Garden & Villas Resort

A lovely hotel with beautiful, peaceful gardens. The staff were all pleasant and helpful, the rooms lovely (all different) and restaurants very good. The pool was blissful - loved the double Sun loungers and plenty of space and available beds. We ate in the main restaurant (very good and personable staff make recommendations if you wish and at the amazing vegetarian/ vegan Il Mirto. The chef in the latter is very talented and came up with some surprising dishes - all fabulous. Even my carnivore husband thoroughly enjoyed it. You are made to feel special as they only take a few bookings each night and talk you through all the dishes. They grow lots of herbs and vegetables themselves which are used in the dishes. There is a hotel shuttle that will take you into town/ the port for a boat trip/ botanical gardens and they have a customer relations to help with trips, local,restaurants etc. I would be very happy to return to Botania Relais and Spa and Ischia as it’s a lovely island.

Beautiful hotel set in lush gardens. Key thing about the place is the staff. Friendly, efficient, smooth and professional. A series of individual rooms dotted around magnificent gardens. A healthy resort with a Michelin green star. Highly recommend all the restaurants and particularly Il Miro, best most creative vegetarian and vegan food. Almost next door to the famous William Walton gardens and easy transport to the concerts there. The best indoor spa with hot and cold Turkish experience. A complete restful reset from the outside world. I’m a fussy middle-aged English lady and I highly recommend it!!

I’ve been lucky enough to stay at some very good hotels in the past, but this must be one of the best. Incredibly beautiful grounds, amazing restaurants and fabulous staff. No part of the stay was anything less than five star. Arrival: very efficient. They phone before to make sure all ok and then off to the room after a speedy check in (we were lucky enough to be upgraded to a delux) Room - deluxe. - spacious, great air con, lovely bed and bathroom and a balcony with views over the bay to Vesuvius in the distance, Soft drinks complimentary from the minibar, Pool - large and nice to sit beside. Good poolside service. On the arrival of a group of v loud Americans (why can’t you guys have conversations in normal volume shoemaking voices?!) we went up to the Belvedere where there is more seating and another 2 small pools, with a lovely view, as the name suggests. Breakfast - just the best - amazing, fresh, locally sourced. Great service again. And, their own pastry chef, who made the best pastries I have ever had (try the pistachio swirl) Restaurants - both fabulous, I guess look at other reviews for Il Mirto, but it was a memorable experience with fantastically interesting food which stimulated very single taste bud. Spa - this is such a lovely place to get out of the sun. The hot and cold massage pools and stream room are all complimentary. Don’t miss them out. The gym is VERY small with a couple of Cardio machines only and weights which only go up to 10KG. This is the only thing I’d change about the whole place. Staff - always very helpful and friendly. Guest services were some of the best I have encountered. Claudia will meet you at breakfast and help you with anything and everything to do with your stay and bookings of activities - outstanding - thank you All in all, absolutely fabulous and recommended unreservedly.

I thought the grounds and the spa were very nice but the staff at reception was very poor. We had no AC working the first night we were there (and very jet lagged from Los Angeles) and the problem was not addressed until the next day. We told them 3 times after we checked in - at 3 PM.and again at 6 PM and then at 10 PM. We got no sleep that night as it was over 85 degrees in the room. At checkout we told these things happen ! We were paying over $650 a night and the management just did not care. Wouldn't go back because of this. Stayed 3 nights and the first night should have been comped due to this problem. Period.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ An Unforgettable 5-Star Experience at Botania Relais From the moment we arrived at Botania Relais in Ischia, we were blown away by the service, the beauty of the property, and the overall experience. The estate is expansive, immaculately maintained, and surrounded by lush flora that creates a peaceful, almost magical atmosphere. It truly feels like a hidden paradise. What really sets this place apart is the concierge service—honestly, the best I’ve ever experienced. Martin and Claudia were the best!!! Upon check-in, we were given a WhatsApp number to contact the concierge directly, and from that point on, everything was seamless. Whether we needed help with transfers, dinner reservations, or planning leisure activities, they were responsive, thoughtful, and incredibly helpful every time. The property is spotlessly clean and features three fantastic on-site restaurants. A standout moment for us was our first morning at the buffet, where a staff member personally walked us through all the offerings and explained the origins of their fresh, local produce. That level of attention and care was consistent throughout our stay. The views are breathtaking, the swimming pool is serene and luxurious, and every detail is designed to make your stay as comfortable and memorable as possible. We stayed for four nights and left feeling completely recharged—and already thinking about when we can return. I couldn’t recommend Botania Relais more highly. If you're looking for a true five-star experience in Ischia, this is the place.
