HOTEL: It is a typical '70 sea side style hotel with a lot of terraces and windows. There is also an external swimming pool (closed by the time we were there, in winter). Being winter, so much exposure to the external caused us to feel always a little cold, both in the common areas and in our room.

ROOM: Our room was a non smoking double room. The room was very clean. The furniture is quite basic, Ikea style. We had a nice terrace with a table and two chairs. There is an electric heavy metal blind: safe but noisy.

BATHROOM: it is a bit small but clean and have anything you need. Standard free toiletry.

RECEPTION: check in and check out is very efficient. Staff is polite and professional.

FACILITIES: the hot thermal pool is very clean and quite large. There is also a thermal fountain. Plenty of space all around to seat and relax. The steam bath is also outstanding. There is only one changing room but you can use the showers or the toilets.

RESTAURANT: the evening 4 courses menu was always very varied and very well cooked.

LOCATION: situated on the hill it can be entered from the sea level by a long stair or from the uphill village. Bus stops at both entrances. Very quite and surrounded by the park.

HOW TO REACH THE HOTEL:
from Ischia Porto: take the bus 1 or CS to Casamicciola main square. Walk 5 minutes uphill.
From Casamicciola Port (reachable from Naples Molo Beverello): cross the street and walk 5 minutes uphill.

FINAL IMPRESSION: From a 4 stars rated hotel I was expecting more from the rooms and the ambience but I am absolutely satisfied by the facilities and services.
