Hotels near sea shore in Italy

One major downside is that the beach bar is not included in the all-inclusive package, so you have to pay for drinks there

Another issue is the shuttle train to the beach, which runs only every 30 minutes – the long wait is inconvenient

The beach is really nice, fine sand, plenty of sunbeds with umbrellas, ideal entrance to the sea, no stones. A big plus is the possibility to rent a paddleboard or kayak for free

Nice pool and thermal baths! Get the ground floor rooms facing the exterior garden, they’re so peaceful and recently renovated

My wife doesn't eat fish or seafood and mainly eats chicken, which was about twice during the entire stay. There were days when she only ate potatoes and grilled peppers for lunch

However, there is also a big minus, which is that it is not possible to use the all-inclusive at the beach bar - so you have to pay for drinks on the beach

We loved our stay at Hotel Bellevue. The room was small but lovely, extremely clean, and very comfortable. Our room opened right onto the pool area, which was peaceful, beautiful, and quiet at night for sleeping

Friendly and guest focused staff Pool area is small and quiet with views of Vesuvius in distance. About 20 mins walk up a hill from main port area but a frequent hotel shuttle and local buses can ferry you around

We asked to speak to the manager and he wouldn’t come out of his office. We had to let it go as not to ruin our vacation. The indoor and outdoor pools were lovely but upon closer inspection were not super clean

This Hotel Exceptional service, friendly staff, exceptionally clean rooms and facilities, convenient location. Max

If I’m ever lucky enough to return to Ischia, I would stay here again without hesitation

The hotel is close to the port with lots of wonderful restaurants and the hotel run a bus shuttle service that runs often, although I loved the 20 minute walk through the beautiful streets of Ischia

Worth upgrading - even paying additional for a premium room or an entry level suite category overlooking the sea. Outdoor pool is pleasant and a favourite of guests. Good service standards - slightly "old style" formal

We had an absolutely incredible stay at Grand Hotel Quisisana—truly one of the best hotel experiences we’ve had. We were celebrating a birthday and anniversary, and the team went above and beyond to make it unforgettable

My preferred place to stay when in Capri. Love the design and the centrality. Drinks in the evening are great too. Gym is pretty nice and the poolside is great and well serviced.

Every detail felt intentional and genuinely kind. The hotel itself is stunning—perfectly located, beautifully maintained, and full of classic Capri charm. The spa was excellent and a great way to relax during our stay

Service across the board was exceptional—warm, attentive, and seamless

Honestly I would come back just to stay in the room. We were impressed with every aspect except the pool which was sublet and they were not very nice. The service, concierge and everything else was perfect

Paradise The staff is amazing. Very professional and detail oriented. The resort is top notch with beautiful pools and a private beach. The food was fantastic. Will definitely be back

Beautiful clean facilities, with three pools and access to the beach Excellent breakfast options. Rooms were clean. Two restaurant options. It's an oasis in Puglia.

We never struggled for a sunbed and you are placed in the rows according to your level of room/ suite. We loved our suite, very high specification, looked like it’s been recently refurbished

Unfortunately the beach club does not offer any service at the beach and some basic water facilities would be useful instead of having to walk back to the beach restaurant and pay for premium water

Although this hotel is lovely, very clean, with stunning pools and a nice restaurant, I cannot recommend it for families. The lifeguards were extremely rude to the children and seemed to dislike any noise at all

The bottom pool became unusable due to the area near the pool being used as breakout sessions with flip charts. My wife and I work in the corporate environment, and a holiday is to escape this type of thing

Beautiful hotel, everything was fine! Good food - especially macaroni 🫶🏻 great bar, beach and swimminig pool. A wonderful time and rest here :)

It’s a very clean hotel, the staff is amazing, Archangelo was our friend and was very helpful throughout our time there. The location is also very nice very close to the beach. And the bartender is the best

DJ Music blasting at the pool area till 12 midnight Annoying … even ear plugs weren’t enough to quell it

The hotel is beautiful, the staff is polite, the food is incredibly delicious. First line of the sea. Comfortable sunbeds on the beach. I liked everything very much

Lunch and dinner were delicious, staff was kind and helpful, great view, renovated bathroom, daily maid service, decent wi-fi, clean swimming pool

Great place, great people, warm sea and great tears when I finally had to go back home. Definately reccomend. See you next time

Wrist bands for lunch/dinner options that were never ending - I've never had so many food options ever. And that pool! Just wow! Also, a special hats off to the two head baristas. They ran breakfast like clockwork

The pool is ok , enough sun loungers around. You can rent towels or bring your own. The beach is like 10 min walk through the field and unfortunately is covered in mountain of dry seaweed

The pool and nearby areas were clean and well-kept. The location was great, with many beautiful beaches just a short distance away

The presence of "posidonia" on the beach was unfortunate but nobody's fault and there are several other beaches within walking distance

Always ready with a joke, especially for us aussies who are a little bit special with our coffee orders. I have since learnt that an espresso is the true base of every coffee

The staff were all welcoming and friendly, the cleanliness could not be faulted and the menu varied

The staff is excellent—professional and helpful, especially Filippini at the front desk, and Tommy “the King of breakfast. ” Breakfast buffet was outstanding and well worth the price. Bed was extremely comfortable

Room and facility was b very clean and well-maintained. Room had a few quirks like poorly distributed outlets, but overall our stay was outstanding

Excellent hotel close to the main square and all the attractions. Breakfast was great with many options. Lots of dining options nearby. There is no parking, but they provide a discount for a nearby garage

Great stay in Trieste The breakfast was great. Good choice of delicious bakery items. The staff was very nice, attentive and helpful. The location was perfect for reaching restaurants and main shopping areas.

Incredible! We had the most amazing experience. The hotel is located in a perfect area accessible to several restaurants and shops. Everything was extremely clean. The staff was beyond exceptional

They made a great effort to help me find a sweater left behind on the airplane. They also made us breakfast one morning when we misunderstood when the breakfast time closed. Staff were the icing on the cake

What's not to like? - breakfast overlooking the rocks and the sea, sunbeds, parasols and a pool, with the bar and excellent food right on hand

The landscape of the pool and beach area was dusty and with weeds

A lovely hotel, right on the water's edge on the tip of the Schiso peninsula just outside the bustle of the town but an easy walk to the port and to the shops and town beaches

From start to finish the hotel exceeded our expectations. The location is great with the ability to walk into town or nearby beaches, whilst also being very peaceful

Facilities were good and it was nice to have the choice of swimming in the sea via the ladder or using the pool at a neighbouring hotel, and there were plenty of sun loungers

Nice pool! The only inconvenience I found was the shower in our room which was simply unbearable to deal with all the time

The hotel was perfectly situated, just a short walk from the ferry terminal and all the beautiful shops and restaurants. The spa and pool área were really good and the food at the snack bar was excellent

We loved our stay! The spa was perfect, everyone was so friendly, rooms were simple but perfect, best location. Couldn’t recommend more!

The staff were really friendly and helpful. We loved it’s old fashioned charm

Location was excellent near to the port and in the middle of shopping possibilities and near to Restaurants. Some corners could be renowated, but I was Happy with my room

Needs improvements The location was very good and the staff were brilliant. The hotel inside is in need of works. There were holes in the celing and dated throughout.

The pool and spa area were nice and the staff was friendly. Overall I was Happy choosing this hotel

Once a week there is a more formal dinner, with live music. And apart from that, peace, without any "entertainment" or other "animations". Thermal water in both pools provides relief

Great place to stay, the staff is really kind and professional, they will solve immediately if there is any issue in the room, they will help you with bookings and information, The rooms were well-appointed, spacious, and impeccably maintained, location wise is perfect as is a 5 min walk to the town center and the beach

In the internal one, the water is hot, there are hydromassages. Sauna and gym are closed - they probably make sense out of season, not in the real heat in summer

Friendly and helpful staff. Great location and lovely pool area.

You can relax here in a truly italian way: the hotel is an oasis of greenery (a beautiful garden), experiencing the culture of a thermal spa (which the entire island is) and exceptional peace (the majority of guests at the hotel are Italians in retirement age)

I recommend the option of 2 meals, because the second is a real Italian 4-course dinner, a different menu every day, a different set of local specialties. Drinks during dinner are payable (like HB mode)

Could be excellent hotel as perfect position and has style but poor management makes it average. No internet in bedroom Lovely sea and wide views from superior room. Filthy shower next to thermal pool

Reported but again management ignored. Lovely pool area but recliners not perfectly cleaned - end of season grubby look. Staff at pool were every kind. No soap in pool toilet and urine smell

The room faced the pool, was very quiet, and kept clean and tidy by housekeeping. All the staff were very helpful and friendly, a big thank you to Giacomo on reception for his help trying to locate a case lost by BA

Room was compact, clean, and did the job, nice size outdoor balcony over looking pool area which we had paid for / requested. Room was fully serviced on a daily basis (Grazie!)

Outdoor pool area was clean and not over crowded, the indoor spa pool was compact and most relaxing, with a fine range of spa services available, and which we used

A beautiful hotel very close to restaurants and a quick walk to shops and the harbour. The island is lovely with Thermal pool parks and a relaxing atmosphere

Great even in the office season Great staff. Good breakfast. Pleasant amenities. Great beach spot. Plenty of restaurants/bars in walking distance.

From reservation to check-out our visit was a memorable and pleasant experience. The accommodations and service were first class as well as the amenities offered here. The meals were also exceptional

We had a great family vacations at this hotel. Hotel Super clean, comfortable and the staff were great and friendly. It is a family business hotel. Everyone was working there and that was incredible. We recommend it!

The hotel is completely child friendly, there were always some animation program for children and sometimes for adults also each days

We stayed here for the 12th time but for the first time in one of the amazing Sky Suites. It was definately worth the travel. It is not the cheapest hotel, but you get value fo rmoney

There are many convenience service like bike-rental, air flower for mattreass, child toys, baby carriage for walking in the city

The breakfast was also something to write home about👍🏼 The hotel is placed right by the sea, so it’s easy to take a walk and see the beautiful sea line of Catania👌🏼 so it was a very pleasant stay, and we highly recommend it for other visitors of Catania🇮🇹

The only problem was no free drinking water offered on the room. All other things are great. Breakfast very good

Super service, we got cheated by an other sleep over by Expedia, and walked to the Sea Palace Hotel. They were so nice and understanding, and found a room for us right away

Amazing stay. Great hospitality and amazing rooms. Very good spread at breakfast

Very clean hotel and rooms. Staff is very nice. Close to everything. Rooms had very comfortable beds and pillows and had shampoo, body wash and hand soap as well as multiple towels.

The people were very nice, and the rooms was very nice too

The hotel looks old and not very appealing from the outside but once in the room it’s was good. Very clean. Polite and helpful staff. Very good location. Good size restaurant and also has a bar and lounge area.

Such a beautiful hotel with amazing amenities. Friendly staff with plenty of recommendations for local food and activities. Canal view was gorgeous from my room. Very close to many attractions.

Salvatore Pisani, the General Manager, met us when we arrived and showed us around our beautiful suite. He was very friendly and kind. There was champagne and wine and fruit and treats waiting for us in our room

Great location and excellent breakfasts. Room cleaning was good, though it's a shame they only provide one bottle of water. Many Russian-speaking staff members.

Fluffy scrambled eggs, bacon or sausage, delicious croissants and fruit, oh and the best illy coffee ever! Everything was delicious and a great way to start the day! Throughout our trip there were fruit baskets, wines, chocolate hearts and treats left in our suite when we were out

What a gem this place is! Very close to Rialto bridge water bus stop from the airport, and very close to St Marks Basilica and Square. Rooms are amazingly well presented, very spacious and very clean

The hotel is centrally located and it is so closed to the train and subway station. It is very convenient if you plan to take trains to the outskirts area. It is very safe as a lot of police will be around at night time

The most important is the price is very reasonable. I would recommend to everyone who will travel to Naples, especially first timer travelers or family travelers who look for somewhere convenient, safe and comfortable

There is a supermarket very nearby which you can get all the necessities. The hotel was clean, cozy and spacious. The staffs are very friendly and efficient. And even the breakfast included was superb and tasty

My only 2 suggestions are (1) the terrace should be opened for viewing Mount Versuvian. Unfortunately, it is always closed even I asked in the front desk. Second, the breakfast should have some slight change

An expectedly wonderful stay! It was only like 3 minute walk from the central station. I feel quite safe as there were quite often policeman patrolling

Excellent hotel with great convenience next to Naples central station. Safe and many food options nearby. Great breakfast so please select this option

From the moment we entered the hotel, we were welcomed very kindly and hospitably. The hotel is located at the seaside, on a beach where green and blue meet

They were all friendly and accommodating. The seafront view was priceless. Slept with the balcony doors open every night and listened to the waves. Watched the sun come up in the morning a few times also

The balcony and sea view in the room were great. All the staff were very helpful and friendly

Taormina in the background and the town was enjoyable during the evening. The bar staff and the kitchen staff were amazing, the food was excellent. It's difficult to complain about this place

The location of the hotel is perfect, steps down and your on the beach. Enough (free) sunbeds, basically private beach. Water is crystal clear!! Life savers working through the day watching the beach and pool

A beautiful, relaxing beachfront hotel just a few minutes away from Taoromina.

Great sandy beaches nearby, and crew will gladly take you down there and pick you up on electrical Jeep…What more does one want for a getaway? Thank you for your fantastic service and great hospitality - we want to come back again! It’s been true pleasure!

It’s kept spotlessly clean and the rooms are great. Our room had a sea view in the original LH and was amazing. The bed , circular in design, was one one of the most comfortable beds I have ever slept in

It’s a C19 lighthouse converted into rooms with a beautiful infinity pool and tranquil grounds. Perched on a promontory with its working lighthouse it has oodles of character and a lot going for it

Breakfasts, served by the pool are fantastic. But other aspects of the hotel need upgrading. Some fixtures and fittings are looking tired, and that’s not all that needs a refresh

My rental car got a flat tire 25 min from the Lighthouse and the hotel came and picked me up and arranged transfers for the rest of my stay and back to the airport for a new car rental

Absolutely amazing hotel and setting. The views are beautiful and it’s very quiet and relaxing. The rooms were clean and specious, food was delicious, and the service was fantastic

Steps are open and easily used. the only terrace is at the top of the hotel. Local transport to their other hotel on Paraggi beach is excellent. Clean up staff are up to the task. short walk to the harbor at Portofino

From the moment of arrival to leaving, we felt warmly looked after with exceptional attention. The hotel is in a wonderful position in that you do not need to use a car once you are there as everything is workable

Charming little Paradise on the edge of everything in Portofino

The luxurious black marble bathroom had dual sinks, and a heated floor. The location is extraordinary, just 2 blocks from the port/pizetta. The shuttle service to the beach was very timely and comfortable

The beaches are a 4-5 minute drive, and all three main beaches (Dior, Dolce, and the Eight are all next to each other). The guests appeared to be mostly couples. The staff were nice, especially Ricardo

The Eight hotel is a one hour drive from the Genoa airport, given the roadways, and the taxi cost is around 175-225 Euros. There are no Ubers in Portofino, so taxis are the only possibilities

=) My only concern was that the front door of the hotel seemed to have been broken/busted at some point so it was able to be opened by just pulling hard enough, however there is a locked gate that should generally prevent anyone from being able to open it (assuming it hasn't been propped/left open, which it occasionally was)

I believe we may have been upgraded to a slightly larger room than we booked, so that almost certainly made our stay even more pleasant. My husband and I both enjoyed the included breakfast

Booked at Hotel Villa Alberti after looking at a few different properties in the area. We loved our stay and would likely book here again if we were to return to the area

The room was clean, comfortable, and spacious enough to accommodate our 3 suitcases. The bathroom was great with a decently sized shower that never ran out of hot water

That being said, we still felt safe and had no issues with our stay at the property

I only wish we had a longer stay so I could have tried more of the pastries

Nice storage space is provided. A small balcony, with side-sea views from all rooms. The bathroom needs investment, the shower is weak and very dated

The hotel has a rule of no outside drinks in these areas, but if you want to inforce this a pool bar should be provided, expecting guests to walk to reception, on the ground floor is a stupid idea

The decoration of the place, just like the bar area can only be described as an retirement home. Poor area:- Split on two level; sun deck on on and the swimming pool on the other

The Ipanema Hotel Taormina, Sicily is a traditional Sicilian Hotel with wood panelling. The rooms are spacious with wardrobe space, dressing table, mirrors, comfy beds. There are plug sockets and lights next to the bed

When you enter the dining room you get shown to your table, higher standards which are not needed when the lower hotel standards let you down. Overall, this could be a good breakfast with better quality produce

Dining area:- For a four-star hotel the breakfast should be better. Tinned fruit is a no-no for four-star. The coffee was also weak, not the high standard expected in Italy
