The hotel, beautifully situated with spectacular views, has the best service of the many hotels we have experienced, beginning with the shuttle service that picked us up from the ferry, took us down into Forio for dinner and back, and brought our baggage down on our last day after we decided to walk down for a final lunch at the wonderful Forio restaurant; Core a Core, recommended by hotel boss, Francesco, before catching the ferry home. All part of the service. Breakfast offered more than usual in Italian hotels, again served very attentively. The hotel has no restaurant but does offer basic lunch. The good wine list inspired us to visit the local D'Ambra winery, a lovely walk with spectacular views with vineyards on both sides of the narrow road. (A certain will to adventure is needed to walk the roads on the hill!) The pool landscape has plenty of space for all guests. Two restaurants for dinner are nearby. one with top quality food (Montecorvo) and one with basic food but fabulous sunset views(Bella Vista) - but we had the sunset from our balcony too. Claudia is a good masseuse with a wide repertoire of health and beauty treatments. Excursions to the La Mortella Gardens and the Castello Aragonese were easy with a walk down the hill to the frequent busses. (We could have also taken the shuttle down the hill...). Our room and balcony on the 2nd floor were comfortable. Most highly recommended. We shall return!
