What we did and saw in Ischia - part 1

[@pattyfromfl]

You are so lucky to be able to take Holly with you everywhere. The US is not so dog friendly.

[@carolinellewellyn4630]

I'm just watching this too. I'm from Australia and we can't take our dog anywhere.

[@mariamessina1475]

@@carolinellewellyn4630 annoying isn’t it. I’m in Australia also and was surprised when I was in Italy in 2019 that dogs go everywhere with their owners.... wish we could do that here. My dog is better behaved than some kids 🤣❤️😂

[@7ofthem]

NZ definitely isn’t dog friendly. My girls aged 8 and 12 were delighted to find themselves sat next to a cute wee dog on our flight from Paris to Florence on our holiday .

[@annmarienoone9879]

We spent a day in Ischia. We ate in a very small restaurant on a back street. The waitress said she had a fish and rabbit. She told us she was born in ischia, raised in Connecticut. The rabbit came with his teeth intact. It was one of the most memorable meals we have had on our many trips to Italy. We had a lot of laughs, good food with good friends. It was a perfect day.

[@johnkeenan4184]

That Hotel terrace, so tastefully put together, what a gorgeous place,

[@wandrousvindella716]

My FILs family is from Ischia. We visited Forio for the first time in fall 2019. Can't wait to return! So beautiful and close enough to Amalfi/Naples. Thank you for the lovely vlog~

[@christianmartino2222]

Hi, I am Italian and I live in Ischia, and this video happened to me by scrolling on KZbin and I never expected one to make a video about Ischia.

[@NickiPositano]

perche no? Ischia e bello!

[@lee9604]

Such fun to watch, I was so engaged I could have watched forever! I jumped with you in the tunnels, kind of scary! My mothers family is from there and I have never been, so it's treat to see it. TY!

[@barbarawillis5187]

Ischia through your eyes is a lovely place for a relaxing vacation with beautiful views, yummy looking food and friendly people. A perfect vacation for you Carlo and Holly.

[@jeanneamato8278]

Love the ‘pebble house’. We can see Ischia from our house on a clear day.

[@NickiPositano]

We can see it from the road to Piano on a clear day too!

[@macorey54]

I love your videos! My daughter and I visited Naples, Pompei and Italy for the first time last August. She picked the spot out without telling me and bought tickets and everything. I was a little overwhelmed by Naples, but we had a blast. I'm thinking we need to go back and visit Positano, Capri and Ischia!

[@keithjefferies9862]

just love the way you keep it real and Carlos is cool

[@NickiPositano]

Hi, Keith, I'm Carlo, Thank You!

[@beijaflor1492]

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 37 years ago I visited this Island, and Capri! I brought a beautiful dining table cloth from there for my Mother. Just viewing via your Vlog still reminds me of its exquisitness. Viva Italia💙

[@bettyboop3971]

I spent the afternoon watching the videos on Ischia, Capri, Cornwall, Clifftop Hike to a Secret Beach and another on errands and cooking. It was a lovely way to spend an otherwise boring afternoon, thank you!

[@NickiPositano]

Thanks for watching them all!

[@karentozer1871]

That looks like a lovely holiday, the stone house looked very interesting!

[@luv2travel2000]

😘😍😊 Wow. This is lovely. It would be wonderful to stay here. Nice!!!

[@christinasmyth5674]

How does Holly balance so well on the scooter 😮

[@suzannes5888]

So brave of you to walk though those hand dug tunnels in "The Rock House" on your vary next trip to Ischia after you experienced that earthquake the year prior 😳 lol ....on the other hand, that house is probably a few hundred years old and has survived all of the earthquakes and tremors in Ischia over the years, including the 1883 quake...the beautiful and crazy history of Italy - it's mesmerizing!

[@janetlombardi2314]

What a beautiful day out together well deserved nice to see Ischia my mother who was Italian always said Ischia is beautiful i will pay a visit during my time in Italy hope you enjoyed your time there thank you for sharing beautiful people

[@NickiPositano]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@supriyabarsode8039]

Loved the place you were staying in the kitchen esp with the blue tiles !enjoyed the pebble house like seeing flintstones home. Love the way carlos smiles whenever you direct the camera at him.

[@Gardis72]

This was life as we use to live it, and hopefully will be able to live again at some point.

[@rsoubiea]

So your kitchen is outside? How lovely! Your hotel is adorable, great views.

[@padhhmmapadhhmma6781]

Hi!from India!Chanced upon ur videos and loved them so much that I should plan to visit all these places in the near future!U should be made an tourism ambassador of ur country fr promoting ur country so beautifully!

[@aliddlebird]

What an odd but cool house! And that's uh, quite the water feature 🤣

[@aoefeable]

Thank you for sharing where you stayed, I’ve made a booking for May based on your recommendation that a day is not enough time.

[@karenglaicar5486]

Nice tour. Very nice video. Thanks and take care.

[@annettewalter2273]

Thank you for the tour, I loved it. You are lucky with Holly. In Australia all you see are No Dogs Allowed signs. She is so sweet I wouldn’t want to ever leave her at home. That stone house was hilarious, the tap was a talking point But I don’t fancy sitting on the loo or in the bath tub. Ouch!

[@phylissproctor8049]

What a lovely place. Wonderful tour guides. Silly bug biting you. Lol. Filomena

[@lauralee9041]

Wow I had no idea about Ischia so thank you for sharing. I pray one day I will be back to italy and will definitely add Ischia to a place to visit. As you know, I love your videos. I just love seeing how beautiful your area is.

[@NickiPositano]

thanks!

[@paolocabrini107]

S.Angelo! Il posto più bello di Ischia!

[@verenatravelssolo2527]

Just what I needed to give me a nudge and book my next Ischia trip. Roll on September. Love your Vlog! I love the quiet of Ischia Ponte, staying at Villa Antonio, which has the best view on the island (other than the Castello terrace. The stone house is a new one for me.... reminds me of the story of King Midas, just with stone instead of gold.

[@NickiPositano]

If it had been gold it would not be there anymore!

[@joannsalas7015]

I can never get tired of watching your vlogs. What a beautiful place! I want to come back to Italy so bad LOL! I don't know what I would be more scared of riding around in the scooters or that tunnel! Thanks Nicki for sharing. Beautiful skirt!

[@NickiPositano]

Tunnels are scarier!

[@hofame8562]

That Sphynx you saw was built for a movie from the 50s/60s about Cleopatra

[@jeppekimoseofficial3799]

That hotel looks great (y) Nice vlog! You inspired me to make a vlog of my Ischia trip!

[@skyeseaborn1170]

This is wonderful!✨

[@mandymartin2875]

Wonderful as always xxx💜💙💜

[@AsadKhan-hp2se]

Lovely memories, seen the weird house with all those stones the restaurant pescatore and the ice cream place. Have a smashing holiday the three of you.

[@NickiPositano]

thanks!

[@sergpinto1]

I was there, very beautiful.

[@mf5531]

great video. great poochie, too.

[@yakubyahsi4141]

thank you very much for nice Videos

[@PriscillaGutierrez]

Wow that stone house was insane!!! Well now everyone will believe you! Cheers from Texas!

[@nadezdadedic-robinson673]

I had to laugh thinking of toilet paper made of pebbles. Imaging using something like that... Still, one has to give the owner credit for being consistent.

[@samanthab1923]

Made me think of the Talented Mr Ripley.

[@heathermarsh6000]

Great!!! my favorite video!

[@tess2626]

Wow! Stunning.

[@privatemauro3099]

Did you realize you had just happened upon the English group Jamiroquai? The last band videoed on the street. So special to just see them randomly for free!

[@DCAbsolutJohn1]

So glad you guys had fun there! One of my favorite places. Do you have another video to show everyone else the castel?

[@BethCampbell-b9c]

Love, love, love!! How did you train your dog to ride and stay still while you are on your scooter? I’m beyond amazed!

[@tracy484]

Love it ...so beautiful...

[@3paynes]

Wonder where he got all the rocks? Just around his property? I could explore there for hours!! (not in the tunnels though)

[@elainefree4873]

Love the video - visiting this year - so much to look forward to. But as a biker I advise you to get a better fitting crash helmet 😊

[@NickiPositano]

I would have thought it was obvious that the helmet and scooter were borrowed while on the island. I don’t tend to travel with my own helmet which fits perfectly, unless I am travelling by my own scooter.

[@barbaradanna9495]

Do you have to take Holly's food, water and bowl with you everywhere?

[@salvatoredicostanzo1969]

Molto bello, bravi

[@mindyjoslin7279]

Thank you for another great video! Can you write the name of that place you stayed my spelling is terrible and would consider staying on our vacation. We love the places that are smaller and not over tourest-y.

[@NickiPositano]

there is an info box below the video with all the info and links you need

[@jorgeleonardo1957]

What a treat to discover your channel & blogs! Amazing pictures and jaw dropping views. I fell in love with the terrace of the hotel you stayed in Ischia; may we know the name ?..please ! ... would love to book ASAP ! .... many thanks in advance ! .... never mind ... got it ! ... Relais Bijoux Hotel....got to watch the video a few times ! but it was worth it !

[@Nubianette]

I noticed you posted this video in June. I wonder if the music playing in the streets is related to the summer solstice. They do it in France. One year I was there at that time, and when I arrived in Lausanne, Switzerland on the next weekend, they had their summer music festival. I live in California, and there’s a few summer solstice music events in interesting venues, but not all over a city. Lovely video!

[@NickiPositano]

Maybe, I never did find out what it was..

[@Gardis72]

My relatives have a restaurant in Porto D'Ischia si chiama Ristorante Alberto.

[@irisdreu2365]

Wonderful!

[@Normanabutler1]

Awesome vid as usual😀👍 perfect to watch on my Sunday morning. I can’t even imagine how long it must have taken that guy to decorate the house and everything inside it with all those stones!!!! 😁

[@NickiPositano]

I wonder why he started it!

[@rsoubiea]

i love anything mango! 🥰

[@Britt11.11]

Yaay Thanku for the longer video Nicki & ur reply 😁 ........(minus the daily steps grind) 😩 U really are living the holiday life there in Italy 😎 ......very lucky girl indeed.....Bless to u & the Fam!!......Luv Fr. Australia ❤💙💚💛💜

[@NickiPositano]

its really not a holiday life.. i just don't think it would be so interesting if I showed the house cleaning, the washing line, the cleaning of cat vomit and other normal things!

[@Britt11.11]

So True 😂😂😂 xxx

[@paulrobinson3019]

Great vlog.Thanks for showing the Island

[@shivanikumar4097]

Hi Nicki, what's the best way to book the ferry from Positano to Ischia? I've been looking online, but I haven't been able to find a direct ferry.

[@shelly2024blessings]

Going to be in ischia in October. Is that house open to the public? If so, where is it, what's it called

[@ginoperaro3101]

Very nice video Nicki

[@louisesemrani6860]

What a very nice place not too many steps🤪🤪🤪

[@MsMsMinnie]

Is in your opinion Ischia more worth a day trip than Procida? It seems there is more to see on Ischia however the views on Procida are tempting for me as well.

[@NickiPositano]

You cannot do ischia in a day. you need at least one night there. Procida can be done as a day trip

[@aleta5873]

I love stones but that toilet paper cover was too much !! haha OMgosh. Ischia Is. is incredible!! Like a paradise. Every view !! Thank you so much for sharing, Nicki..(Does Holly get tired of walking? And does Carlo have to carry her? They have varying sizes and varieties of doggie packs).

[@NickiPositano]

Holly can walk for hours!

[@aleta5873]

Nicki, wow! She's such a good dog..xo

[@ela_seo]

What a lovely trip to Ischia you took us on. I heard it's an island full o SPAs, do you recommend one specifically?

[@NickiPositano]

Negombo or Poseidon

[@TheRindyrae]

Ischia is another cue town, That house your toured made out of stone is something else. When you were walking through the first tunnel or cave I thought I saw a person head in a basket or something. There is no way that man takes a bath in that tub made of stone?

[@actioncat1611]

fun video.please make more.

[@sameeraiyer372]

Between positano and Ischia which one would you recommend ?

[@NickiPositano]

Hi Carlo here, very sincerely I strongly suggest you go to Ischia, or at least that's what I would do!😘👋

[@martamartin6639]

Oh my god, i love this video. That place with everything make of rocks was weird , and scary. I liked the hotel with the pool, the gelato and must of it , the food. I also enjoyed seeing Holly. By the way , how old is Holly? She is so cute.! 💝

[@alomafoggo3239]

Capri and Ischia are so beautiful and the food looks delicious💕💕

[@NickiPositano]

we found Holly, she was abandoned so no idea of her age.

[@martamartin6639]

Thank u! She looks like a baby. So adorable!😊

[@carolwood9270]

Every day a feast for the eyes. Such a wonderful place to live. There is probably very little crime because the S urroundings would soothe any anger out of people........I’m thinking....

[@aleta5873]

Hi Nicki, any issues with the Stromboli volcano explosion for you ? Hope all is well.

[@NickiPositano]

we're near Vesuvius, not Stromboli!

[@Youngpoet15]

Love the videos. Where does Holly ride when on the Vespa?

[@NickiPositano]

in the footwell

[@Youngpoet15]

Nicki Positano she is a very impressive dog. You have trained her well. 😊

[@parisad2079]

Where were you exactly in ischia? Ischia has different regions

[@Ahuntsicspotter]

Moon at the end of the video.

[@danielaguzman6489]

Beautiful place!!!!! What’s the name of the hotel?

[@NickiPositano]

All info is in the info box under the video

[@robertwilkins8357]

Carlos is staying quite, did it affected by the rude comments I think which is sad. If I am wrong please forgive me. It seems he really is upset.

[@kwlnd4591]

There's a fine line between genius and insanity. ... “Genius is nothing more nor less than childhood recaptured at will ..... but I’m very scared 😱 Holly & Nicki GET THE HECK OUT ! Lol Lol Btw ❤️the skirt & same lippy 💋different day !

[@NickiPositano]

It was probably Huda BEauty Muse lipliner and a revlon ultra HD gel in 705

[@kwlnd4591]

Grazie 💋 btw my Huda lipliner go to COLOR: Icon is a classy peachy pink

[@ranudas6829]

🙏🌷🌷🌷

[@debramoss4089]

LOVELY!!!

🥰❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@jadesmith574]

Hi, Nicki, Carlo & Miss Holly! Great video and such a gorgeous Island🌟 From what my mom has told me my Grandfather was from Ischia. Thank you for sharing. Waiting eagerly for Part 2. 🌟🏝🙌🐶🛵🍒❤️

[@NickiPositano]

The internet is not very good at the moment so cannot upload it;(

[@giuseppedispigna6360]

where name.of.this hotel?

[@padhhmmapadhhmma6781]

Can we manage with English in these places?

[@fulviomiglio4162]

Yes of course

[@manuelaesposito4696]

W ischia

[@johnmc64]

👋😀🔆

[@dianaAJC]

Without wanting to desrespect the owner of the house... surely there are some artistic creativity there, however the excess of it... it becomes quite bizarre the house decor and it feels claustrophobic and a bit creepy.

[@gilbert3848]

the stone house was a hoot. Reminds me of the Sex Museum in Miami, FL.

[@Aih777]

Ischia looks like a Greek island.

[@carolwood9270]

It’s as though the man at the house needs to keep on decorating with stones to keep busy. It is unusual....

[@NickiPositano]

I'm Carlo, Ciao Carol he is unusual, but when I talked to him, he made me understand, in his mind, that he was driven by the passion to create something artistic.

[@johnpaulbuono]

My parents were born there

[@margaretfry3043]

Too much claustrophobic
