Your day at Hotel Da Maria

Start your day waking up to the sea breeze flowing through your window and the golden sunrise over the Aragonese Castle. Enjoy breakfast with a sea view, tasting the genuine flavors of our land. Then head down to our private beach, equipped with sunbeds and umbrellas, where you can relax to the gentle sound of the waves.

Right on the beach, you will find a natural SPA—a unique wellness corner. Among the rocks, the natural thermal pools offer a regenerating experience, in direct contact with nature. These warm waters, rich in beneficial minerals, have been famous since Roman times for their healing properties. They help relieve muscle tension, improve circulation, and soothe rheumatic pain.

According to an ancient legend, these waters were a gift from nature and were even believed to enhance fertility. Today, immersing yourself in the thermal pools is a moment of pure bliss, surrounded by the warmth of the water and the beauty of the landscape.

Prefer freshwater? Relax in our panoramic pool or indulge in a relaxing massage performed by our skilled therapists.

When evening falls, the atmosphere becomes magical. Enjoy an aperitif on the terrace or by the pool, gazing at the sea, followed by a delicious dinner at Ristorante Da Maria, where the authentic flavors of Ischia meet the charm of Ischia by night.

Fancy exploring? From the hotel, you can take a boat to Ischia Ponte’s historic center for a romantic stroll through the village, in the shadow of the castle.

Our Story

The story of Hotel and Ristorante Da Maria dates back to 1903, when Ciro, great-grandfather of today’s owners, returned from Australia and bought land overlooking Cartaromana Bay. Initially intended for wine production, thanks to the vines planted by Ciro, this land quickly became the heart of a long family tradition.

In 1920, Francesco’s wife (Francesco being one of Ciro’s sons) began cooking for the vineyard workers and the first visitors passing through. Her simple, genuine dishes won everyone over, and La Grotta del Saraceno Da Maria was born—the family’s first restaurant.

In 1939, Giovanni, Ciro’s son, and his wife Maria, expanded the restaurant and gave it its current name: Da Maria.

In the 1960s, after the affection and requests from loyal guests, Giovanni and Maria added a small hotel to the restaurant, offering a complete hospitality experience right on the beach.

Management then passed to their sons, Ciro and Aldo, and Ciro’s wife, Maria. Thanks to their dedication, Da Maria continued to grow, becoming the magical place that still enchants visitors today.

Today, the fifth generation—together with mamma Maria—carries on this century-old tradition, welcoming guests with warmth, passion, and the authentic flavors of home.

Our Commitment to a Greener Future

At Hotel Da Maria, respect for the environment is part of our philosophy. For us, protecting the sea and the surrounding nature is a mission we’ve pursued since the 1980s, when we installed one of Ischia’s first private water treatment plants.

In 2006, we became even more sustainable, adding the island’s first evapotranspiration system—a natural process where treated water is absorbed by plants and released into the atmosphere, avoiding any harmful discharge into the sea or the ground.

Staying with us means choosing a hotel that actively protects the sea, the land, and the environment, with innovative eco-friendly solutions.

Our sustainable actions:

Advanced water purification systems to safeguard the sea
Evapotranspiration system for zero environmental impact
Energy-saving measures through conscious resource use
Sustainable cuisine, using local, seasonal ingredients to reduce our footprint
We protect our island because we believe in a greener future, ensuring every guest enjoys a genuine, nature-friendly experience.
