Semiramis Hotel De Charme

We booked this property because of its proximity to Ischia's Poseidon Spa - but the four (4) pools on the hotel property were so wonderful, we never left! This is a friendly, family run, hotel with exceptional service in a great location. The decor and tiled floors in the rooms are colorful artsy local decor and the breakfast buffet is terrific. We expect to return to the hotel often and are giving 4 stars instead of 5 because the bed was as hard as concrete making it impossible to get comfortable. So, while our daytime experience was fantastic, the nights were a little rough!

I spent days even weeks trying to book a hotel on Ischia. At the last minute I changed hotels and booked Hotel Semiramis because I wanted to be near Forio because of recommendations that this was the side of the island we should be and because I wasn't going to make my mother walk too far! I was right to trust my instincts. This charming, family run hotel, 5 minutes from the beautiful, clear, sandy beach as well as the extraordinary Poseidon had everything we could possibly want including the large volcanic heated swimming pool that you could dip into before breakfast, which incidentally was one of the best hotel breakfasts I have had, beauty treatments and massages at a very reasonable price, and outside space in an exotic garden created by architect, artist and owner of the Semiramis to play a game in the evenings with a glass of beautiful Ischian wine from the bar before walking 2 minutes down to the beach again to eat in one of six or seven incredible and not too expensive restaurants popular with Italians and foreigners alike. So great was this hotel and so enchanted by Ischia we have become that we have sworn to return next year.

With it's own thermal pool and only 5 minutes from Poseidon thermal gardens and beach, lovely small family run hotel, nice restaurants nearby and in Forio town

I have been staying there for over 20 years and I love it. The family run hotel is wonderful. Breakfast is great. They make ufeel right at home. Lication is fantastic
