Corey Ye " Czech Republic"

Dear Domenico, Thank you again for making our stay on Ischia during 16-26 July 2010 so pleasant. The apartment is well equipped and not only spacious enough for my girlfriend and the five kids we can muster together, but was also able to accommodate my friend, Chris, and his wife who came over from Naples and spent a couple of nights with us. We all marvelled at the excellent view from the terrace - Castello Aragonese, Naples Bay and, on a clear day, Vesuvius off in the distance. The weather was extremely hot during our stay. But I think that the location of the apartment, well uphill, allowed us to catch a good afternoon breeze and significantly moderated the heat from the sun. But maybe the best thing about our stay was how well you took care of us. On the first day you brought us a crate of vegetables from your own garden: tomatoes, peppers and cucumbers. They were excellent! And then, somehow from swimming and getting seawater in my ear, I developed an ear infection. I was very gratified that you didn't even hesitate to drive me straight to the only hospital emergency room on the island that was open on a sunday afternoon. Your assistance in getting me into the facility and explaining my problem to the doctor made all the difference in getting me the antibiotic I needed to clear up the infection, which, as the doctor said, was rapidly worsening. So your wonderful apartment and your thoughtful care made our stay on Ischia one of the best vacations I have ever had and I definitely plan to recommend you to my friends here in the Czech Republic. And if you ever make it to Prague, please let me know so that I can return in some measure the great hospitality I received from you. With warm regards, Corey Ye coreyye@gmail.com

LA FAVOLA DREAM VIEW

The stunning view meant it was difficult to leave our lovely terrace each day. The apartment had everything we wanted although the single room is really only suitable for a child as it has no window. Noise at night from traffic and the next door dog was a bit of a bother but the fans in the bedrooms helped cut down the noise. Being in the centre of the village with neighbours going about their daily business and the proximity of such good eating places and supermarket made it an easy holiday. The friendli ness and help from the owner who speaks fluent English was a great boon. Would we return to La Favola - Oh yes!

Our stay in Ischia

Dear Domenico I am so sorry that I did not get around to writing a review of our stay at your wonderful apartment. As for our stay: Thank you for your wonderful welcome and fabulous hospitality throughout our stay. The apartment is the best we have ever stayed in and the views were truely breathtaking. In fact we could never get enough of just sitting and looking out across the bay at Vesuvius and the amazing ocean views. Ischia is a beautiful island and so easy to get around with all the buses. We had a wonderful time and will come back as often as we can. Our daughter still talks about the tomatoes you gave us from your garden - they are still the only tomatoes she has ever liked! Many thanks and best wishes to you and your family. Nikki Chapman email: nikkichapman71@blueyonder.co.uk

Unsere Urlaub auf ISCHIA

Hallo Signore Domenico Buono,wieder im Alltag „angekommen“, herzliche Gruesse aus Dresden. Die Zeit auf der quirligen, wunderschoenen Insel Ischia haben wir bestens in Erinnerung. Wir sind froh, uns fuer die individuelle Urlaubsgestaltung entschieden und dankbar, Ihre schoene, groessgige Ferienwohnung drei Wochen als Lebensmittelpunkt genutzt zu haben.

Das Leben unter Italienern mit ihrer Freundlichkeit und Aufgeschlossenheit waere bei einem Hotelurlaub nie kennenzulernen und das nahe Alimentari und Supermercadi,die Pizzeria und das Ristorante haben fruehmorgens fuer frische Panini und abends fuer leckeres Dinieren Sorge getragen. Unvergessen aber wird eines bleiben: Der einzigartige Blick von der grossen Terrasse ueber den gesamten Golf von Napoli !!! Morgens als erstes und abends als letztes: Blick, Blick und nochmals Blick – Urlaubsherz, was willst du mehr… Mit freundlichen Gruessen aus dem deutschen Herbst und nahen Winter Brigitte und Rainer Schuetz aus DRESDEN email: rainer.schuetz@sachsenverlag.de

LA FAVOLA Suite Ischia Island

We had a fantastic holiday and Dominico was very helpful and welcoming. The views from the apartment are stunning and it is easily accessible from the port by bus. We were disapointed in the standard of fittings and equipment in the apartment. There was not enough cutlery, cups and saucepans in the kitchen. However, apart from this the apartment is well furnished and comfortable. We all enjoyed our holiday tremendously. The booking system was very simple and efficient.

LA FAVOLA Testimonial

La Favola Testimonial I have travelled from coast to coast and back again many times over the course of the past 20 years. To Asia – Europe – France – India – USA – and back to Canada…With each adventure I find along the way, if providence prevails; a restful peaceful hotel, or a quaint B&B’s, or a picturesque villa or lodge while enjoying the local flavour and cultural experiences. But it was not until LA FAVOLA, in the small tranquil hamlet of Fiaiano on the island of Ischia off the coast of Naples, Italy that I really found the most wonderful villa of all. My gracious, kind and thoughtful host Domenico Buono made me feel at home by inviting me into his lovely villa. His warm reception and the fabulous accommodations of La Favola made my adventure all that I had hoped for and MORE! The villa was bright, clean, cosy and wonderfully decorated. It was more than I could have hoped for. The living area was inviting, and the bedroom was warm and peaceful. All the necessary amenities are available; including books and my most favourite… a puzzle! Just a short walk up the local street from this fantastic villa, one finds all that is needed! The view from the patio was the most spectacular site to behold. In my three months at the villa I spent many hours enjoying the view of Ischia Porto, the Mediterranean Sea, and Mount Vesuvius in the horizon. During my entire visit, I felt that I was embraced as a friend and had a feeling of ‘presence’ that was consistently enhanced by the kind welcoming attitude of the residents of the local area around La Favola Fiaiano. My sabbatical turned into a fantastic enchanting experience for myself, my visiting friends and family, and in no small part due to the wonderful friendship of Domenico Buono my wonderful host! I hope to return soon to La Favola! Marleen E. Irwin, RRT(C), FHRS Consultant CardioSys Knowledge Transfer Group Ltd.

To Domenico and Angelica,

Lucille and I wish to thank you for making our stay at your apartment so wonderful. Lucille and I have discussed how lucky we were to have found you, via the internet. We took a chance, and struck gold. The apartment was all you said it would be, and more. We didn't expect to see the big comfortable bed and such a large bed room. The view from the deck was spectacular, even better than the picture on the web site. The trattorias and the ristorantes you showed us, just a short walk from the apartment were outstanding. Your help in securing a cell phone and a rental car were very much appreciated. We were moved by the invitation to your home for Sunday dinner, with your family. Angelica is very charming, and she prepared a delicious (buonissimo) meal. You are very lucky to have two bright and beautiful (bellissime) daughters. Meeting your Papa made me realize how much I miss my own father, since he passed away. With the possible exception of a couple of taxi drivers, every one we met in Italy made us feel welcome and did their best to help us understand your language and customs. We left the beautiful "Green Island" of Ischia with tears in our eyes. Lucille and I will always treasure the many memories of our stay on Ischia. As we told you, our door is always open to you and your family. Ciao, Your good friends Dick and Lucille Spicer 5440 Downham Meadow Sarasota, Fl 34235 USA Ph: 001 941-342-4512 email: dick02@comcast.net

This is a comfortable appartment, with a good sized terrace, from which the view over the islands and the bay of Naples is absolutely breathtaking. We enjoyed our stay, making good use of the local bus service to get around the island. Buses run until midnight. There are 2 restaurants and a good supermarket within 10 minutes walk from La favola. The owner is very helpful and friendly. The only criticism is that the road through the village is quite busy, and noisy in the evenings, and light sleepers may find this a problem. It wasn't a problem for us, and we had a great time here. MARTIN SMMONDS UK simmonds@onetel.com We enjoyed our stay at La Favola immensely. Being situated only 15 minutes by bus to either Ischia Porto or the Maronti beach is perfect. Everything in the apartment was to our satisfaction but we must emphasize the terrasse that makes this place absolutely worth staying at. The view is splendid and the perfect place to relax. The owner, Domenico Buono, is ready to help you in any way and we have a very high opinion of him. We will defnitely recommend the place to friends and family and we will come back another time! Anita Cordes DK email: anita_cordes@yahoo.dk A wonderful place to stay! Domenico (the owner), very kindly gave us the 3 bed apartment, though we'd only paid for the 2 bed, on account of us having a 2 yr old and it being on the ground floor! So we were spoiled for space in a wonderfully furnished apartment that normally sleeps about 6-8 people. The best thing about the apt was the huge balcony with a fantastic view of the Bay of Naples. We were about 15-20 mins by bus from the main town/harbour, but the bus service was excellent, every 20 mins, and I preferred to stay slightly away from the tourist section right among the Italians themselves. We had everything we needed nearby - a big supermarket, restaurant, bar and even a playground. We spent 1 week in Sorrento and 1 week on Ischia, and the island was by far the better place to stay - beautiful towns , beautiful seas, great food and wine, and very friendly locals! So thanks again Domenico for everything and perhaps we'll see you again! Paul Drummond IE email: drummop@2.ie

My stay at VILLA LA FAVOLA Ischia Island from April to july 2007

I was a guest at La Favola for four months this year...from April through July. What an amazing adventure. I thought when I saw the photographs on the La Favola website that it surely couldn't be that beautiful. When I arrived and walked up the steps onto the terrace I found that the view was exactly as it was shown on the website...incredibly beautiful and breathtaking. Each time I stepped on to the terrace, from the day I arrived until the day I left, I shook my head with wonder at the beauty of this little bit of heaven on earth. There is no place like it! I enjoyed staying at the villa apartment. It is roomy with all of the conveniences needed for a short or long stay. Domenico and Angelica are wonderful people. They are helpful and honest and very accommodating. The area where the villa is located is a small neighborhood where the people are welcoming and friendly. The local market is a fun place where I found everything I needed as well as a smiling greeting each time I walked in the door. There are several restaurants within walking distance where the food is wonderful food and the service is excellent. The Island bus service is convenient and connects to places all over the Island. There is a great deal to do on the Island and I highly recommend the Gardens and the Castello. But once you see the view from the terrace, you may want to spend all of your time there! Thank you Domenico and Angelica. I hope to return to Ischia and La Favola someday soon. Future guests: ENJOY YOUR STAY! FRANCENE FERRARO United States North Carolina email: bellanonna23@yahoo.com

Villa La Favola testimonial

We first visited Ischia in 2002 and instantly fell in love with this beautiful island. Since then we visit Ischia many times a year every year. La Favola is truely a wonderful place to stay when holidaying on Ischia. The apartment is comfortable, spacious and well equiped. The jewel in the crown is the large terrace providing a spectacular panoramic view of the bay of naples. A supermarket, restaurant, cafe/bar, greengrocer, bus stop, woodland and children's playground are all close at hand. Ischia is served by an excellent public bus system throughout the island. La Favola is special, because it is set apart from the main tourist areas. It has the comfort and the view. All amenities are nearby. Transport is easy and the owners of La Favola the Buono family are so welcoming and friendly. Any little problem is easily resolved and nothing is too much trouble.
