Where to Stay on the Island of ISCHIA Including BEST HOTELS 2022

Sean Finelli Last Updated: March 18, 2022

If you are unfamiliar, Ischia is one of a few really cool islands off the coast of Naples. It is not as fancy as Capri, which is positive since it is very beautiful but much less expensive. Its best known for its thermal baths which the Roman Emperors loved. In this article, we’ll explain where to stay in Ischia and which hotels are the best value.

7 “Need to Know” Ischia Facts

  1. Ischia is a small island on the northern end of the Bay of Naples
  2. It is a volcanic island which is why it has great thermal baths
  3. It can only be reached by ferry from the port of Naples or Rione Terra which is part of Pozzuoli inside the metro area of Naples.
  4. There is no airport in Ischia
  5. Ischia has between 60k – 70k inhabitants
  6. There are a handful of towns in Ischia, the largest being the town of Ischia, Forio, and Barano d’Ischia
  7. It is a favorite among Italians because it is still authentic and not overrun with international visitors

Where to Stay In Ischia

Why should you go to Ischia? I love the Amalfi Coast, but it is expensive and very much overrun with tourists. If you are looking for similar geographic conditions and you are ok with more basic accommodation, you’ll love Ischia. The food is among the best in all of Italy and the cost will be far less than that of the Amalfi Coast. I would most definitely go here with the wife and kids to enjoy an amazing holiday, eat great, and save thousands compared to that of Capri.

The island is broken down into 4 main areas.

Ischia Town

This is the Northeastern side of the island. The town has lots of beaches, colorful vibes, and an amazing castle as a backdrop. Definitely for people who like lots going on and possibly some nightlife.

Southern Part of Ischia

The southern portion of Ischia feels a little bit more remote which many people like including myself. You get some cool geographic diversity here. The cliffs get pretty steep which means less inhabitants and less of a “crowded feel”. You also have really cool rock formations which makes the area feel special.

Western Ischia (Forio)

Forio and surrounding areas is heavily populated and full of hotels. The area is more flat, but there is a huge cliff on the southern side of Spiaggia di Citara which makes the area more dynamic. Definitely find some great accommodation deals here.

Northern Ischia (Lacco Ameno)

Northern Ischia is a pretty posh area with some fancy hotels. Lots to do and close proximity to Punta Spaccarerlo and Bosco di Zaro which have beautiful terrain.

Best Hotels in Ischia

What is Family Friendly? Almost every hotel is family in Italy so when we mark it as such it means there are extra elements that are particularly good for families. That may mean a pool, close walking distance to pedestrian areas or parks, and more.
