Location
IL MONASTERO is located 113 meters above sea level on the islet of Aragonese Castle, connected to Ischia by a masonry bridge. The castle offers private mooring facilities for guests arriving by boat from Naples, Capri, or the Amalfi Coast. The site encompasses approximately 56,000 square meters with panoramic views of the Gulf of Naples.
Rooms
The hotel comprises 18 rooms and 2 suites, offering views of Ischia and the sea. Each accommodation maintains original sixteenth-century limestone vaults and terracotta floors, complemented by wrought-iron beds. The L'Altana Suite includes two large private terraces, providing expansive views across the island.
Dining
LA CUCINA DEL MONASTERO serves traditional meals, featuring the signature dish Il Monastero Spaghetti, perfected by Chef Michelangelo Iacono. The culinary experiences pay homage to local traditions through tasting menus named 'Merecoppe' and 'Merevascio.' Additionally, guests can enjoy wines produced exclusively on-site, including the Biancolella D.O.C. called CASTELLO.
