“Gorgeous location, amazing staff, beautiful lighthouse - I can’t recommend it enough!”
+I can’t say enough good things about this place! It’s so charming - a real lighthouse in gorgeous location with stunning views! The rooms are spotless, spacious, and comfortable. The staff were so friendly and helpful! We especially appreciated Luigi’s assistance in the days leading up to our visit, answering all questions and arranging a rental car for us. The onsite restaurant is great and the included breakfast was fantastic. There are only 4 guest rooms, so the place feels very private and exclusive. Honestly, my only regret was that we scheduled a dinner at another restaurant one night and did some hiking - if I go again, I wouldn’t ever leave the property!
−Not something to dislike, but just to be aware of - there really are a lot of steps to and from the lighthouse, so you do need to be reasonably fit.

“Unique experience”
+The location is spectacular, peaceful and the hotel, which is a working lighthouse, is unique. The rooms are lovely.The staff is keen to please. Look out for Franco the resident seagull.
−Read the instructions you will be sent before you arrive (unlike us!). You can easily get a taxi from Forio ferry port to the hotel (or the other ports on the island, but they are further away) but there are 160 steps to get down to the hotel from where the road gives out. There is a luggage lift, so be sure to telephone reception in advance to get someone to meet you and operate this for you. The buses around the island are cheap and frequent, but the walk to the bus stop is 2.2 km. We liked the challenge, but you need either to be reasonably fit or hire a car/scooter/electric bike. The Forio bar half way is a good watering hole.

“Exceptional”
+Stunning location! An exceptional hotel. The room was serene, thoughtful, beautiful and comfortable. The breakfast spread was phenomenal. Fabio and Antonio were attentive, professional, amiable, and masters of their trade. March was perfectly quiet being the off season, a dream. Can’t wait to return!

“Incredibly unique and equally fantastic experience, unlike any other!”
+The staff were incredibly attentive and personable. The kitchen produced fantastic meals and the setting is absolutley amazing. Some incredible sunsets to be seen here!
−Access is a little tricky. I'd caution against booking if you struggle with hill climbs. The nearest bus stop is 20-25min walk up and then down a very large hill. If you have heavy luggage it's tricky. A pre-booked taxi is the safest bet. I can't fault the hotel itself - it is a lighthouse afterall, it's always going to be on a cliffside!
