I was shocked to read the review of "Stinachio" dated 6th July 2010. My wife and myself spent almost two weeks at this hotel only a short time before "Stinachio". Our first visit, our friend's third. The only thing we recognise in their comments is that the mother spoke no English. Big deal - we were in Ischia not Bognor!... More

A peaceful hotel in tropical gardens, excellent air con. It is close to the free beach, spa and town. But use the buses, and take the boat trip round the island. My highlights were the mature tropical gardens surrounding the villa and the pool, it uses water from the thermal spring. Ask the proprieter about the restaurant at the top... More

I highly recommend this hotel. The room we stayed in was beautiful and had a view of the Mediterranean from the balcony. It also had a view of the pool which is another huge plus about the hotel. The property is gorgeous and well taken care of. It is located a short walk from the beach and the bus stops... More

Come for the pool, if you must, but don't stay for the dysfunctional family drama that plagues this inhospitable villa owned by the precious heir and son of a nightmare of an Italian mama. He has never grown up and doesn't know the first thing about running a business; she is his overbearing mother who reigns terrifyingly over the place,... More

Villa Melodie is an endearing family run hotel set in a leafy residential neighborhood outside the town of Forio. Buses stopping a few steps from the entrance to the hotel take you virtually anyplace on the island; the ride to Forio center takes about 10 minutes. You can buy your tickets from the driver if necessary. Villa Melodie is a... More

Booked this hotel to relax for 3 nights after a hectic 'touring around Italy' schedule with my young daughter and relax we did. This is THE best ever hotel I have ever stayed in!! The rooms were large and very pleasant to stay in, from the floor to the ceiling - a lot of thought has gone into this hotel... More

My daughter and I backpacked through southern Italy and spent two nights at the Hotel Villa Melodie on the Island of Ischia. It was most relaxing because the family that runs the villa were very attentive and very busy making sure guests have what they need. The rooms and the views were beautiful. There is a very relaxing, large swimming... More

I can’t say enough about the fabulous service we received at Hotel Villa Melodie when we stayed there this month! From the moment we arrived, we felt pampered. Gianni and his sister Gisa were always available for help, and made great recommendations for where to travel, and even arranged scooter rental for us. Although some of the tour books recommend...

We stayed at Villa Melodie in 2004 & 2005 having picked it at random from the Ischia web site. What a stroke of luck! We were given a very warm welcome both times by Giovanni and family who all take a great pride in their hotel. The food is simple Italian - all freshly cooked, delicious and served with pride.... More
