  : We loved our time at Don Pedro - actually we'd considered moving hotel after reading a poor review on Trip Advisor but we went with our instinct and were so glad. We saw loads of other places during our stay but none that we wished we'd chosen instead. The complaints in that other review did not stack up as we didn't see any of the faults/damaged areas and sometimes people expect too much or are comparing to some other luxury place they've stayed at.Location - yes it is up a steep hill but it's a 15 min walk (good exercise), or you can get the courtesy bus at certain times (2 minute crazy drive). Down in the town with all the loud traffic etc., is very nice but when you come back to the hotel you realise it's so quiet and with stunning views over the port and across to mainland.The poolside area is fantastic, very clean, well maintained, loads of high quality sun beds. What we liked is that the owners leave guests alone to relax. There's no music, bars etc., although you can get coffee and drinks inside the hotel to take out if you want. The pool is thermal so it's like walking into a nice warm bath. The breakfast is very good, continental with plenty choice of fruit, ham, cheese, eggs, yogurt, breads and cake.If you want dinner (3 courses) you have to order in the morning (small hotel, so it avoids waste). Two choices per course and we ate there 4 nights, food was really tasty. Price was much more reasonable than eating by the port but a mix of the two is good.Staff are very friendly and helpful but, as I've said, leave you to your own devices.Rooms are comfortable with good A/C and cleaned and fresh towels everyday.Our room opened on to a level with amazing views of the port and looking down onto the poolside. You can simply walk out and sunbathe on beds there or down a few steps to the pool.
  : "Didn't like" is maybe a little strong. More like, "could be better if...":WiFi - we had a signal in our room but you knew when everyone was waking up or in rooms at night as the signal dropped off constantly. I think it's mainly set up for communal areas (poolside was strong), so it's luck if your room is within coverage. Extending the signal shouldn't be too difficult but would be so much better.The rooms are perfectly adequate, traditional older furniture, in keeping with style of hotel but the bathroom was tired and would be nicer with simple clean style tiling. The shower was too small. It was less than 1metre x 1 metre and a shower curtain that sticks to you and floor got very wet! It could be easy to make the shower footprint bigger if refurbishing the bathroom. Personally, I'd rather have a big shower than taking space for a bidet if it was either/or.All that aside, it's appreciated that the cost to do that kind of work must be huge and it is a family small business.

  : Hotel Don Pedro is a family owned business with 40yrs and the family is always present to offer their support. Besides Italian they also speak English and German so there is no problem with communication. They offer a free shuttle service to the ferry port. They serve a breakfast buffet and dinner menue. We tried dinner menue once. It was very tasty. Dinner has to be booked in the morning, to have more flexibility we ate out the other nights. The hotel is located on a small hill directly overlooking the port and the main roundabout. From our room we had stunning views over Proceida, Castle Aragonese and lots of the tyrrhenian sea. The main bus station can be reached within 10 minutes by foot.
  : Well we had the best view, but italian traffic is somewhat! The SP270 is always busy and noise from motorcycles, car, ambulances was really bad. Sometimes drivers use Via Quercia as a bypass when SP270 is crowded. Pedestrian footwalks are hard to find on Ischia island. So walking along Via Quercia with vehicles passing you at high speed was no fun. Besides the noise pollution from the ferries and cars is really bad. Porto is the busiest part of the island. Sometimes we woke up in the morning smelling the exhaust from the old ferries starting their engines in the morning. This is nothing the hotel can do anything about, but should be talken into consideration when looking for a place to stay. Sant'Angelo has banned cars and was a total difference.

  : The staff was friendly, professional and very helpful. They were very attentive and caring.The hotel is situated on a hilltop and boasts a beautiful view of the island. The terrasse is lovely, a great spot to read or enjoy an apperitivo.
  : The uphill climb can be challenging for anyone who has mobility issues. As well, the road leading to the hotel has heavy traffic with cars, taxis and motorcycles ripping through the road at high speeds with no regard for pedestrians.
