We stayed at La Scogliera for 6 nights as a kind of "beach vacation" after visiting busy Italian cities. The hotel is directly across the street from the ocean, and there are many little restaurants along the street within 5 minutes walking that you can get great pizza, seafood and pasta at, all while watching the sun set. (We picked this hotel because we didn't want to rent a car and that worked out perfectly.) We enjoyed the beautiful, comfortable lobby and garden where we relaxed and checked our email and also had nightly apertifs as the sun went down. Our room was very nice, we got upgraded to a room with a great view of the sea and mountains, as well as a more comfortable bed than our first room. I would definitely recommend to get our room, 106, or 109 next to us. For the price, the view rooms here are a good deal--perfect ocean view. The hotel has a floating platform with sunbeds you can use for free, but we preferred to go down the street to one of the two beach concessions and pay 20 euro a day for an umbrella and two sunbeds on the sand. (Recommend Chalet Nonna Carmela, also delicious lunch here.) The hotel service was very good, everyone was very kind and polite. We only used the pool once, it is okay and in a lovely setting with the mountains in the background, but the pool area could use some updating. The breakfast is fine, but there are a huge number of sweet selections and not quite enough fruit or savory selections. We didn't eat at the hotel any other time. The hotel is about a 20 minute walk from the unmissable La Mortella botanic garden and about a 10 minute cab from Poseidon Garden, both of which we recommend. The walk to Forio is about 15 minutes, but we only went once because the ***** of beach between La Scogliera and the town is so chill and nice, with plenty of food options. Would definitely stay here again.
