Hotel Lord Byron

Hotel Lord Byron is a four-star hotel set amid greenery in the heart of Forio, the largest municipality on the island of Ischia. The old town and harbour are a short stroll away, the bus stop serving the rest of the island is right outside the entrance, and Chiaia and Citara beaches are just a few minutes from the door. Monte Epomeo and Monte Corvo rise behind the hotel, while La Mortella Gardens and the Poseidon thermal park are within easy reach.

Inspired by the elegant villas of the Grand Tour era, the complex is made up of three buildings spread across Mediterranean gardens, flower-filled terraces and sun decks. The 40 rooms, in five categories, are bright and decorated in sea-inspired colours, with air conditioning, minibar, satellite TV and free Wi-Fi; some have a balcony or small terrace.

Guests can unwind at the outdoor pool with its poolside bar and in the wellness area, which features an indoor pool kept at 36 °C, a hot tub, a Turkish bath, massages and beauty treatments. The restaurant serves local cuisine with vegetarian and gluten-free options, themed dinners and a traditional Ischian evening. Private parking on reservation, transfers, car, scooter and dinghy rental and island excursions round off the services. Small pets are welcome.
