Forio hotellia

Plussat: Great location and rooms, nice and helpful staff, the food at the restaurant was great accompanied by very service minded staff. The pool and spa area were very nice and the resort had a very relaxing atmosphere. It was a plus that the resort also offered free transportation to certain nearby locations to and from the resort

Plussat: Our stay at the garden villas was amazing. The staff were so kind and accommodating to all of our needs. The location is perfect, in a peaceful area away from all the busy roads. We highly enjoyed our stay here. Thank you!

Plussat: It was beautifully landscaped and the staff were always accommodating, even when ordering meals not on the menu. Was very close to the thermal springs and the driver as part of the resort had great service.

Miinukset: The health centre was being renovated while we were there but that was the only flaw.

Plussat: Apart from these last minute details, the staff is very professional as expected in such a place, and very helpful. The food is absolutely great both for dinner and breakfast. And the area is so peaceful. Once in your room and in the jaccuzzi of the room it feels that you re alone in the world, in the best possible way. It is an expensive place but for an exceptional treat, it is definitely worth it.

Miinukset: There is nothing much not to like in this place once you ve decided to pay the price for this type of luxury. Some things were quite disappointing when we left though. We had to catch our boat back to Naples, the check-out process was unnecessary long (and why do they keep your IDs the whole stay?) but mostly we bought bus tickets from the reception, so did the family before us at the desk, and I think they should have told us that there was a strike that day and that almost no buses were to be found. So we ended up taking a taxi. I think in such a place they should take care of the guests til the end in this type of situations, the minimum would be to let them know there is a strike and offer to order a taxi of some sort.

Plussat: This resort is amazing. Staff is very friendly and very accommodating. Giovanni and Christian in the reception were exceptional. They had great recommendations and were very helpful. Breakfast is really good as well as dinner, where they serve produce grown on premises. Overall great resort and will definitely recommend to stay while on the island.

Plussat: The hotel grounds were beautiful and so idyllic. The photos did not do it justice. Outdoor pool really big and nice, and breakfast was great!! Staff very helpful and quick to assist with anything.

Miinukset: Couldn’t pay for food and drink as you go, can only really pay the whole bill when you check out

Plussat: Very kind personnel, nice area - beach very close to the hotel, clean and nice swimming pool and spa area, water provided every day from the hotel part, very good breakfast and a very good driver that support with travel us on the island on agreed destinations. I would recommend the hotel for the ones that wants to visit Ischia.

Miinukset: Not from the hotel perspective - what I did not liked on the island was the taxi drivers that are keeping all a high price for short distances.

Plussat: Great family hotel. Secluded location a few meters from the beach. As soon as we arrived Teresa greeted us and made us feel welcome. Mario who served us breakfast and evening cocktails is kind hearted and generous. The charm and serenity of this place is all encompassing. The views are breathtaking, the close proximity to the beach, and the clarity of the water make it the perfect place to unwind. It is a 15-20 minute walk to Forio which is a lovely town with lots to do. The only downside is the steep hill to get down to the hotel, restaurants and beach, which makes he challenging for some. We will definitely return.

Plussat: An outstanding location - close both to the city center (20-30 min walk) and Poseidon thermal park (15-20 min walk). Right below in 20 meters there are 2 excellent restaurants (comparing to a number of other options throughout Forio that are highly rated at the well-known restaurant review web-site) for lunch and dinner - definitely in our top 5 of Forio. Has a great beach right downstairs with an amazing view to the bay of Citara (the beautiful place where the Poseidon park is located), one can even have some fun swimming with a mask - there are some bigger and smaller stones around (with some huge ones standing well out of water) so the seabed has some nice landscape to watch, as well as occasional fishes. The hotel provides a decent breakfast and they were able to prepare some custom omelette for our baby upon request. The room (sea view) was stylish, spacey and clean. The view was excellent - one can enjoy it from the private terrace (that each sea view room has) relaxing in a chair. The child bed provided was good and spacey for our 2-years old baby. Sea view rooms are at a distance from the breakfast space (unlike some other rooms, esp. the standard ones) so we had no issues at all with the morning noise mentioned in some reviews. They have a rare great “door system” in the rooms - there is a usual glass door, then there is an extra shutter door with moving louvers, plus a sliding mosquito net for the whole door space. So one can close just the glass door to avoid noise but keep the view, or also close the louvers so that no one sees the room, or open the glass door but close the shutter door and mosquito net to let the air come in. Both the glass door and the shutter door are sturdy and can be locked separately with the same key, so one can safely lock the room in any of the mentioned set ups. They also have quite a powerful exhaust fan in the rooms, so there are no problems to keep the air fresh and have no insects at the same time.

Miinukset: The air conditioning was quite smelly in one of the rooms (we had two rooms as a bigger family) probably because of unchanged filters, so we didn’t want to use it. That is sea view room #2 (for the owners reference). Wasn’t a big deal for us but may be for someone else. One other thing was that our request to clean the blocked sink was probably forgotten on day 1 as it seemed, despite a second reminder, but was quite quickly fixed on day 2. Again wasn’t a big deal for us at all, though there is some space for improvement. The bigger issue is that smoking is prohibited in the rooms BUT allowed on the terrace which has half-open partitions between the rooms (at least for the sea view ones). So we had a few times when our smoking neighbors spoiled the air in our room when we had the door open to get fresh air (quite ironically). When you notice the smell it is usually too late to start closing the glass door. My recommendation would be prohibiting smoking everywhere around the rooms as otherwise the non-smoking rooms don’t make much sense, especially with the exhaust fan that sucks the outdoor air to the inside. Also some people smoke much more often than our neighbors did, so if someone gets such smoking neighbors I can imagine that it could seriously spoil the vacation.

Plussat: The staff Mario is very helpful and he made wonderful cheese cake for breakfast which was very impressive. Overall the stay at the hotel is very enjoyable. The hotel is located at a very beautiful beach.

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Very nice place, helpful staff, especially Mario.... 30 m from nice sandy beach, 2 restaurants close to the hotel.

Plussat: Everything! All is new and nice decorated, bright colours in the room interior. Just few steps and you can reach a wonderful sandy beach! Very good breakfast! Good location.

Plussat: Amazing staff and rooms

Miinukset: Too many stairs, but that’s ok

Plussat: We really loved our stay here. Our highlights were: - The beach. Cava dell'Isola is beautiful and it's only 2 minutes walk (down a slope) from the hotel. In peak season, it got busy during the day (but still with a nice atmosphere) but it was super peaceful in the early mornings and evenings. We thought it was nicer than nearby Citara, which is supposed to be one of the best beaches on the island. - The breakfast and aperitivo - delicious food and great cocktails with stunning views of the ocean - The staff. Lovely family-run feel and really helpful staff. Mario was especially awesome! - The location. We really liked this part of the island. Cava dell'Isola has a couple lovely restaurants right on the doorstep so we didn't really feel the need to explore Forio for the two nights we were there, but it seemed like a great little town. The hotel is also near the Poseidon Thermal Spas, which are pretty pricey but a really relaxing day trip and walking distance from the hotel.

Miinukset: Nothing, it was all fantastic!

Plussat: We had a wonderful time at the hotel. The hotel has really nice colors and a wonderful seabreeze-atmosphere: Walls and tiles all in white and blue - a perfect match to the view from the hotel at the azure-blue sea. The rooms were very comfortable. Great airconditioning and comfy beds. Amazing view at the sea. Breakfeast was very good: Calm atmosphere having a great coffee again with seaview and all the yachts passing by. And you can have breakfeast until 10.30. Nobody is rushing you. Everybody is totally relaxed. Big thanks to Mario at the bar who is very nice and helpful and he makes a great Aperol Sprizz. Big Plus: From the hotel its only a few steps to a beautiful beach with crystal clear water and coarse but soft clean sand which doesn't stick. The water is amazing. Also good for snorkeling, because there are big rocks close to the beach. The hotel has umbrellas and sunbeds to take down to the beach. When you arrive and leave ask for the taxi to drive down the narrow way to the hotel otherwise it is quite a challenge with the luggage.

Miinukset: niente!

Plussat: The friendliness and helpfulness of all the staff. Jean Luc and the young lady on reception always greeted us with a smile. The hotel is clean and bright with lovely views. The breakfast is very good and we had 2 delicious dinners at the hotel. There are several sitting areas including by the pool and jacuzzi. The bus stop is close and it is only a short walk to the seafront.

Miinukset: We would have liked a kettle in the room but staff willingly provided hot water on request.

Plussat: Simple, but very nice hotel with fantastic service. Gianluca and his staff do everything to make sure you have a great holiday including helping you with valuable tips. Very clean and fresh. It’s in a peaceful area and you can really enjoy the small pool area. The food is excellent with great variation. Breakfast of course dominated by cakes, but hey, you’re in Italy! You can also get eggs/omelette if you want. It’s close to spiaggia Chiaia which is just fine.

Miinukset: It’s a 15-20 minutes walk to Forio center and part of the road is small and very busy with cars. Also Forio as such is maybe not the best choice on Ischia, but I guess that’s a personal preference. It’s very simple though to reach all other parts of the island by a bus stopping nearby. The family rooms are quite small, but with smaller children there’s no problem whatsoever.

Plussat: The guy at the reception is very kind

Miinukset: All perfect

Plussat: The staff went above and beyond to cater for our every need. The place was exceptionally clean with a lovely bathroom and excellent shower. The food was delicious and great value at €20 for a 3 course meal. The location was perfect for the beach and Forio.

Miinukset: There was nothing at all that I didn't like.

Plussat: Very nice hotel for a relaxed holiday. It is very quite at the hotel. The location is very convenient. About 5 min by foot to a bus stop and about 10 min by foot to the beach (both public and private parts). About 15-20 min by foot to Forio port and the center of Forio. The hotel territory and the rooms are very clean and nicely decorated. The rooms are cleaned up daily. The relaxation zone with the pool is very nice. The pool is not deep (about 1,10 m maybe), but it`s enough to cool in the warm day. The diners at the hotel are exceptional! The dinner consists of 4 courses and everything is very tasty. The breakfast is good. The hotel owner and his staff are very polite, friendly, always helpful. You can feel like being at the home of your friends, not the hotel. The free transfer to and from Forio port can be organized by the hotel. During the stay, we celebrated the birthday and received a nice suprise at our table during dinner. Highly recommend for the holiday at Ischia!

Plussat: Everything is perfect, the design is thought of in all tiny details. The hotel is a bit away from the main road and it is absolutely quiet, can enjoy birds singing. The food is delicious, Domenico is super in all the senses !!! The best Southern Italian Man! Kids loving, patient and very helpful! Love our stay!

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: View of sea. The dinner. The cappuccino at breakfast. The owners were incredibly gracious.

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Staff were all really nice, friendly and helpful. It's a small hotel which means all the staff recognise you and say hello, etc. and make you feel welcome. Room was very clean. Towels changed when we required them to be changed. Lovely view of the Sunsets every night from our balcony! (Room 3). Nice coffee at breakfast. Close to a nice beach (approx. 350m) and bus stop at end of the road, approx. 200m.

Miinukset: Beds were very hard, not to our liking! It's a little way out of town centre but within walking distance (approx. 15/20mins). Would have liked more fruit options at breakfast as only apples or oranges and Egg options as only 'fried' offered.

Plussat: Friendly and helpful welcome from Gianluca, very clean and well-kept hotel. Good value dinner each evening

Plussat: Lovely staff, excellent pool

Miinukset: Wifi didn’t allow Pokemon go :(

Plussat: 1. Terrace with jacuzzi and sunset view. 2. Easy access to city center. 3. Staff.

Miinukset: 1. Traffic of cars visible from the balcony. 2. No fresh squeezed juice for breakfast.

Plussat: Repeat guest. I love this hotel. The architecture, the location, the staff, the breakfast, and the value. For a small fee you are able to enjoy all of the facilities (spa treatments, etc) at a sister hotel Terme Tritone a 12€ cab ride away. If you want a taste of the lifestyles of the rich and famous :-) ... Hotel Nettuno and Tritone is your best deal.

Miinukset: N/A

Plussat: Everyting was wonderful.

Plussat: Breakfast was very good. The location is close to city center and the sea view is magnificant

Miinukset: The staff proficiency in English was poor limiting their ability to help

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: Great location...in town with a view of the sea. Staff was very kind, helpful and friendly! Great breakfasts! Very good price.

Miinukset: They turned the A/C off in October. Our room was on a busy/noisy street that had a view of the sea. We had to leave our balcony door open throughout the night...smelled of exhaust, cigarette smoke and it was very noisy, making it difficult to get a decent night’s sleep.

Plussat: Respan henkilöt olivat auttavaisia ja ystävällisiä.

Plussat: The food was excellent as were the staff.The location was breathtaking and the attention to detail was superb.Nothing was too much trouble for them.Char

Plussat: Everything was perfect! such a Magical place! We absolutely loved our stay!

Miinukset: Beds awful!

Plussat: The restaurant at the entrance of the hotel was a highlight! Location was great too, pool and the views were exceptional. Close by the water and thermal springs.

Miinukset: If you don't speak Italian you are treated differently and without as much care which was the most unfortunate part of our trip. One of the restaurants connected to the hotel treated my husband and I without much attention and gave us a desert we didn't order and charged us extra for it.

Plussat: The gorgeous views of the sea.

Plussat: great breakfast. We booked the offsite location though which they said was easy to get to the main hotel grounds and a driver would pick us up whenever we wanted. Unfortunately that wasn't as easy or efficient as we expected and wa very to walk.

Miinukset: A better description of the off site rooms. It is not an easy walk and is much like a condo not like a hotel. The towels are stiff and cardboard like, you also get charged to use beach towels.

Plussat: Location was spectacular and the lunch at the outdoor cantina area was food-wise great (and all home grown), and view-wise fanastic.

Plussat: I loved the kindness of the family who owns the place. Loved spending time in the 4 warm and salty swimming pools. The beautiful plants and flowers, the quietness of the place, the food. Will definitely return again!

Plussat: Lovely hotel beautiful pools and wonderful location! The hotel staff was very nice and helpful.

Plussat: Clean, friendly staff

Miinukset: Location of separate building is not within walking distance (5 mins car or 20 min fast walk uphill) and it is not clearly outlined/ illustrated on booking.com. No photographs show how far the separate building is located which is in the town- not set on the cliff.

Plussat: Amazing pools and gardens. Located right next to Poseidon thermal spa park. Went to a couple of extremely local, delicious restaurants on the beach. Beautiful tiles in the room. Lovely seating area outside. Will definitely be back

Miinukset: Breakfast staff were surly.

Plussat: The owner was a lovely person and always happy to help. Every night they cook a dinner for the guests, and it is always amazing (some of the best Italian food we had!!) All the staff were accommodating and great. The bar was reasonably priced with a good range of drinks and snacks.

Miinukset: If I have to say something than I would say the room can feel a bit dark, but I would highly recommend the seaview room as you get a huge terrace

Plussat: Loved our stay here! The owner was so wonderful! The view was fantastic! And the food was delicious and a great value. I’d highly recommend staying at Hotel Belvedere! If I go back to Ischia (which I hope I do), I would stay there again. Very relaxing!

Plussat: The staff was very friendly and spoke English, German and Italian. The breakfast was very good! The outdoor swimming pool was really beautiful and had a nice warm temperature.

Miinukset: The beds were quite hard and the breakfast offered was quite basic - bread and jams

Plussat: Friendly staff, food lovely and clean rooms.

Plussat: Excellent service, they welcomed us like family and was always very helpful

Plussat: It was a great holliday, thanks for all!

Plussat: Everything about the Hotel Belvedere was amazing, from the friendly staff to the beautiful setting with views of the sea and surrounding hills, staying here really enhanced our trip to Ischia. It is a family run hotel and their advice and first-class hospitality were massively appreciated, they really bent over backwards to make our trip special and accommodate our needs. There is a great pool and the rooms are spotless and cleaned daily, fantastic food with fresh fish dishes nightly, really couldn't find fault with anything. Thank you, Salvatore, for having us and to your lovely family (including the 2 dogs!), we will be back!!

Plussat: We enjoyed our stay at the hotel very much. The view is great, the personnel very nice and always ready to help. The shuffle to go to the beach or Forio was very appreciated as the road going to the hotel would be difficult to "climb" on foot ! The kitchen in the 2 people studio is enough and it was very nice to be able to eat on the terrace. We would definitely go back to this hotel if we go back to Ischia island.

Miinukset: Nothing. Everything was great

Plussat: Everything: the superb panorama of the apartment, the new furniture, the freshly refurbished and tastefully refined bath, the kindness of the staff and the owner, the food at the restaurant, where they also met special requests, the atmosphere with live music in the Easter evening, regular shuttle bus to the center, . . .

Miinukset: Eventually, breakfast can be more varied.

Plussat: We return to Hotel Citara for the third time (we missed last year:)) and everything was perfect, thank you very much to Francesco and Lucia, the perfect hosts for all kind advices, help. Also thank you to the staff restaurant, especially Mario (who mainly served us this time). We love Ischia and could have not chosen a better place to stay, hopefully we will return next year, thank you!

Miinukset: The cleaning of the rooms in the morning is a bit noisy and also, please if the hotel can add a Please do not disturb Sign to be hanged on the door, so the cleaning ladies to know when to come in and when to return a bit later, it will be perfect... Thank you very much!

Plussat: Location, swimming pool, thermal pool, staff

Miinukset: Hard beds

Plussat: The thermal spa and rooftop swimming pool. Lucia at reception was very pleasant, welcoming and helpful. The view from the balcony of the ocean and sunsets was great. It is within walking distance of the Poseidon Thermal spas. Fairly easy public bus transportation nearby.

Miinukset: The breakfast staff seemed indifferent. Never once asked if they could get us something. No salt and pepper shakers on the table, while other tables had it. The bathroom was clean, but there was black mold starting to grow above and inside the shower. The shower enclosure was extremely small in size.

Plussat: Ystävällinen henkilökunta, todella puhtaat huoneet ja toimiva ilmastointi. Viihtyisä allasalue, hieno maisema, hyvä aamupala. Hintansa väärti!

Miinukset: Parina iltana paikassa oli joku disko ja musiikki kuuluu huoneeseen tosi häiritsevästi. Muuten hotelli oli todella siisti ja viihtyisä. Kävelemällä liikkuminen oli haastavaa kun liikenne tiellä oli vilkasta eikä erikseen ole kävelytietä.

Plussat: Staff are so helpful couldn’t do enough for me. This hotels in a great location just a short walk to the beach and forio (local town).

Plussat: The pool was lovely and refreshing, and the grounds were excellent surrounding the hotel.

Plussat: Hotel is great, good and green territory Calm and beautiful rooms with services and Beaty centre and 5-7 min to the beach

Miinukset: Just 10-15 min by walk from city centre but it’s worth this to stay in the hotel

Plussat: The pool area was fantastic. The staff were really helpful and friendly. Nice breakfast and snacks available.

Miinukset: We would have liked the air conditioning in our room to be more powerful.

Plussat: Staff, price, quality, cleanings, breakfast-all!!

Miinukset: Everething was perfect

Plussat: Very very kind staff. Thank you.

Plussat: It was beautiful the indoor heated pool was great

Plussat: helpful and polite

Miinukset: nothing

Plussat: Very nice area, beautiful views, nice swimming-pool, peace and quiet. Very nice and helpful staff. Very good location - close to the thermal swimming-pools , to gardens in Forio and a lot of beautiful places. Forio on foot only 20 minutes. Very good coffee and breakfast.

Miinukset: Nothing :)

Plussat: Fantastic location overlooking the sea. Beautiful pool area. Walking distance to Poseiden. Staff was very helpful and friendly!

Miinukset: Wifi in room could be better, however there was a problem when we are there. Otherwise wifi was great in hotel.

Plussat: Friendly staff, wonderful pool, great location (some people may object as there is some distance and altitude to the beach, but great view, and close to bus stop). Citara beach is IMHO the best beach on the island, Maronti a close second. Dinner and restaurant a la carte is great. This was our second stay there and we would come back again.

Miinukset: The breakfast is a bit dull and it takes ages to refill the empty trays.

Plussat: Staff, position, cleaning, pool with amazing view

Miinukset: The breakfast was not the best

Plussat: Vincenzo was an amazing friendly host. He was very accommodating. We plan to have another trip at this hotel again soon!

Miinukset: The bed was a little a firm and it would have been nice to have more pillows because they were a little thin. Other than that, we really enjoyed our stay!

Plussat: Breakfast was tasty but invariable. Good location with marvelous sea view.

Plussat: The hotel has beautiful views and is in walking distance to the beach and the town of Forio. The staff was so helpful and nice and was available for anything I needed.

Plussat: - Staff was lovely, friendly, and reactive: Vincenzo made sure that we had a very warm welcome and answered all of our questions - Great sea view overlooking both the pool and the sea - The thermal pool - Restaurant - Proximity to the thermal gardens (15-20 minute walk)

Miinukset: - Beds were a bit firm but the staff put some padding right away when asked

Plussat: Quiet location., Friendly professional and informative staff. Very clean.

Miinukset: Nothing.
