    Nothing, it was perfect!

    The hotel was gorgeous. The views from the rooms were breathtaking. The breakfast was delicious. There were a selection of breads, eggs cooked to order, cured meats and cheese, and fresh fruit. The private swimming area was so comfortable and there were never more than 2 other guests on the terrazzo. The staff was incredibly helpful. The hotel was well located for a short walk into Forio. I took a combination of taxis and buses and it was all well connected.

    Nothing. Only downside is if you’re looking for thermal pools, you’ll have to spend the day elsewhere. However, I enjoyed the direct access to the ocean and enjoyed walking to places so that wasn’t an issue for me.

    Location, direct access to ocean and walking distance to town center. Beautiful views, basic yet comfortable and spacious rooms with a sea view terrace. Limited number of rooms so felt as if I was in a private villa steps from the sea rather than a hotel catering to many.

    Our stay was almost perfect aside couple things related to sleeping. Two of the three nights we were kept awake from the staff rearranging tables and chairs upstairs late at night. Also, I like a firm mattress, but this one was a little too hard and the pillows are a little lumpy. If it weren't for this, it would have been 10/10.

    If you're staying in Forio and you want a fairly priced hotel with a good view, look no further. The view is breathtaking. It's an excellent value for the money. Our room was charming, good size and had a lovely terrace with gorgeous views of the cliffy coastline. They also have a little private seaside area with lounge chairs which is even better than the beach, in my opinion. Could not be better in this regard. The best meal we had during our stay was in the hotel restaurant, so don't miss it! The staff were exceptionally professional and friendly, they made us feel right at home. They are very warm will accommodate all of your needs. I love the location, it was very convenient to walk to the town/port and it's right underneath their famous chapel. Forio is full of vacationing Italians, so it has an authentic Italian feel and isn't overtaken by western tourists. There's a perfectly good beach walkable from town if you don't want to venture too far. If you do want to explore around the island, I recommend asking the reception to arrange a scooter rental for you. It was only 25 euro for the day and they bring it to the hotel for you. We had an unforgettable day driving over to Ischia Ponte. But make sure you understand and obey the traffic laws. Local police don't mess around when you disregard the signs.

    The bed was too soft for our taste, but other than that, not a thing! Would love to go back again!

    Wowww! This is an amazing property, jutting out into the sea from a rocky promotory, with a historic church above it. We loved the hotel from the minute we walked into our room and saw the two small balconies, with windows open, right over the rocky shoreline and water. Breakfast was very good, with the outdoor seating overlooking the sea. The experience and the property was amazing. And the small number of guest rooms (maybe 12?) made it a very cozy stay. The room was decorated with the colorful tile and furnishing we found common in the area. Clean, right-sized and comfortable. The location was perfect for us. 5 minute walk to Forio city center, ferry, restaurants, etc.

    My only downside was that I would have loved a coffee machine in the room, to sit and watch the sea with some espresso every day, but I could easily go and get one from the bar if I'd have needed to.

    Absolutely beautiful location. So close to everything else in Forio, but not so close that you're right in the middle! Getting to watch the sunset in that way on the balcony every night was so special. The whole place had such a beautiful classic feel to it, that the place had been nurtured and curated carefully over many years. There was really interesting and beautiful art everywhere. The staff were incredibly friendly and kind, and the breakfast was delicious and bountiful. Definitely book in for an evening meal there, exquisite.

    My shower was extra small but I was able to maneuver it and the room itself with the double patio made up for it.

    Loved every minute of my stay here! Clean rooms, right on the water, close to lots of eating and shopping, tons of light, balcony, breakfast everyday. Marco and his staff were extremely pleasant even for this non-Italian speaker. The restaurant is also amazing and I loved trying rabbit for the first time. Had to share a picture of some of the breakfast options since there wasn’t space for that. Scrambled eggs cooked in olive oil is delicious!

    The bathrooms could use an update, but we’re not that picky so it was mostly fine (other than a weird smell coming from the exhaust fan- we just didn’t use the fan after discovering that). I had also hoped the cafe might be open for a spritz later in the day, but I only ever saw it open at breakfast. If it did have later hours, it would have been helpful to leave some information in the room about that. We got an overview when we checked in, but it was a lot to remember.

    This was the absolute best place to stay on the island of Ischia. Quiet, intimate, with gorgeous sunset views. I loved being able to walk down the steps into the sea, and I always had a shady lounger waiting for me. It was only a 5-minute walk to the shops/restaurants of Forio, and very close to the taxi stand at the harbor. Breakfast was wonderful every day, and you just can’t beat that scenery. Every hotel employee went out of their way to make our stay comfortable, and it was really just a perfect place to experience the beauty of Ischia.
