Hotel Ideal

The hotel is surrounded by greenery and tranquility of Forio. In front of Cava beach (reachable via 60 steps) and one bus stop from the beautiful Citara beach (stop right outside the hotel). It has a fairly large swimming pool which can unfortunately be accessed without a swimming cap. The internal structure is dated, as is the restaurant room on the lower floor. The furnishings in the rooms are also well kept but rather old. Unfortunately, the windows and balconies are not equipped with mosquito nets, which are essential in a place surrounded by greenery. The hotel offers a shuttle service on request and not at set times to the beaches of Citara and Chiaia until 8pm. It would have been perfect if it was also active in the evening given that the hotel is not in the center of Forio. Unfortunately, the seafront, to reach the center in the evening, appears to be isolated and the route is rather long to do with children. Certainly the added value of this hotel is the cuisine. Excellent quality products prepared excellently by chef Peppe who makes even a simple dish of penne with tomato sauce or a gypsy tasty. It's a shame that we didn't have the pleasure of seeing and meeting him. His first courses are delicious, always al dente pasta, but also the starters, second courses, vegetables, all delicious. His lemon caprese is super. The breakfast was good but perhaps a little repetitive. The maitre is available and always attentive to satisfy our every request, and the waiter Angelo is kind. Thanks for the shuttle service to Diego and Adriano for their kindness and friendliness. We plan to return next year, hoping to find the mosquito nets which are very important, maybe even the shuttle service in the evening, but most of all the cuisine of chef Peppe:)

Hotel with swimming pool surrounded by a large tree-lined garden with many varieties of plants and flowers where it is possible to relax in complete tranquility, we opted for the half board formula being able to appreciate the excellent cuisine of the restaurant, very friendly and helpful staff, ideal place to spend some relaxing days for the whole family, see you next time!

Rating 10 and praise for this family-run establishment managed by Paola and her husband Dario... exceptional people who are always available. Friendly and professional staff, it really feels like being at home. A round of applause to Diego and all the staff without exception

Small family hotel with very nice garden in a quiet area. From breakfast outside on the terrace to dinner, everything is homemade. The vegetables are from their own garden. The house wine is from its own vineyard. The staff was very attentive

We have been on holiday at this hotel for three consecutive years. We now feel at home, and every time we leave we can't wait for next summer to return. Paola and her family, the owners, manage the property excellently. They and all the staff are welcoming and friendly; and at the same time kind and professional. They make you feel like you're on vacation with friends. The garden is large and beautiful; having breakfast on the patio overlooking it calms the soul and gets the day off to a good start. The rooms and pool area are comfortable and clean; you can find everything you need... It's best to go half board and go out after dinner, because it's difficult to find another place where you eat so well on the island: fish, meat and very fresh, quality products, with which Chef Peppe prepares exceptional dishes. This place undoubtedly lives up to the fame and beauty of Ischia.
