Everything was outstanding. The staff, food, views, bed, room, service, complimentary toiletries - it was perfection!!! When checking in we were greeted with handmade lemon juice from the resort! We were so incredibly happy with our stay. The staff even upgraded our room for free because it was our honeymoon!! On site they have lemon & lime trees, SO many pools, a natural cave sauna, a great spa, and various restaurants. Just an absolutely impeccable time!

It was tough at times to find which location on site had food and when - you just need to schedule your meals accordingly and pay attention to those hours.

The staff was so sweet and attentive and they upgraded us to a beautiful suite when we arrived — that kind of thing never happens! Was really special. The restaurants and food were fabulous and offered a large selection of options. The many various swimming and hot spring pools were lovely. There were stunning views of the island and ocean from every side of the resort, which sits atop a mountain. Just an amazing stay and we will definitely go back in the future!

The location is stunning and the thermal area beautiful. Indeed one of the best hotels in Ischia.

Following our departure there was an unfortunate event that I would have never expected by a 5 stars hotel. The staff called me to say that "They forgot to charge us a salad" which actually we never took. The whole thing was very cheap and I would have never expected this by a 5 stars hotel: 1) If you forget to charge a salad in a 5 stars hotel you don't bother your guest that is travelling back considering the final bill he has already paid. 2) If you really have to do it, be sure that it was really him - I had the feeling I had to excuse myself for not having paid a salad I never took because of a mistake in their systems?

San Montano is hands down the best hotel I’ve stayed in. The island of Ischia is so special and the location and outlook is breathtaking. The facilities, staff and experience we had here will never be beaten. We came to celebrate three years together and left engaged to be married. We can’t thank Marco and his team enough! 🌅🥂 Our 4 nights on ischia followed 6 nights in Sorrento. We visited the Amalfi coast, Napoli, Capri and more before heading to San Montano, but our time there was the highlight of our trip. We had activities planned on the island, which we cancelled when we realised how beautiful the grounds and pools are. The photos really don’t do it justice! We would recommend you visit Castello Aragonese and/or Sant’Angelo while there and there’s some lovely family run restaurants down in the town below, that the hotel runs a complimentary shuttle bus too. Make sure you book a spa treatment. We did a couples massage, which was great. Just book and you won’t regret it!

Absolutely fantastic location with breathtaking view, friendly stuff, very good breakfast and exellent restaurant open for dinner. Nice live piano music in the lobby bar in the evening, pleasant atmosphere everywere. Not far away from a small seaside town with a picturesque promenade, nice shops and very delicious restaurants

Standard rooms are tiny, the bathrooms as well. The pool stuff is unfriendly and visibly tired of you. Some days there were no bar service at the poolside, they explained that there was no connection with the bar, though the umbrellas are provided with special buttons to call the waiter. If you don't have a connection, why don't you send the waiter to the poolside to ask if anyone wants a cup of coffee, water or something else??

We stayed at San Montano for 3 nights of our honeymoon and had the most amazing time. It was the perfect place to relax, with great food and drinks, in beautiful surroundings. All of the staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming at all times; the accommodation was so comfortable, spotless and nicely designed and they kindly upgraded our room when we arrived. Breakfast (with a wonderful view) was delicious, with lots of variety. We had the best massages we’ve ever had and the indoor spa was lovely. The shuttle system down to Lacco Ameno and San Montano Bay was excellent and so efficient. The beach itself is gorgeous! The pools and the grounds were genuinely heavenly - to have a warm bath whilst looking over sea and mountains, with the smell of lemons, rosemary, bougainvillea surrounding you is something very memorable. We chose this place based on exceptional reviews and we can see why it’s got so many. Highly recommend going here, we felt so looked after. Thank you!

I appreciated the thermal pools, the stunning views, the quiet spa, the friendly stuff, the tasty food.. a combination that made it difficult to leave the place and visit the island. I am especially thankful to Giovanni, the physiotherapist/osteopath, who with his good understanding of the human body, managed to solve in 4 sessions of massages and manipulations some long lasting back and posture problems other therapists could not help me with. All in all an excellent, relaxing, rejuvenating stay I would love to repeat.

From the minute we entered the resort, the staff was amazing. They welcomed us with the most delicious lemonade made from their lemon trees. The rooms were clean spacious and well maintained. There was a great restaurant for pizza and casual lunches during the day. The dinner at La Veranda was also delicious. The breakfast that was included was delicious and the overall restaurant service was impeccable. The hotel offers an on-demand shuttle to town. The town is adorable. There were so many cute shops and restaurant options there. The resort has the most amazing views of the bay. The staff was so friendly and attentive. The resort has multiple pools and a spa. We never had trouble getting a beautiful lounge by the pool. The spa was amazing. Guests can use the steam room, sauna, cold plunge pool, jacuzzi at no extra charge. A few people in our party got massages which were reasonably priced and amazing. There is beach access, but we enjoyed the pools so much that we never went to the beach. My son got engaged while we were there. The resort arranged for a photographer and a romantic dinner, and it all went perfectly. I can't say enough great things about San Montano Resort and Spa. I will definitely be going back here soon. It was one of the best hotels I've been to.

There was not one thing that I didn't like. Everything was PERFECT!!!!

Beautiful resort in a unique location on top of the hill, with great views in all directions. Comfortable rooms (we had the superior sea view room) with a quiet but effective air conditioning which was needed during the hot week we were there. There are many different pools around the place with different temperatures and views to surrounding nature and town. Breakfast was great. There are also good places for lunch and dinner so it’s enjoyable to spend a whole day at the resort. Shuttle service to down to the town of Lacco Ameno worked very well, and it was nice to go there during evenings too. Service was also very courteous. Pricey of course, but still worth the price I think. Overall an awesome luxury hotel and we really enjoyed our stay.

On the first night our dinner was excellent, but the other time we went something was wrong. Service was a bit hasty and lamb was over cooked - also the second try. Not something you’d expect from a place of this caliber but maybe it was an exception. We also wished there would be a better option to launder clothes, current service would have taken 2-3 days and prices were outrageous (e.g 10 eur per one t-shirt) so it would have been more than 100 eur for one machine of our laundry. I don’t know if this is how 5-star hotels usually do this, but we wished there would have been a more sensible laundry option. Small problems as otherwise everything was perfect.

I took a chance and booked this hotel at short notice and I must say we were blown away with pretty much every aspect of the resort. We stayed 4 nights in a superior double room with sea view that was quite spectacular. Our room was spacious, clean and had everything, including robes that one could wish for - unusual for Italy! The staff were incredibly helpful and super friendly, including all the pool guys who couldn't do enough to be of service. They also operate a frequent shuttle service down to the little town and one can call them and they will pick you up again. The biggest thrill for me were the thermal pools, especially the main hottest one that was equipped with the best jets I have ever tried, so my spine and lower back felt totally different by the time we left and I am still experiencing the benefits and that is really saying something! The food was good and we particularly enjoyed the breakfast which was varied and plentiful so what more could you want.
