Forio Vacation Rentals

"Probably the best hotel experience I have ever had. The staff has a level of service I have never experienced with any other resort or hotel. Just amazing hotel and staff"

"This hotel is in an iconic location on the island. Its design feels like a retreat, and the staff are so kind and authentic. There are a wonderful number of pools of all temperatures, surrounded by wonderful views. Hotel offers some activities, including Yoga and special dinner events which are very enjoyable. The food is also delicious. Highly recommend!"

"We had an overall great experience at this resort. The grounds are beautiful and smell wonderful due to the plants planted around the grounds. The beds were comfortable and the view from our room was amazing. The private beach was a great touch as well! The only downsides were that probably 90% of the people staying here were older retired folk and we got awful mosquito bites. Other than that everything was perfect! The store across the street sells bus tickets too so it makes it very easy to get around the island via public transportation."

"We found this hotel located in a beautiful place, however the property is SO outdated. Our fridge wasn’t working and despite mentioning this to reception it was ignored. The electricity was out for pretty much the whole day, no apology or any notification. The smell of the sewage was horrible in the corridor during this period. The staff were not particularly friendly or informative. The porters were nice and actually offered good advise about the area. The thermal pool was good and the view is stunning. "

"Excellent location! Beautiful views, excellent breakfast . The pools were very relaxing. Love the sound of the water from my balcony. The restaurants were excellent especially the one down the hill. "

"Amerigo and his family were so extremely welcoming to me, and made me feel at home. Amerigo even picked me up when I was lost finding the hotel, and drove me to the ferry when I left. They made me feel very safe and welcome as a solo female traveler. The sea balcony was beautiful, and you can have your breakfast on the water. Walkable to the town centre, with a beach on the way. I will definitely return when I get a chance to come back to Forio. "

"We selected Samiramis as a bit of a splurge to recover from the marathon travel day from San Francisco. The staff were very helpful with arranging the airport transfer and early check in. The property was beautiful, with 4 thermal pools and wonderful views. We had thought we might have a day at Poseidon just down the road, but we enjoyed Samiramis so much, what was the point? We were certain we had made the right choice when we ran into the crowd leaving Poseidon at the end of the day and did not see a single smiling face. We could barely contain our own smiles in the paradise that was Samiramis. Top marks for the staff, the pools, breakfasts, cafe, landscaping, the room, location, nearby dinner options, convenient bus stop. Wish we could have stayed longer."

"I chose this location for its views, balcony and ratings as a romantic location to celebrate a very significant wedding anniversary. The hotel and staff delivered a mixed experience. While spacious enough and clean, the rooms were not necessarily aligned with the room rates. Some aspects were excellent and recently renovated, while others were a little tired. For the rate we paid it was a little disappointing. The rest of the facility had some excellent features and were certainly on-point especially when it comes to the views from the rooms and restaurant terrace area and the breakfast. The pool and spa area was nice enough, however could use a refresh, spa services were barely average. Communication with the hotel was sporadic until we got there. They were slow to respond on WhatsApp / email and ultimately we just figured things out ourselves. Once there, it was fine however. The biggest disappointment for us was the lack of the little extras one might expect at the price point we paid. They asked us if we were celebrating anything when we booked, and I mentioned our major anniversary would be there and in numerous requests for recommendations (which were largely ignored). Despite this, there was absolutely no acknowledgment or personal touch in recognition of our choosing the property to celebrate our anniversary. The hotel is family-run, which could be a great thing but in this case seemed they were strained for resources. Just my impression. But the views! "
