Hi,
I’m wondering if anyone would have a recommendation on where to stay in ischia not far from the ferry port and not to far from town. I have no idea and I’m going with a friend for 1 night in May. Any suggestions would be helpful. I think the only thing we would like to do is visit the thermal spas. Thank you

I have not been to Ischia. I have contributed to a similar question this year by suggesting Limonata Lounge as a resource, a blog from an American expat who lives on Ischia. Also, here is a trip report from a family who went to Ischia this past summer. Hope this gives you a few links to chase down, sorry I can't help more.

Go on www.booking.com and use the map view to locate the hotels near the port. The site has plenty of photos and reviews, and you can filter on several items that may be meaningful to you and your friend.

There are a lot of spas on Ischia, use this resource to decide which kind to visit. Then stay in that town rather then Porto. There are connection to a few of the towns by ferry.

Use the drop down menu for additional info.

Ischia is great, and the link to ischia review will give you a lot of information. We stayed there in September and can recommend the B7B Villa Lieta in Ischia Ponte. We splurged (160 euros/night) for the top floor suite, which included a couch, kitchenette, and virtually uninterrupted use of the terrace, which looked out on the ocean and the Castle Aragonese, a breath taking tableau. Food is great, with many options.
Travel by bus when you can. A one time ride was 1.40 euros, and a day pass was about 4.50 euros. You can go anywhere you want by bus. One night is hardly enough, because the island is a beautiful change of pace from many areas around Naples. Few Americans (we didn't encounter any) and great spas and beaches. See if you can swing another night--you'll be glad you did.

Hi Karen
We decided to stay 2 nights in Ischia at hotel Ulisse. Got a room with a sea view. Hoping to take a ferry from there to Naples and then train to Rome for our last 3 nights..
