, and with a balcony overlooking the thermal pools and the breathtaking Bay of Naples. It was the kind of view you never get tired of. The bed and pillows were incredibly comfortable, and we both slept so well every night. Breakfast each morning was an experience in itself. The selection was outstanding — from savory made-to-order egg dishes to flavorful Italian meats and cheeses, fresh fruit, and irresistible pastries. Everything was served in a dining area with a stunning panoramic view, and the service was top-notch. The staff were attentive, friendly, and always ready to help — it really set the tone for the day. The service throughout the resort was truly exceptional. The front desk team went above and beyond to make our stay seamless — from helping us make dinner reservations and arranging taxis to guiding us on how to use the complimentary shuttle to the nearby village. A special thank you to Francesco, who went out of his way to recommend a fantastic restaurant for our last night — a true hidden gem! He not only made the reservation but also arranged our transportation there and back, making the evening completely stress-free. He and his colleagues at the front desk truly exemplify first-class service. And I can’t say enough about the wonderful and relaxing thermal pools. With the plush terry-cloth robes and flip-flops provided by the resort, the experience was pure bliss — the perfect way to unwind and take in the incredible surroundings. San Montano Resort exceeded our expectations in every way — from the beautiful setting and relaxing atmosphere to the thoughtful touches and outstanding hospitality. We left feeling refreshed, grateful, and already looking forward to returning someday.

Our stay in San Montano Resort & SPA was absolutely exceptional. Everything - facilities, services, restaurant were just perfect. During my visit I have received medical treatments at SPA and would like to express my special gratitude to dedicated staff - Antonietta, Elena and Grazia - for their professionalism, kindness and help. San Montano offers exceptional experience and truly worth every moment and every cent.

San Montano Resort is truly a gem on Ischia. The location is stunning — perched high above the sea with sweeping views of the coastline and surrounded by beautifully maintained grounds. Everywhere you turn, there’s another corner of the property to enjoy, whether it’s the pools, the gardens, or the terraces overlooking the water. The service is outstanding, warm, and attentive, which really elevates the experience. A special mention to Gennaro, who went above and beyond to make our stay exceptional. His professionalism, kindness, and attention to detail made a real difference and left us with wonderful memories. The food on the property is excellent at every meal — from the generous and fresh breakfast spreads, to relaxed yet refined lunches by the pool, and beautifully prepared dinners with stunning views. Dining here was a highlight throughout our stay. If you’re looking for a place that combines natural beauty, comfort, great food, and exceptional hospitality, San Montano Resort is an excellent choice.
