Il Monastero is located in the Aragonese Castle of Ischia, overlooking the turquoise waters of the Mediterranean.  It was a convent between the 16th and 18th centuries; today it offers hospitality to travellers who love simplicity and beauty.

The hotel today is an intimate and authentic place that respects the eloquence of its spaces and its history with just 20 rooms overlooking the sea; a terrace overlooking the bay and the village of Ischia Ponte, where guests are able to look out over the sea, read, have an aperitif or dine, all while immersed in the tranquillity of the sunny and secluded vegetable garden.

The property has been carefully preserved as the original monastery: each room has kept its ancient sobriety and has been refined with Mediterranean and contemporary tastes. The white limestone vaults of the sixteenth-century architecture can be found in most of the 18 rooms and 2 suites. The common areas, the corridors, the rooms are a collection of the artistic heritage of the Mattera family. The walls are decorated with paintings and drawings by Gabriele Mattera and works by his artist friends: Leonardo Cremonini, Raffaele Iacono, Elio Waschimps, Salvatore Basile.

In the rooms, the essential furnishings are the result of a constant personal search for a Mediterranean style. Hence the choice of wrought-iron beds, custom-made shelves and the presence of the original blue majolica tiles that decorate the floors of the reception area and the rooms on the first floor, on which the geometric motif designed by Gabriele Mattera has become the trademark of the property.

In the summer months, the castle is constantly bustling with art exhibitions, concerts, theatre performances, conferences and festivals, all of which welcome hotel guests. The two large garden terraces, surrounded by prickly pears, brooms, jasmine and lantana, welcome guests who wish to enjoy the view: the ruins of the Cathedral of the Assumption, the bay of Sant'Anna, Ischia Ponte, the Campania coast.
