Hotel Grazia Alla Scannella

"Arrived mid afternoon to a warm welcome. Full instructions and help offered. Room 110, small and no real view, but absolutely fine for our needs. Hotel very clean, exceptional staff. We selected breakfast only, which comprised of pastries, cereals and hot options. Didn't eat evening meals, as menu didn't start until 20.00hrs, which is too late for us, but other guest reports were very positive. Shuttle bus into Forio is regular, but has a gap on returns from town between 19.30 and 23.30, making a early evening return after eating awkward. Spa and spa gardens very relaxing. Pool area clean and quiet, with no piped music (joy!). Open, all day bus ticket available at reception (5.50euro), catch the shuttle into Forio and explore the island. Early pick up (6am) for return home, breakfast was available. Booked through TUI, no issues with organisation. This hotel, staff and feel are worth a trip."

"What an experience this hotel is. I can honestly say I’ve had the most amazing time here and it’s gone far too quick. The staff are amazing, kind, welcoming and generous. I have never been treated like I have at this hotel. I’m leaving feeling like a celebrity following the treatment I have received here. A very luxurious hotel. The food is excellent quality with generous portions. The restaurant staff really are the heart of it all. I enjoyed every single meal and the service from each of the staff. But a special shout out to Stani. The personal service he provided was next level. I am a female solo traveller and he really looked after me and made my trip special. Giuseppe came to my table on my final evening to say goodbye as I was leaving early next morning and offered me breakfast, although I was leaving 2.5 hours before usual breakfast time. I can say with 100% certainty that I will be back to this hotel. The rooms are tidied daily including the bed being made and there is also a turndown service whilst you eat your evening meal. The views from the rooms are absolutely phenomenal. I highly suggest a sea front room, the way the sun shines off the sea is stunning. 10/10 experience. Thank you Hotel Grazia Alla Scanella for a life changing stay."

"so....I'm not sure where the 5* reviews come from. The hotel is 'pleasant' and we will remember it as a lovely holiday in Ischia. However, its not 5* as per previous reviews. Our room was not what we paid for, we were too polite to complain about this on our 1st night however this seemed to be in our favour as our room was quiet, all other guests whilst we were there complained of noise, so we stayed put in the room that was basic at best and not the standard or class that we had paid for. Other reviews also mention the small showers, and they really are small, I'm a UK size 8 and it felt small. The good points, the food is some of best we have eaten, the views by the pool are stunning and the hotel rooms are clean. And that's all there is for the positives. Everything else is average and we don't go on holiday for average. We never pick a hotel for entertainment as its not our thing....however....if you want evening entertainment then a night out at a old peoples residential home would be on par....we were just missing some bingo. We left with fond memories of Ischia but unfortunately not of the hotel. I would give this 3* at best....sorry!"
