I just came back from my holiday in Principe terme (1.-8.10.2011) and it was definitelly one of the best holidays in my life (and Id do travelling a lot). This hotel has great location, it is situated about 50 -100 meters (no steep way and uncrossable street as I have raed here) from a beautiful beach with a view on "fungo" (mushroom-shaped rock, typical for Lacco Ameno/province of Ischia), clean and sandy. Just around the corner from the entrance to the hotel is bus stop. Yes, there is some noise from the street, but most of the rooms are heading to the sea or located in the garden which is guite. The room is very nice, with a balcony equipped table and chairs, really great place to relax. Rooms are not very big, but it is not important to me, you are not going to spend your holiday in the room or are you? The service is excellent, especially in the restaurant. You feel like in a 5 star hotel, at least. The manager controls everything, the staff makes your dreams come true sooner than you say them. Breakfast is typical italian, fresh, delicious croissants, coffee ot tea, juices, also bread (even dark one), honey, butter, chocolate, marmelade, milk, cornflakes, yogurt, fruit etc., you can get salami, ham and cheese, just say it once to the waitress and he will give it to you automatically every day (do not hesitate to say that, it is pleasute for them to give it to you, just understand that it is not typical to eat salami and cheese for breakfast, that is why it is not on the table). By this hotel you have thermal, clean outdoor swimming pool, one thermal indoor pool, Kneipp spa (great thing-changing of hot a cold water, which is good for your legs with the stones on the bottom as a massage for your feet) and even whirpool/jacuzzi, wonderful!!! Me, personally, really cannot say any bad word about Principe terme. O.K., if you are perfectinonist: rooms could be bigger, receptionist cold speak better english, breakfast offer could include salami automatically, there is some noise from the street (which is everywhere with great location) - this allcould be written by very demanding person. I have been there with my 70 years old granmother which is used to higher level of any kind of services and she was more than satisfied. I WRITE THIS DETAILED RATING BECAUSE I HAVE READ RATINGS MENTIONED HERE BEFORE I CHOSE THIS HOTEL AND I WAS ON DOUBT AFTER READING IT, IF I WOULD KNOW HOW UNTRUE SOME INFORMATIONS ARE I COULD DECIDE MYSELF FASTER AND COULD NOT BE AFRAID! Thank you Principe :-)
