villa dans le vert au bord de la mer

Maria’s apartment is large and well situated near beach and many amenities. It’s a comfortable size for six, with some very pretty antique furniture. It is in an excellent location on Ischia between Porto and Ponte though it is on a noisy street.

But it is not luxurious. The bathrooms are in need of an upgrade as is the kitchen which lacks basic utensils (sharp knives, chopping board, kettle). There are no comfortable seats or loungers on the terrace, the sofas are unforgiving, the garden is unkept, and there is no air con. With a makeover, this place could be fantastic.

Maria was very helpful trying to sort broken wifi, new pillows and a bigger coffee pot from some distance and was a conscientious host.

We have stayed though in many Italian airb&bs on this holiday and this was on the shabby end.

Maria Giovanna was responsive and helpful from over 5,000 miles away as I planned our stay. She was a gem while we were there too, offering video conference as I figured out how to use an appliance! Friendly and accommodating, she offered great tips to enjoy Ischia and her local assistant Giovanna even introduced us to a fantastic driver/tour resource. Our host was so helpful—key to any successful trip.

The property is across the street from the beach, allowing for easy early morning reservation of our beach chairs and only a few blocks from fresh vegetable/fruit and meats/cheeses/dry goods markets...both offer incredibly fresh and affordable local options. Walk a little further—but barely—in either direction of the Villa to fantastic shopping and late-night eateries, and the castle. We even caught a procession and fireworks. MG’s House is in the middle of it all, whether you prefer day or night.

Wonderful!

The home suited our large party of 6 for 10 days very well: large rooms, reliable WiFi, well-stocked kitchen equipment, English instructions, and very comfy sheets and towels. We didn’t use them much, but Modern Appliances of dishwasher, washer and dryer are a luxury—especially if we had stayed a bit longer.

We hope to return to Ischia and enjoy MG’s hospitality again.

Very happy with property very centrally located a few small details needed to tweak the comfort of guests particularly in the Kitchen area.but this is only a small gripe

I have stayed in many properties around Europe and this is very good

Schöne mit Antiquitäten eingerichtete typisch italienische Wohnung.

Ruhige Wohngegend

Die große Wohnung in einem Herrenhaus aus dem 19. Jahrhundert ist sehr gut ausgestattet. Die Lage zwischen Ischia Porto und Ponte ist super. Zum Strand geht es über die Strasse, der Garten geht direkt in den grossen historischen und einst wunderschön angelegten Villari Park über.

Maria hat uns viele nette Tipps für unseren Aufenthalt auf Ischia gegeben. Wir kommen gerne wieder!
