How to reach the hotel:    Information

Quick info and tips:

Napoli is connected to Ischia via traghetti (ferries, slightly cheaper but slower) or Aliscafi (faster hydrofoils). They leave from three sites: "molo Beverello" or "Mergellina" (hydrofoils) or "Porta di Massa" (ferries). Porta di Massa and Beverello are very close to each other, and they have more connections to Ischia.

The last ferry is at 21:55 from Porta di Massa.

From Napoli airport you may take the "Alibus", the bus goes to Piazza Municipio near the "Molo Beverello" or "Porta di Massa" docking sites. From the last stop just walk down towards the sea, and you will see the hydrofoils and ferries. If you take a taxi from the airport ask for the predetermined tariff: "tariffa predeterminata". It is 19 Euros for ``Molo Beverello'' or ``Porta di Massa'', 23 Euros for Mergellina. It includes everything.

For timetables of ferries and hydrofoils:  
IschiaOnLine

In Ischia the closest harbour to the hotel is "Ischia Porto", the main port of the island. From the port the Hotel  it is a short taxi ride, or take the public bus service Eav Bus, (main bus stop directly at the harbour).

Upon demand the hotel organizes direct transfers from the Airport "Capodichino",  the railway stations “Napoli Centrale”, “Napoli Mergellina”, and the harbour of Naples, to the hotel in Ischia and viceversa. If interested please fill in this transfer form and send it directly to the hotel.
