Hotel Paradiso Terme

“Great views!”

The views can’t be beat. You’ve got mountains on one side and the sea on the other. The entire staff makes you feel like you’re the only guests on the property.

The views can’t be beat. You’ve got mountains on one side and the sea on the other. The entire staff makes you feel like you’re the only guests on the property. Pool could be updated, but does the trick! Eat your breakfast and dinners here. View the gorgeous sunset while having a fantastic dinner here. Here for a short while but wish we had more time. Free shuttle that brings you to and from Forio. Take a taxi to S’ant Angelo or La Scanella beach club! Would absolutely stay here again. Can’t wait to come back!

We stayed at this great hotel for a week with our family that includes small children. We have only positive things to report. Firstly the hotel itself is set on beautiful grounds in the hills above Forio with superb views over the Mediterranean and fresh winds blowing (much appreciated). All the facilities are great and the upkeep is meticulous of the beautiful grounds. There is a free, highly functional shuttle service that will take you most places (taxis can be used for the rest), so there is no need to have a car. But the most important thing of all is the staff. Each and everyone was kind and helpful, always ready to assist when needed. It is clear to me that this hotel is under very good management and other hotels could learn a thing or two from them.

This family owned business is lovely. The friendly service and fine food served is of a high standard. The rooms attached to the main entrance where we stayed have balconies. The gardens which are part of the property are lovingly maintained throughout the year even though the property is partly closed to the public during winter (part of the property will be open for business out of the season in the coming months of Autumn/Winter,I believe. Setting and facilities are lovely. The welcome here is genuine and warm from people who are consummate professionals from the Night Manager to the Owners and from the wonderful Gardener to the Maitre D’. Good Experience.

“Good points and some negatives (I cannot really say bad)”

The good points are that the rooms are spacious and clean with good air-conditioning.

The good points are that the rooms are spacious and clean with good air-conditioning. We had a ground floor room with small outside area and we could see a small portion of the sea; (we cannot complain as it was an upgrade from a garden view). Improvements would be the provision of more English TV channels (we only had CNN and Al Jazeera), more convenient electrical sockets and an umbrella for the outside table. The hotel’s good points are that all the gardens are beautiful and the staff are pleasant and professional, especially at the reception. The hot thermal swimming pool is very relaxing, a very unusual and lovely experience; my wife also enjoyed the spa treatments. So, what could the negatives be, it is the location of the hotel. It is difficult to walk anywhere outside of the hotel, it is located 450 metres off the main road between Forio and Saint Angelo, a long way from civilisation. But the 450 metres is mostly uphill and a horrendous drive for a car. If you reached the main road you can catch a local bus but be prepared to stand. The hotel provides a shuttle bus to the nearest town but I don’t know how frequent the shuttle was as we saw a number of guests walking up and down to the drive to and from the local bus. We hired a car so we had the freedom of the island during the day; I could not face driving at night because the island's roads are narrow and dangerous. Therefore, in the evening, we, and the other guests, were captive to the hotel. The evening meals were formal affairs, admittedly, weather permitting, on a nice patio overlooking the pools and enjoying the lovely sunsets but the meal was a little dragged out especially if you did not catch the eye of the waiter and sometimes the restaurant was lacking in organisation and effective communication. There was no background music as we dined, we only had entertainment on the one night so the evenings were boring. My advice if you want a hotel in Ischia book in Ischia Town where you are close to the beaches, the shops and the night life, which, unfortunately are not features of this hotel.
