Hotel Villa Durrueli Resort & Spa

I'd recommend the hotel to a friend. It's not to big and it's close to the town of Ischia

The hotel and staff were very very good. However there are i or 2 changes that could make it even better. The bathroom in the standard room was very small and there was no where to place toiletries etc. Also immediately the 1st October came there was no eating breakfast on the terrace. My opinion on this that most tourists go abroad for the weather especially coming from the UK.

Really clean hotel, with a modern design, close to the main port and shopping areas. The staff were friendly and helpful. The free spa area was a nice touch too.

The hotel was in a great location, very close to the the old town and the harbour so easy to walk around and see sights and evening wanders etc. The room was awful, the bed was the hardest bed I'd ever slept on (think of an ironing board) and the room was disgusting. It hadn't even been cleaned eg: the shower had grime on the walls and dead bugs in the corners, I felt like I needed to wear shoes to shower. It's a shame as the hotel had potential and the staff are friendly enough. I wouldn't recommend it for the price at all.

Really friendly and helpful staff. Pretty pool with plenty of loungers and spa facilities. Good location and views. As long as you don't mind the slightly laborious trek from Naples airport I would guess you couldn't find a nicer spot in Italy to spend a few days relaxing.

The whole experience with Villa Durrueli, was good, from making the reservation to the arrival, to the say and departure. The hotel is crisp, clean and modern. I think it was recently renovated and updated. The grounds are well kept and it seems that the whole hotel is scrubbed clean everyday. The rooms are small, but who spends a lot of time in the room when you are in Italy. We were a family of four, two adults and two teens, and we had to book two rooms, which was less expensive than booking the family style room. While the facilities are good, it was the staff that made the whole stay worthwhile. They are lovely and a pleasure to deal with; always happy to help and for a conversation. The full breakfast, which was included, was great. I am willing to say it is probably the best breakfast I have had in a hotel in the past ten years. We never ate in the restaurant for dinner, but our friends who did said it was very good and they choose to eat there a few times. After the first day the wait staff remembered our coffee order (dopio machiatto) and brought them to the table when we sat down. That was a very nice touch and made us feel special. Nice pool, clean and clear and really important when its 30C and sunny everyday. The pool side bar served good food and nice drinks.

Nice pool and spar areas but rooms too small and beds very uncomfortable. Top floor rooms badly affected by having concrete roof deck and bar above premium guest rooms resulting chair scraping and banging late into the early hours of morning to say nothing of the full on loud music making conversation or sleep impossible; followed up by early arrival of loud Vespa's in the morning and clanging of church bells just outside.

The hotel is a very nice building. Not too far from Ischia Porto (the main harbor) and close to Ischia Ponte (where the Aragonesi Castle is located), a cosy town with some very nice restaurants. The Spa area of the hotel (a small swimming pool with warm water, steam room and kneipp path) and the outdoor swimming pool are great. You can have a decent continental breakfast in the terrace. The only one problem is that some rooms (the cheapest ones) are very noisy and you can hear everything happening in the rooms around. However the relationship between price and quality is pretty high, but only during the week. During weekends the prices are pretty high and it's not worth it.

Great hotel/staff are friendly and eager to help with any requests. Dinner there is rather expensive...35 pounds per person but does include all courses.

We had a five night stay- excellent location 15 mins from the port and a stroll from the town; superb staff, absolutely no complaints!
