Our stay at Botania Relais was nothing short of AMAZING!! World class hospitality. Some of the best food we’ve ever eaten in our lives (let alone in Italy). Stunning property, rooms, pools, and spa. Ischia is a dream island. 10/10

Loved this hotel! Friendly and helpful staff. Nice rooms, excellent buffet at breakfast. Fun drinks by the pool, great massage at Spa. Adorable bar/lounge built into a rock. Great music one night. Only problem was that I didn't stay long enough!

Stunningly beautiful luxury hotel, nestled in lush gardens up the mountainside with sea views. Rooms were beautiful, very clean, and spacious. Staff was wonderful and friendly and went above and beyond to ensure our stay was perfect. All the food and drinks were also delicious. Ischia is truly a dream destination!

We would come back to Ischia just to stay here again!!!!! The hotel is wonderful! The gardens and grounds are beautiful. Our room felt like it was tucked away in a garden. Private , huge, comfortable and clean. The bathroom was the largest we had while traveling Italy.

Now let’s talk about dining… Oh my gosh! Breakfast is awesome. There are so many delicious choices you might forget to go out and explore. Beautiful baked good, omelette station, Fruit, fresh granolas and big displays of their honey. And there is always a mimosas station. The service is top notch and so attentive. We ordered espresso the first morning and never had to order again it was brought when we sat down each morning.
We stopped a couple of times at the small bar. The drinks were so perfect and the snacks from the chef each night were a wonderful surprise. Service was perfect.
We actually had friends that stay down the hill on the water at a VERY exclusive and very expensive hotel that we invited for drinks and dinner one night. We had cocktails first and the lovely bar and the. dinner in the restaurant. They commented that our hotel was way better than theirs and the food and service was outstanding.
We stayed in one rainy day for Spa and Lunch by the pool. The thermal pools are so lovely. They have several water falls that you can stand under that beats down on your neck for a nice massage. There are bubble chairs where you can relax and soak in the rich minerals. Perfect!

An absolutely stunning hotel and spa set in beautiful gardens. We had a wonderful time. The attention to detail was something else - the Botania Relais team were fantastic from the moment we arrived and throughout our 5 night stay. Fabulous restaurants, the food was incredible and the breakfast choice excellent.

Very convenient place to stay for a trip to the ruins at Paestum.
Room was spacious, nice dual aspect windows.
Pillows are hard foam. Foam mattress.
Dinner involves an extravagant tasting menu - quite a performance, but there are places to eat just outside the gate.
Breakfast very ordinary and no fresh orange juice although there are trees in the garden!

We had already been travelling for 4 weeks when we spent our final 4 days at Botania Relais & Spa.
It was a perfect way to end a very busy holiday. The whole atmosphere was relaxed and the staff were completely committed to providing excellent service for the guests.
Our room was very spacious and serene.
Food and service was great all round - from poolside to the cocktail bar and the restaurants - everything was as promised and exceeded expectations.

Botania Relais and Spa is Outstanding!!!

From the moment we arrived, the hotel and staff were amazing. We arrived many hours before check in after 22hours of travel and had, first, a bite to eat. Our room was ready right after. The room was darling, clean, and comfortable. The hotel was amazing and staff was incredible. We highly recommend Botania and will likely return to bring the rest of my family.

Very beautiful property and very nice staff. Food was amazing. Spa was excellent. Gym was very small and air conditioning was set at a fixed temperature, according to the hotel this was due to regulations in Italy however this was the only hotel where we experienced this in all of Italy. Bedding was not change despite multiple requests to have this done, but overall it was a very nice, pleasant and relaxing stay.

Property was lovely. Staff was so kind and welcoming and the food was delicious. The only issue was that the a/c was set at 23 degrees and it was not possible to set it any lower due to “Italian government regulations” however we did not encounter these “regulations” at any other hotel in all of Italy. Also the bedding was not changed at all during our stay despite us requesting it. The same coffee stay was on the sheets the entire time. Aside from these issues it was all around a very nice stay and it was an extremely relaxing atmosphere and a terrific spa facility although the gym was very small.

This is one of the most magical and beautiful hotels that I have stayed in. The staff is amazing, the amenities are stellar and the property is beautiful - a botanical garden that is so beautifully laid out. We wanted for nothing and felt like we could simply stay on the resort and be be happy. I recommend this place highly. Ask for Onofrio at the bar/ restaurant. He's lovely - everyone is so kind and thoughtful

We stayed here for 2 nights before we moved to Mezzatorre. Honestly, Botania is way better than Mezzatorre. Botania is more well kept, staffs are friendlier and more hospital. The breakfast is also way better. I loved their shuttle service, brand new van and well kept. The Mezzatorre shuttle service sucks and the car is old. I would stay at Botania again if I go back to Ischia in the future.
So far my favourite hotel in Southern Italy is Le Sirenuse in Positano, Caruso Belmond in Ravello and Botania in Ischia. I like to hop hotels, change of environment :) I usually stay 2-3 nights everywhere.

From the moment we arrived to check-in , my wife and I were impressed with Garden & Villas Resort . It doesn’t feel like a hotel with the rooms spread out amongst the beautiful manicured gardens but the staff and service are equivalent of a 5 star hotel .
The sense of peace and calm that is present the moment you walk in creates an extremely relaxing atmosphere ( admittedly the hotel was not full and we stayed early June before high season ) .
The evening cocktail bar is a delight , breakfast and lunch around the pool is fabulous and added to that the staff are ALL delivering an exceptional standard.
Ischia is a real hidden gem for English tourists and I can thoroughly recommend Garden & Villas Resort .

Spent three days at Garden& Villas Resort this past week. Property is amazing. Staff is extremely friendly and helpful. Buffet breakfast by the pool each morning was outstanding. The place is nestled in Lacco Ameno area so it is remote from towns, but well worth having to take buses to enjoy the splendid beauty of this place. Rooms are spacious and nicely decorated. Would definitely return.

This is a lovely property with a great pool and delicious breakfast. Some of the room looks like a motel and shower pressure in those rooms is none existent. However the superior rooms are great and everything you'd expect and wish for. Wifi is terrible.

Wonderful stay

It’s not perfect but it is wonderful and I highly recommend. Amazing gardens with rioms. We had a superior room which had its own little garden. The food st dinner is wuite good and the waiters make it really friendly and fun. Breakfast is not amazing but fine and the clementine jam is a revelation. The rooms wouldn’t win interior design awards but they’re comfortable and pleasant. The concierge gives very good advice. I wasn’t impressed by the loud music next to my room on a Friday night, but we got through it snd ot did stop at midnight. Do go to Negombo - very special. All in all a wonderful stay on Ischia.

Great stay, lovely grounds

We stayed at Gardens & Villas for 3 nights over a long weekend and had a great stay. The property is lovely and spread out though not massive, really beautiful grounds dripping in flowers. The pool is lovely. We booked a standard room and were upgraded to a superior room - king bed, big and spacious. Only complaint was that our room smelled a bit musty.

Breakfast was good though not outstanding, though we enjoyed the casual lunch we had there during the day - bruschetta with tomatoes from the garden, nice melon & prosciutto salad.

Worth noting that there were kids staying there. Generally fine and didn’t feel like it was a package holiday feel, though worth noting if you’re looking for absolute peace & quiet

Tranquil setting

All the staff give service with a smile and cannot do enough for you. Restaurant and bar staff are wonderful, francesco, mario, and lorenzo always willing to go the extra mile. Breakfast was so relaxing dining outdoors around the pool area. Lunches and evening meals very good value for money. Everything about this resort is five star from staff to maintenance. wonderful spa area with a fantastic choice of treatments. About 10 minutes walk downhill to the beach and negombo thermal park, but the hotel provide a free shuttle bus. I would highly recommend this hotel for a peaceful and relaxing stay.

Decent

Had a good time at the hotel especially in the pool and restaraunt - Francesco is the best waiter I have been served by - very personable and great with our 1 year old

Had a good stay but would have rather spent longer on the amalfi coast rather than ischia - the hotel should also be a little more proactive in recommending activities
