Terme Providence

For more than 30 years I have been returning to Provvidence, many will raise their eyebrows wondering why, here’s why: the Monte family that runs the hotel always welcomes you with infinite warmth and is attentive to every guest's needs, . A unique experience is what you have when for the first time you look at the landscape from the terrace, it enters your soul and never leaves you. . Once again this year, as always, the Staff, starting from the kitchen, to the waiters in the dining room coordinated by Alexandra, and the Bar, have all been impeccable and very kind. Finally, in the SPA, there is Erminia, who is very knowledgeable and from the very first massage identifies your problem and can advise you for the best. . In short, it is a little corner of paradise. .

We were looking for an authentic Italian boutique holiday full of charm, and Hotel Terme Providence delivered on every level. What makes a holiday special are the people, and the staff here were incredible. The management is clearly brilliant. Owner JeanPaul was a real highlight. On gala night he was chatting with everyone, dancing, and making sure every guest felt welcome. His smile and warmth set the tone for the whole stay. The hotel manager also went above and beyond and kindly drove us to La Mortella Gardens — such a lovely gesture. The gardens are absolutely fabulous and well worth the trip. We caught the bus back. Room We stayed in a Comfort Suite which was spacious with a really well-equipped bathroom. There’s a wall hairdryer provided. There’s no kettle in the room, but we knew this in advance and brought our own — the hotel kindly gave us milk so we could start the day with a cuppa. They don’t provide bottled water in the rooms, but you can buy large chilled bottles at reception which we did daily. Food & Drink Breakfast was amazing. Huge selection of cold meats, cheeses including the most delicious ricotta, fresh fruit, nuts, seeds, preserves, and the best homemade cakes and breads I’ve ever had. The cappuccinos and coffees were some of the best I’ve tasted. We ate dinner at the hotel 3 times. Don’t miss the Gala Night. Authentic Italian antipasti, risotto finished and served on the dance floor, followed by an incredible dessert spread including chocolate cannoli. Then dance the night away! The cocktails are fantastic — we loved the Mojitos and Bloody Marys. The local Ischia wine is very reasonably priced, and they make a delicious homemade Lemon Soda from lemons grown in their own garden. Every drink comes with lovely snacks. It’s perfect sitting with a cocktail watching the sunset before dinner. Pools & Spa There are 3 pools: 2 outdoors including a 40°C thermal pool, and an indoor saltwater pool with Jacuzzi. It’s a spa hotel and mid-week we were offered a complimentary body mud mask. We also booked a massage which was so relaxing. Tip: bring a swim hat as it’s required in the pools. You can hire beach towels or bring your own. Location & Extras The hotel is on a slope. A 5-10 min walk either way gets you to lots of great local restaurants and bars. Our favourites were Jamm Ja for pizza and Ristorante Da Ciccio for incredible fresh fried cod. There’s also beach access just across the road, about 5 mins down steps. There’s a kids club in the afternoons. With only 5 children in the hotel the week we were there, our 2-year-old grandson loved it. The hotel also has books and games you can swap. The absolute highlight was the Friday trip to the hotel’s family vineyard. The mountain drive is a bit hairy but the views are worth it. JeanPaul tells stories about his family and Italian traditions, introduces everyone, and finishes by leading us in local singing. I’m not a singer but it was so much fun and so heartwarming. We didn’t feel the need to visit other thermal parks on Ischia as everything we needed was here. Hotel Terme Providence feels authentic, welcoming, and fun. We’ll be back.

The hotel is simply wonderful-excellent facilities and a perfect location. But I would especially like to praise the staff-friendly, helpful, and very attentive. My wife and I felt welcomed in a truly special way. Maria and Gianpaolo, the owners, are incredibly warm-hearted people who truly hold a special place in our hearts.
