点评:My husband and I went to Italy for 3 weeks in May 2026. The final destination of our trip was to the island of Ischia for 5 days, which we wished had been longer. We stayed at Gardenia Mare which was absolutely amazing. The location was near the Ischia Porto and the property was set back between beautiful rocks on a bluff right on the water with an amazing view of the castle. It was stunning. We were able to take a water taxi which was always arranged by our host Mauro. Such a cool and beautiful way to get to things and just experience overall. We were also able to take a taxi or walk to the downtown, Porto, for shopping and meals. We did a lot of walking in Italy as is to be expected. And we are in decent shape which helped even with the walk from this property into town. As you will begin the walk up an incline but it isn’t too hard. You can walk to town in about 20 minutes and to the Castle in about 15 minutes. The restaurant at Gardenia Mare was amazing. Sitting outside on a bluff overlooking the water and the lit up Castle was beautiful. The food and service at Gardenia Mare was the best we had in Italy. And that says a lot as the food in Italy is amazing. We are big foodies and this is an important part of our travels. Also Mauro was an amazing host. He was amazingly helpful and attentive. We followed all of his recommendations for meals and activities and were blown away. Like Coco restaurant, which we took a water taxi to, and it was right on the water under the Castle where had the local fish again, amazing. In town we ate at Cru, that Mauro recommended, which was also amazing but not as good as Gardenia Mare. At most of these restaurants they bring the fish to you table side to select and then they prepare it for you. We also went to Forio and Sant Angelo, two of the beautiful and amazing towns in Ischia. We actually decided to try the bus to this side of the island. Mauro was very helpful with this. You can buy bus tickets in the small little convenient stores or at the Port downtown. And everyone was very helpful to clarify which was the correct bus to take based on our destination. Visiting this side of the island is a must. Beautiful and very different beaches. Soaking in the thermals is a highlight. We went to the Poseidon which was great. It is quite large with views of the beautiful sea and the rocks it was built into. Mauro recommended we leave for lunch and then return back to the thermals. So glad we did this! We walked to the restaurant Gabbiano on the beach and again wonderful food. Many people we spoke with prior to our visit suggested staying on this side of the island. We were so happy we stayed where we did as it was beautiful, more relaxed and not as busy. And we do like activities and being close to things. I can’t say enough about Gardenia Mare, the restaurant and Mauro. This place is very special as is Mauro. I can’t forget to mention the unique swimming and lounging area at Gardenia Mare. It is just below the restaurant and grounds of the property. It is small and quaint built into the rocks as so much is in Italy. There is a small section of sand even which you can walk right into the water. There are kayaks and paddle boards available for rent as well. Not to mention the service from your lounge chairs to bring you wine, the ever famous Aperol Spritz or what ever you want. Thank you for your hospitality and all your kindness Mauro you helped make this a trip of a lifetime. Ciao, Pam and Mike
翻译:2026年5月,我和丈夫前往意大利旅行了3周。此行的最后一站是伊斯基亚岛,我们在那里度过了5天,真希望时间能再长一些。我们下榻的酒店是Gardenia Mare,那里简直棒极了。酒店位于伊斯基亚波尔托附近,坐落在临海的悬崖上,周围是美丽的岩石,还能欣赏到城堡的绝美景致。实在令人陶醉。我们乘坐的水上出租车也都是由店主毛罗亲自安排的。这种前往各处并尽情体验的方式真是酷炫又美妙。我们还可以乘坐出租车或步行前往波尔图市中心购物和用餐。在意大利期间我们走了很多路,这也是意料之中的事。我们的体能状况不错,这为我们从酒店步行到镇上提供了很大帮助。虽然开始时会有一段上坡路,但难度并不大。步行到镇上大约需要20分钟,到城堡则约15分钟。Gardenia Mare酒店的餐厅也棒极了。坐在俯瞰着大海和灯火通明的城堡的悬崖上,景色美不胜收。Gardenia Mare餐厅的食物与服务都是我们在意大利体验过最棒的。这可相当难得,毕竟意大利的美食本就举世闻名。我们都是美食爱好者,饮食也是我们旅行的重中之重。此外,Mauro是一位极其出色的东道主。他热情周到且体贴入微。我们完全听从了他的餐饮与活动建议,结果惊叹不已。比如我们乘坐水上出租车前往的Coco餐厅,便令人印象深刻。那里就在城堡下方的湖边,当地的新鲜鱼类就在这里出售,真是棒极了。在镇上,我们去了毛罗推荐的Cru餐厅,那里的食物同样美味,不过比不上Gardenia Mare。在大多数这类餐厅里,服务员会把鱼送到桌边供你挑选,然后再为你烹制。我们还去了伊斯基亚岛上另外两座美丽绝伦的小镇——福里奥和圣安杰洛。我们决定尝试乘坐巴士前往岛的这一侧,毛罗在这方面给了我们很多帮助。您可以在街边的小便利店或市中心的码头购买巴士票。每个人都很热心,会根据我们的目的地来推荐该搭乘哪一路巴士。游览岛的这一侧绝对不容错过——这里的海滩美轮美奂且各具特色。泡温泉更是此行的一大亮点。我们去了波塞冬温泉中心,体验非常棒。那里规模颇大,从里面可以欣赏到美丽的海景以及依山而建的岩石景观。毛罗建议我们去吃午饭,然后再回到温泉区。我们真庆幸照做了!我们步行到海滩边的Gabbiano餐厅,那里的食物同样美味极了。在来之前,很多和我们交谈过的人都建议我们住在岛的这一侧。我们很高兴自己选择了这里入住——这里风景优美、气氛轻松,也没那么拥挤。虽然我们喜欢参加各种活动并希望离各类设施近一些,但对于Gardenia Mare酒店、这家餐厅以及毛罗,我实在赞不绝口!这个地方和毛罗本人一样非常特别。我必须提一下Gardenia Mare那独具特色的游泳与休闲区。它就在餐厅及庄园的下方。这里规模虽小却十分别致,是依照意大利常见的风格依山岩而建的。甚至还有一小块沙滩,可以直接步行入水。此外,这里也提供皮划艇和桨板出租服务。更不用说服务员还会主动为坐在躺椅上的客人送上美酒了。来一杯闻名遐迩的阿佩罗斯普里茨,或者随便你想喝什么。感谢你的热情款待与悉心关照,毛罗!你让这趟旅行成为了一生难忘的体验。再见啦,帕姆和迈克。
