San Montano Resort & Spa

We have been privileged to stay in very many Relais and Chateau Hotels around the world. They were all outstanding but the San Montano resort sets a new standard and is in a class by itself. From our gracious and welcoming reception upon arrival throughout our entire eight day stay we were treated as honored guests. The facility itself is stunning, situated on top of a hill with spectacular 360 degree views of the bay of Naples and nearby islands. The rooms are spacious and luxuriously appointed with terraces and sea views. Ischia is noted for its wonderful thermal pools. San Montano offers 11 of its own set at various delightful temperatures. The restaurant is elegant and of the highest quality and the complimentary breakfast offerings are wonderful. The hotel offers a complimentary shuttle service to a beautiful secluded private beach about 5 minutes away and also to the charming town at the bottom of the hill.

A beautiful hotel and spa. Stunning views from every room of the surrounding town and waters. The staff went out of their way to be welcoming and ensure your every desire was catered to. Every Canadian wanting to visit Ischia should stay here.

We loved our stay at San Montano. Marco DeMeglio and his team couldn’t have been more helpful, friendly, or accommodating. Breakfast and the view was amazing every morning. The waitstaff was wonderful, and the fresh eggs, prosciutto/mortadella/cheese options fruit, pastries, and yogurt kept us going for the day. We loved relaxing by the thermal pools and taking in the breathtaking views, probably the best on the island. Before dinner each evening, we’d head to the bar patio for a drink at sunset. The various complimentary snacks in a spoon were a nice touch. We also both agree that the massages at the spa were the best we’ve ever had. The rooms and the whole resort were top notch. We can’t recommend San Montano enough. Thank you to Marco and the entire team for making our getaway so special! If possible, this place should be “6” STARS!

My girlfriend and I had an incredible 5 night stay at San Montano. The resort is conveniently located to both Forio Porto and Lacco Ameno. The property is very lush, clean and well maintained. It sits perched atop one of the more elevated parts of the island, and the views are breath taking in every direction. We spent quite a bit of time in the thermal pools getting lost in the views of the rest of the island, the Golf of Napoli and Vesuvius. It's hard not to. The service was also exceptional, they went above and beyond to accommodate every request and made sure our experience was as relaxing as could be. They are also very helpful with coordinating taxi service, as that's really the only way to explore the other parts of the island. Food was delicious - we loved the pizza from Francos and the breakfast buffet is the best we've seen! We highly recommend San Montano if you are planning a trip to Ischia and can't wait to come back!

We spent 10 nights at San Montano for my wife’s birthday. The property is perched on top of a hill with 360 degree views of Naples, Procida, Lacco Ameno and sunset. Great food and service. The staff was very informative and helpful with insights in Ischia and making reservations for boats, tours, dinners etc. They have a shuttle into town and to 2 beach clubs.

Wonderful location—at the top of a hill with views for miles Front desk staff were fantastic Rooms were clean and spacious Pool staff were great and accommodating Happy hour was low key and fun nightly Daily breakfast was delicious and had so many great options Sunset views were wonderful (esp. with the meteor shower & eclipse) Beach Clubs were the best—so easy and enjoyable Shuttle was very convenient

San Montano really stood out to us for its excellent communication and service, even before we arrived. The team was extremely responsive and helpful with everything from restaurant and beach club reservations to transfers and spa arrangements. Our transportation from Naples to Ischia was seamless, and both the car and boat transfer teams were incredibly kind and professional. The staff at the hotel deserves five stars for their attentiveness and outstanding hospitality. We also really enjoyed the food, drinks, and evening entertainment. The piano player was especially sweet and even played songs in Spanish for me and dedicated one to me, which was such a lovely touch. One of my favorite meals was the grilled fish with vegetables at the poolside restaurant. Our Amalfi Room was absolutely beautiful—spacious, spotless, comfortable, and with breathtaking views. It had everything we needed and made our stay feel very special. There were just a couple of things that could be improved. We had an outdoor couples massage and were not warned about the mosquitoes, which made it difficult to relax and resulted in several bites, including one on my face. The staff was very understanding and helpful afterward. We also found that the restaurant areas could become quite hot, and having fans available would make dining much more comfortable during the summer months. Overall, San Montano was a wonderful and very memorable experience. The incredible views, pools on different levels and at different temperatures, natural saltwater pools, beautiful grounds, and exceptional service make this resort truly special. We would highly recommend it.

San Montano exceeded every expectation. The setting is absolutely breathtaking, the rooms are beautiful, and every detail of the property is thoughtfully done. What truly sets it apart, though, is the warmth and genuine hospitality of the entire team. Everyone went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and cared for. The food was outstanding, the thermal pools and spa were exceptional, and the views are among the most beautiful I’ve ever experienced. San Montano is truly a rare gem, one of those special places that stays with you long after you leave. I can’t wait to return and would recommend San Montano without hesitation to anyone visiting Ischia.
