Villa Irlanda Grand Hotel

Villa Irlanda Grand Hotel is a small and very well maintained hotel between Formia and Gaeta. It is located approx. 1 h by IC train from Rome to Formia and then less than 10 min from the station to the hotel (bus stop is right in front of the hotel). My room was spacious, very clean and the air conditioned. I only had B&B but selecting the half board would have been an option. The hotel's bar & terrace serves the breakfast, snacks and light lunch during the day (good choises and reasonably priced). The breakfast is very good, especially frest fruit salad. The dinner restaurant is open in the evenings. Although the sea is on the other side of the road in front of the hotel, there is no beach. It does not matter because the hotel's pool is large and the heart of the hotel area. Both buildings and the garden are very beautiful and peaceful. Staff is extremely friendly and helpful, and using English is not a problem at all. The hotel has wifi (access code from the reception) but the connection is quite bad and slow. The same applies to the computer that is available for guests' use. There is nothing really to do around the hotel itself but Gaeta and its beaches are only about 10 min away by bus (tickets sold at the reception). Instead of going to crowded beaches I would still recommend to relax and spend few lazy days by the pool and enjoy the good service and atmosphere of Villa Irlanda Grand Hotel. The hotel also offers beauty treatments and massages.

Struttura alberghiera immersa nel verde con grande piscina, maggiormente indicata nei mesi estivi. L'albergo si compone di più edifici che non sono collegati tra loro e prevedono percorsi scoperti. Dal parcheggio, alle camere situate nella parte più alta, non sono previsti servizi di spostamento ma solo un piccolo mezzo guidato dal personale, se disponibile. Stanze pulite, leggermente rumorose. Impianti e arredamento non adeguati e che necessiterebbero di una ristrutturazione. Qualche personale dell'albergo non é stato gentile nei nostri confronti dato che abbiamo avuto un phon rotto in bagno e due giorni di acqua arancione che usciva dalle tubazioni a seguito di giornate di grande pioggia. Nessuno della struttura ci ha avvisati del disagio e del divieto di utilizzo dell'acqua in quei giorni.
