Hotel Villa Durrueli Resort & Spa

We loved Villa Durrueli - it feels calm, spotlessly clean, with very friendly and helpful staff. The swimming pool is wonderful. Our only quibble is with the claim that it has a very nearby 'private beach'. Bagna Medusa is quite a hike from the hotel, is hardly more than a crowded platform, and charges a 'reduced' rate of eight euros per person. Very disappointing indeed. If the beach had not been included in the hotel features, we'd have been quite happy with all the good things it offers.

Hotel location and facilities are good, but badly let down by quality of rooms, they are clean but very hard beds and noisy air con. We were also a family of four who booked a quadruple comfort room, it was tiny we were lined up literally side by side. We stayed all overall Italy in cheaper hotels and this was by far the worst family room.

Hotel was small and friendly. There were always Sun beds. Lots of choice for breakfast and other guests said dinner excellent. The rooms however were very small with not much wardrobe space. The location whilst quiet was just a short walk from both the castle end of the island and the port. We can wait to return.

We started to relax the moment we got inside the hotel as the reception staff made you feel very welcome and were fantastic at explaining what the hotel offers. We were shown to our room, and then given a quick tour of the facilities. This was great as you knew straight away how to get to the resturant, pool, well being area etc.. The whole week we were there was a delight, as the room was kept spotlessly clean, the food was terrific and the staff were brilliant. We had one of the treatments that is offered in the hotel and we had a hot stone massage, which was carried out really well and had us well and truely relaxed for the rest of the day. The views from the roof garden when enjoying the evening appetiserd is superb, over looking the sea and the Castle Arogonese.

Stayed with my sister for a few days in late June. Hotel is mostly filled with couples aged 60-80 from Britain. A very laid back, slow environment. They try really hard to accommodate you. Sleepy hotel, "spa" isn't great, a distance from the beach. They don't provide free beach/spa/pool towels. Drinks are really pricey (between 6-12 euros a piece) and they don't tell you how much they cost before you sign for them.

Amazing - really we had a wonderful stay - the entire staff was very kind, accommodating, helpful, cheerful and simply nice! This is not a hotel catering to children but we were very pleased. As we were coming as a family, we read some random review that the pool was loud and I was concerned- it perhaps a one off case the entire experience was calm, we had a wonderful balcony, the rooms was cleaned and fresh when we returned. The dining experience breakfast and dinners was excellent, friendly reception and bar staff. Overall, this is one of the best holidays we have had much in part to the hotel staff and their professionalism. A big thanks, Brian

My wife and I recently stayed for 3 nights at Villa Durrurli. If you are paying around $100 a night this hotel is fine. The expectation that it is a resort and spa should be dismissed immediately. They have a pool but do not provide towels unless you pay per towel per day. The hotel is also poorly managed with the staff doing what they can to help but overall the individual staff members who are polite do not make up for the hotel flaws. The hotel is also dirty with mold growing all over the bathroom.

We had a very pleasant stay. The rooms and shower are a bit small but, everything else was great! The hotel was very clean, the front desk and help were very friendly and helpful. Unfortunately the outdoor swimming pool is not heated (some hotels/spas have heated pools) but, the indoor pool and steam room was nice. This hotel is centrally located between two towns and next to a park that was refreshing to walk through and was a short cut to one downtown shopping area. The breakfast area was very nice with many fruits, breads, and juice/coffee/teas. We enjoyed our stay!

The best thing of the hotel is the staff ready to help anytime, any question you have. Having the terms and spa facilities helpful on the site also. We went out of season so Ischia was not at its best!

Very nice staff, good facilities and overall good value.
