Forio hotellia

Plussat: I liked the sea view and air, hotel architechture, design and decor, spa and pools, restaurant and the amiable waitors, food, plants, homelike atmosphere

Miinukset: tv programs were only in German and Italian, internet access was provoded only in the common area with the queues to the only note-book, I particularly dislikeed rough soldgers' blankets on the bed

Plussat: The heated pools were nice, breakfast was ample and varied. The water from the faucets is all really excellent- we wondered if it was also thermal water. Nice walking distance from Panza and Sorggeto. Overall good value if you get a good price on a room. (We stayed in an economy room during low season).

Miinukset: Our room was across the busy street and up the hill; kind of an inconvenient walk for using the pools. Our room had ants, but the staff did say they would take care of them.

Plussat: How the resturant and staff treatd us. We like atmosphere of the resturant over looking the bay.

Miinukset: We had some problems with ac in are room and we complain about it and they were unable to fixed it.

Plussat: The ppol, spa, and staff were great.

Miinukset: The rooms were not up to 4 star standards so I felt a little mislead. The rooms were not attached to the more modern hotel.

Plussat: very beautiful views of the ocean. Breakfast was nice. staff was friendly.

Miinukset: The shower doors in room 825 are broken. Water floods the floor as a result of shower doors that do not shut completely. This was only a minor set back. Towels helped here.

Plussat: Rooms with tarase ,super view. nice places.

Plussat: It was very well situated close to everything overlooking the sea. Great views in the evening from the roof area where you can have a drink or take your own drink and watch the world go by! I would come back!

Miinukset: Staff hotel could be a bit more smiley at times.

Plussat: Location

Plussat: The rooms were big and bright. The staff at the desk were friendly and had good English. The location could not have been any better- beside lovely restaurants, across from the marina. The room was cleaned every day sportlessly.

Plussat: Their kindness was really amazing, and a location of the hotel is excellent!

Plussat: The hotel staff were really friendly and helpful.

Plussat: The room was very clean and right on the water. The pool and deck were very nice, great views. There were many restaurants and bars close by. The beach was also very close. The staff was helpful and the ferry back to the main land was literally 20 feet away.

Miinukset: Although we were in Italy, I am sure that there were people from many countries staying at the hotel. Based on this, the brochures for the activities such as sailing and scuba diving should have been in other languages such as English or Spanish. Also, the massage and wellness packages were very expensive (more than expected). The bed, while big, was 2 beds put together (not exactly romantic).

Plussat: garden

Miinukset: breakfast

Plussat: Beautiful surroundings, and design.

Miinukset: The towels were poor, as they don't absorbe the water. Had to wait a long time at breakfast for Coffee, or they got it wrong!

Plussat: location, garden. quietness, pool

Plussat: View from the balcony and from the rooftop- the sea and the island. The pool has decent hydro massage.

Miinukset: Bed is very firm. I guess this is typical for Italy. The pressure is very weak in the bidet. It did not seem that the mineral water in the pool was refreshed often.

Plussat: across the street from citara beach, 2 mins from Poseidon spa and the bus stop. Clean, comfortable rooms. Generous breakfast.

Miinukset: No complaints.

Plussat: The peculiar 4 star rating of this hotel can only be justified by its location, which is directly across the road from Citara beach and right next to the blissful Poseidon thermal gardens. Once you enter these gardens and the thermal water, you feel cured and instantaneously uplifted, as if you're bathing along with the ancient Gods in heaven. The entrance fee in October is 30 euros for the day, 5 of which you get back at the end, which is totally worth it. But if you're on a small budget, the Punta Imperatore have their own charming little thermal swimming pool with its own hydro-massage function, and thermal water periodically flows out of the water-vase which keeps the pool very warm, even throughout the night.

Miinukset: Food acts as one of the main let downs in this hotel. Even though the breakfasts are reasonable comprising of a buffet of the usual sweet croissants, boiled eggs, bread, cheese, ham, yoghurt, canned fruit, jams and cake, one is dying for some variety after a few days, and the worst is the coffee which is of such poor quality that it is an embarassment to Italy. Unfortunately we booked the half-board option on Booking.com as a special add-on, and were incredibly disappointed on the 1st evening. One of the things we were mostly looking forward to in Italy is the delicious food, but sadly it would not be an exaggeration to call dinners at the Punta Imperatore appauling, and we weren't allowed to cancel the half-board option.

Plussat: Unpretentious. Incredibly quiet and peaceful. Next door to Poseidon Spa Gardens. Several eating places close by.

Miinukset: The thermal pool area was not particularly attractive. The breakfast was not special. Everthing was "adequate" and very good value for money.

Plussat: location, bus station in the front of hotel, superb view from balcony, beach 20 m from hotel,friendly restaurants on the beach

Plussat: The car parking for free, the seaside view, the terrace,

Miinukset: the rooms are a bit small for people with a baby

Plussat: Good location near Thermal Park and beach, very clean own pool with thermal water. Nice breakfast and very friendly hotel stuff. Excellent panoramic view and sunset show from sea side rooms. Perfect choice to stay in any season for cure and excursions over Napolitano gulf. We had a perfect holydays in this hotel.

Plussat: friendly staff and very helpful direttora; we hope she will still be there next year; the hotel is perfectly situated (near Poseidon garden and the wonderful Citara beach); cosy atmosphere and nice guests, no parking problems; a perfect holiday

Miinukset: Only that we had to leave when our holiday was over... but we'll be back!!! :-)

Plussat: The closeness to the Poseidon spa beach

Miinukset:

Plussat: the pool, the location

Miinukset: Cleaning staff were very friendly and helpful, and dealt with the ant infestation in the bedroom and wardrobe. Management were not so helpful...asked 3 times for an extra pillow (only 1 per person) and towel (only 1 for 2 people!), and each time this involved a trek from the annexe we were in to reception and back.

Plussat: Hotel was quıte far evey from my expectations and from the level of 4 star hotel.Room was very small there was no towels.Personal of the hotel was not polite food was very poor.

Miinukset: swimming pool wıth thermal water

Plussat: Really very caring service stuff! Other advantages: nice place, swiming pool area, good cuisine, convenient means of transport

Miinukset: Lack of air conditioners

Plussat: Quite good breakfast, but no compare with Centreal Western Europe.

Miinukset: We have got a very humid room. There is most probably a problem with a roof and seems that all walls have got quite lot of water, especilly in the last raining period of October. All blankets where actually wet, bathroom almost not functional, looking like an old fashion 1* hotel. There was no air con in the room to heat at least and can´ t imagine the how hot could be in the summer time. After one night we have changed for other one!

Plussat: It was exactly what I expected for the money paid maybe even a little nicer. Behind another large hotel so cannot see the sea, but through a locked gate and a very short walk on a sidewalk and there it is! Doesn't have a private beach with chairs to rent but it's still nicer than the crowded public beach down the shore! Beautiful views, 3-4 restaurants on the beach walk, breakfast consists of breads and cereals, juices, meat and cheese and coffee choices (cappacino!) Friendly staff with adequate English skills. International clientele many from Eastern Europe. Small outdoor pool cold and smaller indoor warm water pool great for morning exercises. Loved the little patios at each room to put wet swimsuits on the laundry rack. Nice store and deli on the main road and taxis all close by. Bathroom was nice and clean with beautiful new towels and shampoo provided daily. Very quiet location. Good stay!

Miinukset: Long walk from the public bus. Fine with no luggage too far with luggage. Take a taxi with luggage. If hotel could pick up at the road for arrival that would be fantastic!! Room had a musty smell, but that seems to be normal in all old buildings in Italy. Bed covers should be upgraded.

Plussat: friendly staff , small, but clean and nice decorated rooms in main building ,short walk to city centre and to the beach ,good ( only cold ) breakfastbuffet - small pleasant hotel with a family atmosphere

Plussat: friendly staff

Miinukset: room, looking (at a rather dark) internal courtyard. Breakfast extremely basics.

Plussat: We stayed 3 nights here on our way to Sicily. The hotel was fairly charming and the staff very helpful. Good pool and sunbathing areas. We didn't eat an evening meal at the hotel but the breakfast was good and there was a good selection for snacks if lunching by the pool. Hotel was quiet and relaxing. Excellent location for the town and sight seeing. I would recommend this hotel to others.

Miinukset: We stayed in the annex rather than the hotel which was a little disappointing and the "garden" was synthetic grass mats that needed updating. The room was clean but basic and it lacked a fridge which would have come in handy. I would describe the hotel as charming but could do with a few updates around the grounds.

Plussat: The hotel staff were the best we have experienced they certainly made the guests feel at home. The food was great value for money and the hotel facilities were excellent

Miinukset: The rooms were basic, not a lot of storage space for your clothes, and no baths only showers

Plussat: The swimming pool!

Plussat:

Miinukset: It was sooo far away from anything. You required a scooter, car or an unenjoyable bus ride to get anywhere.Hotel was not the cleanest either. We only stayed one night of our original stay.
