Me, my girlfriend and 2 friends wanted to visit Ischia to go 'Talented Mr Ripley' scene spotting (the films early scenes were filmed there) By luck we chose the Mare Blu which is positioned on the beach where most of the scenes were set. Ischia old town is like stepping back 50 years in time, It is wonderful. The hotel... More

We just enjoyed a fantastic break in Ischia in Hotel Mare Blu and we couldn't be happier. We travel a lot and mainly choose 4 star hotel but rarely we have found staff to be so helpful and thoughtful. Our room was a nice double, good size, well cleaned and with an amazing view! The telly was old but we... More

We recently spent 6 lovely days at Hotel Mare Blu, we had booked this hotel blindly, not having ever heard of Ischia before travelling there, we were unsure of what we would find. The hotel was a pleasant surprise,the rooms are not big but who is in a room while on Ischia. It is a fair walk to the port... More

Pros: Great location, good breakfast, clean rooms, helpful staff, nice pool. Cons: Uncomfortable beds, one, sloooowww computer in hotel, a broken-down treadmill and bike as the "gym," beach is insanely crowded and expensive to get chairs. **You can use the accommodations at it's nicer, sister hotel (Miramare Castello) down the block, which they don't tell you.**

the most wonderful place to stay at this island))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))

As a place to go for a week of chilling out, eating & drinking, catching some rays and a small amount of sight-seeing, Ischia is perfect. There are also some fantastic clothes shops. Sadly we did not have the money to spend in those, so... More

My husband and I are just back from a fantastic holiday in Ischia. We stayed 6 nights at the Hotel Mare Blu from the end of September to the beginning of October. We changed rooms after the first night to a room on the 4th floor with a balcony with the most amazing views (see attached photos). While the rooms... More

This was the first time that I was seriously steered wrong by TripAdvisor reviews. We chose Mare Blu based on all the positive reviews here; it was a mistake. The problems began, of all places, at the airport. We had pre-arranged for a transfer when we made our reservations 6 months in advance. We tried confirming the week before, e-mailing... More

The hotel location is fantastic, just in front of the Castle ,in the old part of the island,the most genuine one, with many fishermen's houses.You can also easily walk to Ischia centre,the top class shops are all there.Having said that, there are some negative points also to be noted, some can be improved (in the hotel), some cannot (the beach):...
