Hotel Torre San Angelo

Good hotel, but...

This family run hotel had lots of pluses and several minuses. It is a little out of the way, especially if you don’t have your own car, but it is only a short walk from a small, beautiful, rocky cove with hot springs and it has spectacular views of San Angelo. The owners will drive you to the bus stop on the main road. The rooms are clean, but nothing out of the ordinary except for the views. The breakfast, included in the price, was good, but the food coming out of the kitchen for lunch and dinner was wonderful and reasonably priced. The worst thing about it was the pool area: all three were extremely dirty and covered with mold. I hope they clean and maintain these for future guests because they would be a real asset.

Traveller's tip on recreational activities

Ischia is a big island with lots of attactions. Try a different thermal park (Poseiden is one of the best) or beach each day. A boat cruise around the island is another great way to spend the day.

Fantastic hidden gem

We spent a week at Torre San’t Angelo last year and enjoyed it so much that we went back for a fortnight this year. The location is a little off the beaten track down a narrow road but the views from the rooms and the dining area are nothing short of spectacular. This is a family run hotel that clearly prides itself on providing the best, friendliest service possible. Everybody at the hotel bends over backwards to make sure that you have everything and anything you could want. Simple and delicious local cuisine is served in the evenings(which is very good value!). There’s also a pizzeria at the top of the road called ’Il Ritrovo’ that is well worth a visit. The room was bright, well equiped and had a lovely view of the sea from the window (without us even requesting a sea view). Several of the other rooms and appartments have balconies that overlook the sea as well. As well as the normal temperature pool, the hotel has a thermal pool and a warm jacuzzi that allowed you to continue to enjoy swimming even after the sun has started to fade.

Traveller's tip on local attractions

Walk down to the rock beach at Sorgetto where there are natural thermal springs into the sea. Its very bizarre sitting in really warm sea water with cold waves occassionally lapping over you!

Nice Hotel!

Good food, great views from both the room and the dining terrace and very friendly staff. The hotel is only a 10 minutes walk away from the small village of Panza where there are restaurants and minimarkets and 30 minutes away from the lovely village of Sant’Angelo. Recommended!
