We were delighted by how great a choice this booking proved to be. I was a little concerned at first because of the distance from the beach, but this turned out to be a plus for us, as the hotel is set a bit up the foot of Mount Epomeo, so the view from our balcony offered a sweeping vista of the Forio shoreline and the rooftops of Forio village sloping down toward it. While the hotels closer to the beach are huddled together with little breathing room, this property has near palatial grounds, including a winding drive, gardens, and three separate buildings, all with climbing ivy, tropical plants and flowers, and the pervasive perfume of jasmine everywhere. The atmosphere is absolutely breathtaking. The pool is the best, with dramatic backdrops of the town, palm trees, and Mt. Epomeo looming above. The staff are multilingual, efficient, and friendly. The rooms are spacious, if a bit sparsely appointed (who cares how small the television is when you're in an island paradise?). Decor is tasteful, bright, and charming, albeit showing slight signs of age here and there. The lobby is absolutely gorgeous and inviting, plenty of low rattan couches, tile floors. We didn't see the indoor pool or thermal spas, but the unending line of visitors suggests that they are excellent. Breakfast was perhaps the only thing that belied that this is a 3-star hotel. Two selections of cold cuts, boiled eggs, cheese, yogurt, bread. I wasn't too impressed, but my wife really enjoyed the warm croissants, preferring them to what was on offer in local pastry shops. You will have to walk through the tiny cobbled streets of the quaint town of Forio to reach the beaches. But that's actually part of the charm. If you don't stop to oggle or sample the ample gelaterias, pizzerias, cafes, bakeries, and small shops along the way down it will take you 15 minutes to reach. But we never managed to avoid these distractions. Wifi was impossible to pick up in our building, but no problem in the main building, where many of the rooms are. And really, you won't miss it. Really recommended as a romantic destination!

This hotel is located in a beautiful backstreet. There is a little pool ouside and inside another one, both provided with thermal water. From the terraces you have a wonderful sight to the sea and the mountains. It's very quiet, with a little church down the street from which you can sometimes hear the prayers and laughter. The rooms are clean and there is daily housekeeping service. We had a room in a next-door building, which we liked a lot. The staff is very friendly and helpful, day and night, maybe because the hotel is run by a family. We had a room with half board. There is a rather scarce breakfast. In the evening you get to choose between three starters and three main courses. The pasta is always great, but some food was a bit too greasy. It's a 15 minute walk to the city and 20 minutes to the beach of Forio. We had a wonderful stay at the Castaldi Terme and would come back anytime!

Charmantes Hotel am Fuße eines Berges mit herrlichem Blick vom Pool. Das Wetter war toll, also genoss ich das Beste, was Ischia zu bieten hat, und war nicht lange im Hotel, um zu schlafen. Bitte beachten Sie, dass dies ein bei älteren Italienern und Deutschen beliebtes Hotel ist. Es hat eine sehr entspannte und respektvolle Atmosphäre. Wenn Sie auf wilde Partys stehen, ist dies wahrscheinlich nichts für Sie. Es gab eine Sprachbarriere, da ich Brite bin, aber das Hotelpersonal bemühte sich, diese zu umgehen, genauso wie ich und alles in allem waren sie sehr hilfsbereit. Der Pool war fabelhaft, die Temperatur war super, der Poolbereich war sauber und es gab Platz zum Entspannen auf den Sonnenliegen. Schöne, entspannende Gärten zum Lesen und Genießen des Wetters. Das Frühstück bestand aus feinem Toast, Schinken, Croissants und Orangensaft. Das Abendessen war gut, auch zwei Teller, eine Pasta, ein Fleisch, Wüste und Wein und Wasser enthalten. Die Kellner waren hilfsbereit, freundlich und prompt, da sie jeden Abend einen vollen Speisesaal hatten. Mein Zimmer war in Ordnung, Einzelzimmer geräumig mit einem anständigen Bad, die Klimaanlage funktionierte nicht wirklich. Das Zimmer wurde täglich gereinigt und das Hotel war im Allgemeinen sauber. Für den Preis, den ich gezahlt habe, kann ich mich nicht wirklich über das beschweren, was enthalten war und war nur zehn Minuten zu Fuß vom Zentrum von Forio entfernt. Wenn Sie eine abgeschiedene Pause mit nicht viel zu viel Mühe möchten, dann ist dieses Hotel eine gute Wahl.
