A beautiful place
Pros:

Beautiful venue. Above-average breakfast. Very nice staff. The hotel is small and cosy. Direct access to the sea - no need for a pool. Large terrace with many sunloungers.

Cons:

We needed to defrost the refrigerator as it was heavily iced over. Dinner at restaurant: not cheap and less sensational than expected.

Pros:

Old charm and tranquillity of the place, proximity to the sea, terrace for breakfast, accommodating staff, sunlounge area with access to the sea.

Cons:

The bathroom could be updated. Also, I would prefer to have a buffet breakfast with a choice of yoghurts, cheeses, cereals, fruit, etc

Good hotel but highly unreasonable restaurant prices
Pros:

Breakfast was good.

Cons:

The restaurant was a rip off. Prices were excessively high for the quality of the food.
This was not a michelin star restaurant yet the prices were similar to a one or two star restaurant.
There is a big difference between a michelin listed restaurant and a michelin star restaurant.

Pros:

Wunderschön am Meer gelegen, traumhafte Aussicht und leckeres Frühstück. Das Hotel ist etwas in die Jahre gekommen, aber gepflegt und sauber.

Cons:

Das dazugehörige Restaurant ist hingegen definitiv KEIN Besuch wert, leider überteuert und kulinarisch nicht überzeugend.

Great location, lovely views
Pros:

Great location with lovely views

Cons:

The bathroom was too small and not clean - probably because it had old fittings. The fridge was noisy so we unplugged it as we weekly using it.

Top für Schwimmen und exkuisite Kulinarik
Pros:

Top-Lage an einem Felsvorsprung unter der Seefahrerkapelle. Direkter Meerzugang und schöne Aufenthaltsbereiche. Top- Michelin-Restaurant an schönster Aussichtslage (Sonnenuntergang über dem Meer inklusive), sehr zu empfehlen. Zum Frühstück gab‘s auf Bestellung auch für jene, die es nicht süss wie die Italiener mögen, etwas Feines (Omelette, Bruschetti). Das Restaurant hat seinen (angemessenen) Preis, die Zimmer sind einfach, dafür auch preisgünstig.

Cons:

Nichts. Dass an der Strasse nachts etwas lärmige Unterhaltsarbeiten durchgeführt wurden, ist nicht im Einfluss des Gasthauses.

Beautiful hotel in Forio
Pros:

Beautiful small, boutique property in a great setting. Very comfortable room with small terrace. Private sun bathing area with easy steps into the sea. Kayak and SUP available. Very good breakfast. Friendly and attentive staff. Hotel is just a few minutes walk into the heart of Forio. On-site restaurant is excellent. It’s more pricey than other options, but absolutely worth at least one visit.

Cons:

Nothing not to like.

Un hotel da gustare a piccoli sorsi!
Pros:

La posizione dell’hotel è fantastica e dormire con il rumore del mare è davvero una cosa unica!
L’arredamento è adeguato in ogni spazio: dai quadri alle pareti, alle piante che arricchiscono le parti comuni, dalle maioliche, ai tavolini del bar per la colazione al mattino. Tutto adeguatamente incastonato in un’oasi di tranquillità nel centro di Forio. Il personale è disponibile e cordiale!
