Hotel la Scogliera

My husband and I arrived late due to missing luggage at the airport as well as a cancelled boat ferry. The night portiere was very welcoming and sympathetic regarding our missing luggage. We had booked a very nice room booked with sea view, although dark when we arrived. The next morning the responsible day portiere was very concerned about the missing luggage and offered to support by calling the the airport. After our first breakfast the portiere asked if we would like to see a different room that they offered us as a free upgrade! :-) Of course we would! The junior sweet with a large tiled balcony/terrace was absolutely wonderful! During our 8 nights stay the staff has been extremely supportive, making calls to push for the missing luggage (which finally arrived after 4 days!), arranging taxi transfers and suggesting places to visit. The hotel has an old world charm, with beautiful tiles and décor. The courtyard is so beautifully done, with large olive trees, hibiscus and cactus. Pool area is equally beautiful, Olive trees and greenery as well as a nice pool and a warm thermal pool which was refilled every morning from the natural hot springs on the island. I'd like to give Hotel La Scogliera and the staff my highest recommendations - would most definitely like to go back! :-)

Great location with easy walk into Forio, and right on the front near good restaurants. Friendly staff, good value. Breakfast perhaps a bit basic, but otherwise faultless. Spectacular sunset views and a lovely courtyard to have drinks in.

A fabulous hotel with an exceptional staff. I could not find anything bad about this property. Everyone from the lovely lady cleaning our room to reception and wait staff were so friendly and helpful. A special thanks to Valentina, Sofia, Gino, Gaetano and the “young” Giovanni, for making our experience so memorable. 👏

We stayed at La Scogliera for 6 nights as a kind of "beach vacation" after visiting busy Italian cities. The hotel is directly across the street from the ocean, and there are many little restaurants along the street within 5 minutes walking that you can get great pizza, seafood and pasta at, all while watching the sun set. (We picked this hotel because we didn't want to rent a car and that worked out perfectly.) We enjoyed the beautiful, comfortable lobby and garden where we relaxed and checked our email and also had nightly apertifs as the sun went down. Our room was very nice, we got upgraded to a room with a great view of the sea and mountains, as well as a more comfortable bed than our first room. I would definitely recommend to get our room, 106, or 109 next to us. For the price, the view rooms here are a good deal--perfect ocean view. The hotel has a floating platform with sunbeds you can use for free, but we preferred to go down the street to one of the two beach concessions and pay 20 euro a day for an umbrella and two sunbeds on the sand. (Recommend Chalet Nonna Carmela, also delicious lunch here.) The hotel service was very good, everyone was very kind and polite. We only used the pool once, it is okay and in a lovely setting with the mountains in the background, but the pool area could use some updating. The breakfast is fine, but there are a huge number of sweet selections and not quite enough fruit or savory selections. We didn't eat at the hotel any other time. The hotel is about a 20 minute walk from the unmissable La Mortella botanic garden and about a 10 minute cab from Poseidon Garden, both of which we recommend. The walk to Forio is about 15 minutes, but we only went once because the ***** of beach between La Scogliera and the town is so chill and nice, with plenty of food options. Would definitely stay here again.
