Excelsior Belvedere Hotel and Spa

The most wonderful hotel. All done in marble and hand painted Italian tile. Rooms appointed nicely with a marvelous shower. Our balcony looked out over gardens and a partial view of castle. The staff was outstanding! From the front desk helping me with a horrible sprained ankle to the bartender, and wait staff in restaurant. They paid attention to every , every detail. The staff really makes the hotel so special and I believe they have been working together for a long time. Loved the hot mineral pool, steam room and sauna. I didn’t get chance to use the spa/ masseuse. The breakfast which was included in our room rate had so many choices. Loved fresh fruit, croissants and eggs Benedict. They made your eggs any way you wanted such a variety in f everything. We were not able to use private beach while there but did walk down to it we were so busy with several adventures. If you are considering Capri go do a day trip but stay where the food is just as good at less price !

Amazing stay. Can’t fault the service and hotel - staff very attentive and couldn’t do enough for us. Hotel has beautiful grounds, we ate in the hotel one night off one the tastings menus - and the food was fantastic. Loved chilling by the pool or down by the sea where the hotel has its private beach with loungers and bar on

We rarely write reviews for hotels, but in this case, we felt compelled to, whilst on the train coming home. That compelled!! The Belvedere Excelsior Hotel is a fabulous gem of a hotel. It is so intimate & elegant in everything it does. The staff were always so very helpful from the reception staff (big shout to Branka), to the bar staff (shout to Guiseppe, and Enzo), to the staff collecting plates etc. at breakfast. On the subject of breakfast, the selection is absolutely mouth-watering. Every morning we promised ourselves we’d not eat too much, for fear of coming back the size of a large horse, but on every occasion, we failed. Two large horses on the train on the way home as a result 😊. The pool is super clean, we saw it being cleaned every day. If you move a muscle to do anything, the staff were on hand ready to help with moving umbrella’s etc. There is a lovely private beach with a beach bar with equally attentive staff, and an attendant on hand to make sure you have a sunbed. Everything is made SO easy! Everything was absolutely 5 star! The beds were huge. Rooms are so elegant, with free bottled water delivered every day, with clean beach towels and chocolates delivered every evening at turn-down. There was a fabulous pianist playing from 7 to 12pm, every night, who would play many requests, ideal for sipping a cocktail. The prices at the bar were not extortionate either. Ischia is a wonderful hidden secret. Forget Capri, Ischia has it all, and not too busy. The hotel is perfectly located between the castle and the port, with lovely restaurants in abundance in easy walking distance. We will definitely come back., cant wait. One note of caution, bring mosquito spray, they bite…. If you do go, enjoy a half day with Titsiana, who has an old Italian tukl tuk, she’ll wiz you around the island, and educate you on the history, and get you to the best views, also do go to Negombo, the hot springs and beach. It’s a fabulous day… Enjoy!!
