Hotel Angelino — Hotel in Barano d'Ischia

The pictures and description of this hotel are fake. There is no beach. You have to walk over a mile from where the bus stops across rocks and a storm ocean that splashes against the wall and soaks your clothing. The sea does up to your stomach and soaks you. It's a horrendous experience and you risk losing your purse and valuables in the enormous waves that lash you in what seems like a military assault course tp reach this hotel. ||||Booking.com Hotels.com and all agencies are lying when they show pictures of a beach. There is NO beach it has been eroded by years of the sea getting closer. In fast a hotel or residence nearby collapsed a few years ago killing all the family. ||||We were scared this hotel would collapse during the week of stormy weather when every night the waves thumped against the walls of the hotel.||||We felt trapped during our week. If you want to visit the town/port area of Ischia you have to either brave the waves and rocks or climb up a mountain and follow a precarious pathway longer route to get to the piazza and bus.||||When we arrived we did not know where to go. We called the hotel and after 30 minute the owner Johnny showed up. It was a o long walk as the hotel is at the far end of the beach and by the way there is no beach it has long since been eroded as the sea encroaches closer every year. ||||The food is bland mostly pasta. The owner's wife is a good cook however and makes delicious cakes. ||||There is an excellent restaurant behind this hotel a short walk up the mountain behind. ||||The cleaners are very aggressive and barge in to your room each morning. They sweep the dirty off your balcony into the sea. We also saw Johnny the owner do this in the balcony of the bar. Every day he sweeps the day's debri cigarette butts peanut shells sand all is swept off the balcony and into the sea.We were horrified.||||Apparently the local municipality does not collect garbage from Moronti area so they have to bag it and take it to a town 5 miles away hence we saw a lot of small boats laden with sacks of rubbish head out to the sea. Locals need education. They have no regards for the environment.||||We would not return to this 70's style hotel that has not been modernised if...

We arrived on the island and got a cab to the hotel, the taxi driver rang the hotel to advise guests would be arriving ( as the hotel we found out a short while later was about a km walk from the drop off area and they would help us with our luggage). After waiting for half hour for someone to appear we asked about to be told to leave our luggage and walk down the beach until we reach the hotel. |We arrived at the hotel after the walk and check in was friendly however our rooms were not ready we were told to wait while they were prepared ( this was 1pm ish check in was supposedly from 11am). |After waiting an hour we decided to eat - the food came about an hour after ordering (food was lovely) after about another 45 minutes our room was ready. ||Rooms were clean but basic and views were outstanding - that’s the good bit! ||We didn’t have a fan in our room and after asking 3 times we finally got given an old rusty fan that was so noisy. One of our party has a respiratory problem and the write up on the booking site said ‘short walk’ which we thought may be a few hundred metres - it’s actually a km walk along an uneven wooden walkway. We decided to mention this to the owners British wife in the hope she may suggest a solution or agree with us that the hotel write up was a bit misleading .... one of the party explained our dilemma that the one with the health issue was finding the walk too much and we were considering leaving early and how would this work. The lady owner said ‘ well did you not know Ischia is mountainous’ and said we should have reviewed the island before coming. We did review the island and she accused us of being in the wrong. We contacted the booking site who confirmed the description said ‘a short walk was NOT a few hundred metres or a km’ and that we should pay for the two nights we stayed and leave. ||We did just that - on checking out we were treated quite abruptly and not a goodbye or any help offered with our luggage so we had to drag our luggage along the wooden walkway of a km ( one of us having as we stated a health problem) ||All I could say is the Italians are such beautiful people and the island is incredible - if you come DO NOT STAY AT...

You should really find a different hotel. This is very old and outdated. While I suppose that adds to the Italian Charm, it really could use an update. The towels are paper thin and sandpaper like. You can hear everything and everyone on your floor with windows in the bathroom that are open to the hallway. It’s also very isolated, there is nothing around it and no where to really get to anything. You cannot take a cab there. You get dropped off at the beach and must walk down the boardwalk and I mean “Board” walk. It is pallets covered with particle board. The hotel claims they are close to the natural hot springs, they are not.. well maybe if you are an Ironman Triathlete and can scale mountains.. we are not, so that “easy walk” was abandoned after lots of vertical feet were already put in. And don’t bother to walk up the steep driveway to the pool that has been very neglected and is like an ice bath, it’s not worth the visit ||The beach was nice, rocky, but we found some great sea glass and pottery. We ate at a little snack restaurant which was very good and great service. Because it’s slow season and we bought lunch she allowed us to use the lounge chairs for free..our hotel also offered free use of lounge chairs.,||Warning.. the water taxi will take you to San Angelo, but it stops at 5. Even after the hotel said it runs later, just costs more after 7. It does not run at this time of year and our cab was $65 back and a walk down the sketchy boardwalk in the dark. 10/10 do...
