Hotel Terme Villa Teresa S.R.L. — Hotel in Forio

A friendly, charming and elegant hotel. ||||My second stay at Villa Teresa in April was equally as enjoyable as my first visit in October 2015, and will not be my last visit.||||The thermal pools are pristine and immaculately maintained, and the bar area a welcoming meeting place at any time of day - whether you feel like an espresso after shopping, or a beer after a hike to the hills or a stroll into Forio Porto. You can choose from a delicious al fresco lunch, or coffee and cake or gelato at the pool bar and have cocktails any time the bar is open, while catching up with friends, making new friends, or just using wifi or watching sport on TV. It's a great meeting place to enjoy drinks, dancing or listening to live music.||||The spa treatments at Villa Teresa are relaxing and revitalising and you'll enjoy every minute!||||A few words about the staff: ||Thanks to Thomas, Manuel, and Giuseppe at the bar, for the caffe and excellent cocktails.||Maitre Michele and all the other dining room staff, especially Luca, all work extremely well and hard to provide professional and friendly service with a smile to all guests. ||Thanks to Concetta and Anna for freshening my room every day, and to Patrizia and Maria at reception who always have welcoming smiles.||||The meals are fabulous and the antipasti & salad buffet provide an enormous selection of the freshest local ingredients to create tasty dishes even before the imaginative pasta first courses, which are then followed by coniglio, fish or other second course selections. If you still have space for dolci you will not be disappointed. ||||So, thank you to the Chef and his staff whose creations in the kitchen deserve acknowledgement. In addition I requested a breakfast bag for an early start one morning - the breakfast bag was so full that it fed me for the whole day in Napoli - outstanding, especially those delicious croissants still warm from the kitchen! Grazie and bravo!||||Nicola was always available whenever I needed information or advice we were grateful that he organised hotel airport transfers that went without a hitch. Thanks are not always enough, but for now mille grazie.||||A stay at Parco Hotel Terme Villa Teresa is not like any other hotel stay - you will feel like a special guest in a large, friendly, elegant sprawling seaside holiday home where the lush gardens and spacious rooms and terraces offer gloroious views - whether to sea or mountain always unforgettable and you will not want to leave.||||A...

The island is purely for Italian locals taking a holiday. We felt very uncomfortable and was made to feel very unwelcome. There is practically nothing on the island and I would only recommend visiting for a day trip. (Only if you really wanted to see the island) which at sight is beautiful. ||Originally we was booked for 5 nights but because of the atmosphere we checked out after one night and headed back to mainland Italy and booked a hotel in Naples. |The locals within the hotel would look at you up and down and would make you feel like you shouldn't be there, as the only English couple in the hotel it was very intimidating. ||The hotels food was a set menu only catering for itialians only. We would sit at the bar and wait at least 5/10 minutes before anyone would acknowledge us and then serve us. ||The rooms are very small and very dated along with all the amenities. The shower was not really a shower was just a cracked tiled floor with cold running water. The room was made even smaller with a big pillar stuck in the middle of it. The balcony if you can call it that would probably fit one chair on it And the other rooms balconies was all adjoining giving no privacy. ||It was very hard to find a bed round the pool and when we did we only got stared at by the locals. You was only allowed in the pool with a shower cap on too. ||The restaurant too is small and was not a buffet style, was a set menu. |The night we went the menu was for starters melon and Parma ham which was ok to be honest and main was rabbits liver and some kind of pasta. We ended up walking out and tried to find a shop on the island which took 20 minutes walking on roads as there was no paths (and there crazy drivers) when ended up with a tube of Pringles and a packet of Philadelphia cheese. ||It was a awful experience for our first time in Italy. Would definitely not recommend it for English tourists. ||Must add the staff did help us get a taxi to the port to get off the island and was quite helpful but only a small number of staff spoke a little English. ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||Really bad experience for visiting Italy for the first...

A nice, simple hotel with different types of rooms. I stayed here a week with my partner. I would have scored it higher but it has a few issues. Firstly, the good points. ||Lovely heated pool and bar area||Nice, spacious rooms (I stayed in garden/terrace area down the bottom||massive restaurant||good wi-fi||lift for rooms in main block||pool table||maids change the rooms regularly||tours and bus tickets available at reception||very good food and the restaurant staff work hard within the short hours of breakfast,lunch and dinner.||car hire options||Good location and the beach is closeby along with a few shops if you need anything.||||Now the downsides...||||Some of the staff were quite rude to us. I was asked my room number by a fiery member of staff who was obviously ticked off beforehand. He walked off when I refused to comply due to his attitude. On the other hand, some staff were very good to us, especially the restaurant manager guy.||||The room had a TV and fridge, yet the hair dryer didn't work and there was no kettle, which would be a big difference in the mornings.||||To swim you need to buy a stupid $2 swim hat??! which even people who wear it let their hair poke through it anyway. (I'm almost hairless but still had to wear one)||||We were probably the only English guests at the time and we felt stared at. A lot of guests were elderly and miserable, although that's no fault of the hotel.||||Not that my Italian is any good but English speakers are minimal here.||||One monring I think someone was getting a wake up call a couple of rooms down and I found that one of the site guys was shouting down from the balcony to wake him? I thought something was wrong so went to look, then I find the angry little man in a cap asking me where he is in Italian?!||||Not the best place i've ever stayed in but certainly not the worst. I'd reccomend it for quiet lives but for party/nightlife it won't suit you. The DJ set was embarrassing. However, the bar food and drinks are well priced...
