Forio hotels

The hotel provided a free shuttle bus to the local village, Panza, from where it was possible to get a bus all around the island. They also provided a shuttle to the great beach at Citara and the Poseidon water park.

Pros: The hosts were very friendly, the room nice and the view was great! All in all a very good place to stay. Would absolutely recommend :)

Cons: Nothing :)

Pros: Location

Cons: Location

Pros: Sea view was gorgeous. All staff were super nice and food was delicious.

Pros: We have a good chill rest! It’s wonderful villa, nice sea view, vert good breakfast with fresh juices. All for the relax.

Cons: may be kitchen for the lunch. it’s so so.

Pros: Straight away we were greeted with kindness and a great service. The room was comfortable with a beautiful view from the balcony. The B&B is surrounded by flowers and cactuses which made the view even prettier. Two of the pools were hot and open 24/7. Such a relaxing experience to watch the sunset while swimming. Breakfast was as well a good mix. For people without car it gets quite sporty to explore the island. There is a bus close to the B&B and we were driven to the bus station so we didn’t have to walk uphill. Definitely had a great stay at this place!

Pros: Very friendly host. Great views from the terrace for breakfast. Close to a natural thermal water beach!

Cons: Very down hill if travelling by foot. No proximity to a city centre (but buses available)

Pros: The host and her daughter are both very nice and welcoming. They served homemade breakfast every morning on the terrace, with a view of the sea. The location is good, Panza had great restaurants.

Pros: Amazing variety of food for the breakfast.

Cons: the location is a bit difficult to access if you don't have a car.

Pros: If you like quiet streets, ascents and descents, if you are not afraid of numerous stairs - you here in the Panza. And Villa Natalina is the best place to stay here. All the good that is written earlier about this mini-hotel is true. Friendly, caring and friendly hostess Natalina and her daughters will make sure that you have a hearty delicious Breakfast (sausage, cheese, butter, yogurt, a large selection of jams, juice, fruit, delicious fresh pastries) and great coffee. Dear, Natalina, the taste of your coffee is unforgettable!! You will have Breakfast on the beautiful terrace overlooking the sea and the mountains. Dear friend! Your room will be perfectly cleaned every day, you will have snow-white towels every day. I had everything this. In the lobby the hotel there is a coffee machine and a kettle, and you can make coffee or tea for free at any time. On foot in 15 minutes you will reach the center of the village, where there are wonderful cafes, pizzeria, shops and supermarket. The owner of the Villa is always there and you can ask any question. I had a heavy suitcase and Natalina's husband took me to the bus station. For this my special big gratitude. To get from the port of Ischia to the Villa you can take a taxi or city bus №1, having bought a ticket in advance 1.5 E at the bus station. In the future, bus tickets are sold in all stores. Ask at checkout. Ischia is the pearl of Italy, a beautiful country with wonderful, friendly and very colorful people. I want to return here. And to Natalina's Villa, too.

Cons: liked everything

Pros: Location was perfect and the host very friendly

Cons: The bed was too hard.

Pros: Clean,nice room great breakfast,great if you rented a car as is not cose to much ,great restaurant up the road

Cons: Location

Pros: We chose a hotel near Sorgeto Bay (10 minutes walk) and away from the noisy shopping streets. The location is very good: quiet street, friendly neighbors and their dogs, wonderful views of the mountains and the sea. Everything you need is a 10-minute walk away: bus stop, supermarket, restaurants. To get from the port to the hotel you can get on bus 1, CS or CD.(bus number 1 goes faster) Breakfast is served on the terrace with a view on Sant'Angelo and the sea. The breakfast and coffee is amaizing (it would be nice to add an scrambled eggs). The room is large, bright and clean. Large balcony with view of the mountains and the sea. Big and comfy bad. Very good Wi-fi. Natalina and Anna are wonderful, very friendly and helpful. The feeling that you're visiting friends. Thank you very much for the good memories!

Pros: Very nice B&B close to Sorgeto hot springs and to the bus stop Panza. Natalina and her daughter are very friendly and helpful hosts doing their best to make your stay comfortable. Breakfast is served on the terrace with a beautiful view on the sea. Natalina's daughter speaks some English and German, which helps a lot.

Pros: Perfect stay in a paradise, few minutes walk from an amazing beach with thermal water. The family who runs the pension is wonderful. The breakfast with home cooked food was incredible.

Pros: Liked the room with a view of the sea. Clean, quiet sleep, beautiful view through the window and from the balcony, delicious breakfast, close to Poseidon Thermal Water Park. Helpful staff, and on our departure - a gift of a souvenir alcohol drink, it is lovely ...

Cons: It would be a plus for free air conditioning, but for us in May it was not needed yet.

Pros: Absolutely amazing. I stayed at Hotel Riva del Sole with my mother, and there couldn't have been a better place for having rest, enjoy our family time and relax. The owner, Signore Vittorio, does his best for all the guests to feel like home - and you really feel like you have made new friends there :) The level of service is very high, the personnel is very friendly and helpful, and people who take care of you in the restaurant (I just can't use the word "waiters"!) are just amazing. Peppino is the best, really :) And it's very calm there, which is just what we needed to have good rest and "re-charge the batteries". Riva del Sole has direct access to the beach (plus two swimming pools at the hotel territory), Poseidon's Gardens are very close, bus stop is just opposite to the hotel. Rooms are nice and clean, food is tasty, memories which remain are just great :) Thanks a lot, Riva del Sole, hope to be back!

Cons: WiFi coverage could be improved, air conditioning could be made free, a small fridge in the room would be nice to have.

Pros: Lovely staff, excellent pool

Cons: Wifi didn’t allow Pokemon go :(

Pros: 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.

Cons: N/A

Pros: Everyting was wonderful.

Pros: Lovely building and enormous junior suite. Perfect location and tasty breakfast. Clean rooms and amazing view of the see from the terrace. Overall, we are very satisfied with the Nettuno hotel.

Cons: Little expensive.

Pros: Location and staff were great, very clean too

Cons: The breakfast wasn't great...there didn't see to be a bar or much in the way of food

Pros: Position, cleanliness, decor

Cons: Lack of staff, the hotel is run on autopilot with no staffed bar or outlets. It’s not lively in the evening or anytime during the day. Breakfast is good but not like holiday inn even considering Mediterranean culture about breakfast.

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

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

Pros: Staff and spacious accommodation

Cons: All ok

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

Cons: 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.

Pros: Exellent food,good staff very friendly,beautiful spa and terme,walking distance to town!!

Pros: Great location right by the beach Quiet & mature clientele so no noisy nightlife or kids ! Spotless rooms Sunset views Not too many English people (we are English ourselves)

Cons: Not a dislike but we had to figure things out for ourselves Also make sure you ask for another room if you’re not happy with first offering We were taken to a tired older wing to musty room, we eventually got a room in main building with great sunset views on the left wing

Pros: Nice property. Great location right on the beach with several pools. Staff was very friendly.

Cons: The food was very average so we would not do the half-board again (just breakfast).

Pros: The location was great and the private lido made it easy to relax. The room had a view of the sea with a small terrace

Cons: The fitness center had almost no equipment and old rusty machines. The breakfast lacked more options such as more types of cheeses maybe ricotta or mozarella and the juice was not drinkable as it was so artificial, being in Italy fresh juice could have been expected specially when you pay the price we did. beds were very hard but thats always the Italian way :-)

Pros: Location, nearby is a nice restaurant “Da Giovanni” - were there for dinner, recommend to try. Forio is not far from hotel, city center can be reached in 20-25 minutes by foot. The room was clean and comfortable, in a villa in 5 minutes from main building. The sea view was beautiful.

Cons: Breakfast is the same every day with limited choice - there is only one hot meal (scramble with/without bacon), fresh watermelon and some other fruits, though we liked a very wide range of pastry. We stayed for 5 days and were satisfied with the breakfast. On the beach an umbrella and sun beds can be reserved to book a first sea line for the stay, but it costs €15/day and is not explicitly stated anywhere. The room was clean, but when we ran out of shampoo, the housekeeper did not bring a fresh one, had to ask for another at the reception (a bit strange and annoying for a 4-star hotel). P.S. If you book a non-refundable room via booking.com, you can be asked to pay for the stay in full for the second time during check out (the hotel said they did not charge any money), so your check out can last for 20 minutes instead of normal 5.

Pros: Great hotel in a great location

Pros: Sunsets

Cons: Food is not good. Boring taste. No variety. You can eat better at restaurant s around the corner. Generally old rooms with a smell. Not comfy. Place needs renovation. Not managed with passion.

Pros: 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.

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

Pros: 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.

Cons: 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.

Pros: The guy at the reception is very kind

Cons: All perfect

Pros: 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.

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

Pros: 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!

Pros: 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!

Cons: Nothing

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

Cons: Nothing

Pros: 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.

Cons: 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.

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

Pros: 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

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

Cons: Beds awful!

Pros: 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.

Cons: 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.

Pros: The gorgeous views of the sea.

Pros: 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.

Cons: 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.

Pros: It‘s a very beautiful spot with magnificent views of the coast.

Cons: We were hosted in the dependance Villa Caterina and had to take a shuttle bus every time we wanted to use the facilities of the main building.

Pros: This place is a retreat. Make sure to ask about transportation services so you can enjoy fully. You’ll need to be mobile and call in advance if you have specific preferences but the place is a true retreat.

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

Pros: 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.

Pros: 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.

Cons: 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.

Pros: Lovely Hosts, Location, breakfast on a terrace with view, spacious comfort double room

Pros: 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.

Cons: Nothing

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

Pros: 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.

Pros: Amazing staff and rooms

Cons: Too many stairs, but that’s ok

Pros: 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.

Cons: Nothing, it was all fantastic!

Pros: 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.

Cons: niente!

Pros: My wife and I are vegan. They were able to meet our dietary requirements.

Cons: The rooms were a bit small and dated, and the shower was small, but I don't find this unusual when traveling in Europe at smaller hotels.

Pros: Paola and Wanda at the reception - hospitable, caring and unobtrusive. Comfortable, clean and quite room. Perfect location

Cons: Wi-fi

Pros: Fantastic location with a beautiful garden - a little oasis. Lovely pool and great friendly staff. Hostess was wonderful and caring you really felt part of a family. Very helpful with day trips and good advice.

Pros: Amazing small hotel with great private pool. Clean and cozy with good breakfast. Wonderful place for rest with children. Good sand beach nearby.

Cons: A little bit harder to walk down to the sea.

Pros: Fantastic staff, beautifully kept garden and great attention on the owners’ part to ensure guests were accessing everything the island has to offer.

Pros: A lovely clean hotel with a beautiful garden, great location and super friendly and helpful staff

Pros: Paula the hotel manger is so nice... every thing we asked was immediately answered. The food was delicious , we had breakfast lunch and dinner all very tasty. We arrived with 3 small kids and we got a room with bunk bed, after we used the room we asked for a room with 2 single beds since the little kids can fall and they immediately changed our room. Few times we needed a ride for the supermarket, children playground and even to the ferry-port and they very graciously gave us a ride with their car. Felt like home They gave us great recommendations for nice beaches and restaurants around the hotel. The hot and cold pool were very pampering and we had a lot of fun using them. The hotel garden is very beautiful and nurtured with nice swings...Very relaxing This was a very good experience for us and we definitely going back there in our next visit to Ischia

Cons: We enjoyed everything

Pros: Good location, not far from the beach, 20 minutes walk from Forio center. The hotel has an amazing garden, relaxing park with two swimming pool. The breakfast was various and fine.

Cons: The bathroom should have been cleaner.

Pros: Paola the manager really is the heart of this hotel. Nothing was ever too much trouble. The hotel has a lovely welcoming feel and the staff are amazing. A beautiful hotel on a beautiful island!

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Staff was very accomadating and pleasant. The owners have a passion for the botanical garden which is apparent in the care they take in the cultivating the botanical park. The Cactus bar was lovely. Amazing sunsets from the patio. Staff provided a very reliable taxi driver and good dinner recommendations.

Cons: The photos of the hotel were misleading, as the common areas, entryway, and rooms are dated and worn. The landscaping, paint, furniture and fixtures of the hotel need attention and updating.

Pros: Everything about Villa Ravino was fabulous. The villa was immaculate. The staff was friendly and accommodating. The owners, Edith and Pepe did everything possible to make our stay the best ever. They are warm and really care about their guests. The grounds are just beautiful with a botanical garden that is just awesome. And the view, sunset, thermal pool, and breakfast were excellent! We can’t wait to come back!

Pros: Location is magical! Staff is super friendly and accommodating

Pros: This is a great place to relax with private baths and an amazing garden. You can have eat breakfast in the beautiful scenery and explore the surrounding area from there. If you don't have something in the apartment, you can always ask for help! Staff very polite and always helpful!

Cons: Would be great to drink a coffee from the coffee machine on the terrace or in the room.

Pros: All the staff were great and super friendly! The botanical gardens were amazing and not advertised with the booking but was a real bonus, especially the restaurant.

Cons: No pool/beach towels provided

Pros: We had a simply amazing stay at the Villa Ravino. This place was even more beautiful than we had expected! Our room was very comfortable, quiet and had everything necessary. The terrace was like a small private garden, where you can spend your evening in the company of singing birds and a bottle of good vine. The staff was very friendly and always ready to help. The location is really nice: the best Ischian beach is only 20 minutes walk away, Forio - 25 minutes and a bus stop - 2 minutes. And of course, along with great hotel facilities, you have access to a wonderful botanical garden with an impressive collection of plants and a cozy lounge cafe. Everything was just perfect!

Pros: Villa Ravino is a great base for exploring Ischia. There's a bus stop right outside (buses go all around the island) and some good restaurants within a 10 minute walk. The Villa is inland and has a really stunning view over the ocean from the front terrace. Luca, our host, was so helpful. He knows the island really well and was happy to help with recommendations and bookings (local thermal baths/ boat hire etc.) - plus he introduced us to the best pizza we had on the island (Vito's just up the road). We loved the on-site bar, which is surrounded by cacti (part of the adjoining cactus garden) and serves good food, coffee and drinks. There were a couple of live music performances in the evenings while we were there. The resort is a bit wild with varied plants and wildlife (grapevines, lemon trees, cacti, geckos, peacocks...) but that's all part of it's charm and everything is kept spotlessly clean. It's a place with a lot of character and I'd recommend it to anyone who prefers quirky, boutique hotels to large or luxe resorts.

Cons: We really enjoyed our stay and there isn't anything that spoilt it for us. Note: if you haven't been to Ischia before, be aware that many of the roads are very busy (at least in August) and pavements tend to disappear and reappear at random. The walk from Ravino into the centre of Forio is along a main road and there are few gaps in the pavement, but we did it most days and got used to it pretty quickly.

Pros: The views were tremendous and grounds exquisite. Staff were more than accommodating down to every last detail

Pros: Villa Ravino is a little piece of paradise in Ischia! The place is just great with its botanical garden (just WOW), the fancy bar/restaurant and the swimming pools (one of which is filled with thermal water), as well as many other places where you can chill or enjoy the beautiful sunsets of the island. The apartments are clean and nicely decorated. The tenants are all really nice and helpful. They give you many tips about Ischia, they may also arrange a transfer from the airport to the hotel (including the ferry tickets) which costs 45 euros for 2 people and 72 for one (which is a great value for money considering the taxi / ferry fares plus the advantage of not having to think about anything). Besides, the hotel is just 10 mins away (by car/scooter) from the beaches of Chiaia and Citara as well as from the centre of Forio. Further, they have a free parking ! To make a long story short, we had a GREAT TIME and will surely come back!

Cons: Nothing !
