Milngavie, United Kingdom
What an incredible stay! The location was unbeatable - right on the beach, with sun loungers, beach towels and umbrellas provided so we could just walk out and relax. The house itself was immaculate and beautifully kept. Francesco and Peppino were fantastic hosts - warm, friendly and quick to respond to anything we needed. They went above and beyond, stocking the kitchen with fresh juice, Prosecco, bread, eggs, butter, jam, water, pasta, tomatoes, garlic, onions, and fresh fruit for our arrival, plus the house was stocked with toiletries and laundry products. Being able to wash our clothes and hang them out to dry in the Italian sun was brilliant. The kitchen was also fully equipped for anything we wanted to cook. Overall an amazing experience - we’ll definitely be back!
Boston, Massachusetts
Fantastic place to stay! Steps to the beach, restaurants, shops, water taxis, and more. Sant’Angelo is idyllic, charming, and peaceful. The host was super responsive, even helping us find a new ferry time when our flight was delayed. He also connected us with a taxi driver, Loredana, who we used all throughout our stay (she was fantastic!). The location simply couldn’t have been better. When we checked in there was champagne and fruit waiting for us, plus a fridge stocked with breakfast necessities and snacks. We expected to have to go grocery shopping and we didn’t even need to! Bravo to the host. If you are on the fence - BOOK THIS PLACE! You won’t regret it.
New York, New York
Both Carlo and Peppino went out of their way to accommodate and answer questions from the very start of our search. Their hospitality is unmatched. We were helped with timing, ferries, getting to the island of Ischia and Domus as well as assisting us with sightseeing special areas and places in Ischia. Domus is a serene paradise, steps from town (with restaurants markets and amenities). It is a short walk to various beaches. Domus’ rooms are spacious and well appointed with loads of storage and the 2 lovely gardened patios (ground floor and upstairs) were quiet, private and comfortable. There was also an outside sitting area by the entrance and front door. As a painter, I particularly enjoyed these. Ischia is magical, enhanced by 2 genuine and kind hosts. Would definitely stay again!!
