The hotel’s location is in a quiet bay area at the one end of Forio, where there are a few restaurants and bars. Forio’s main streets and shopping area is about a 15-minute stride away, walking along the lovely beach and sea front heading to the harbour. Hotel San Francesco is a lovely family run hotel in a good location just a few minutes’ walk from the beach at Forio. It is a very clean and tidy hotel with a good-sized outdoor swimming pool surrounded by a wonderfully maintained garden area. There is a sun lounge area and a lovely separate area to chill out in the shade under parasols. It was fresh clean and brightly decorated with great artwork in the reception / bar area. We had a room in the villas to the side of the hotel, which suited us. Although older than the hotel the room and bathroom good sized, and typically Italian, which we liked. They were perfectly clean. We stayed on the second floor which had a good view of a local’s garden, and the smell of jasmine filled the air. We had a large balcony, unfortunately we didn’t have a table and chairs to sit out, but I am sure that had we have asked for one the hotel would have obliged. Like others, we did stumble on finding the other pools so perhaps more signage could be used within the hotel? Breakfast was plentiful, with lots of choice, hot or cold. Freshly cooked eggs and bacon were wonderful. The evening meal consisted of Antipasti which was plentiful, lots of salads and vegetables grown in the local allotments. There was a different homemade soup each evening, each cooked simply and yet tasted wonderful (I’ve since realised that I over season my homemade soups). Main meal choices were limited but great with lots of fresh fish. Some folks did moan about the large, cooked prawns served whole but each to their own! I’m Coeliac and follow a Gluten Free Diet, I normally don’t have any issues with finding a GF alternative pasta in Italy and therefore I hadn’t pre-booked a GF menu and unfortunately the hotel didn’t have a GF pasta alternative. However, the restaurant staff did go out of their way to provide me with breads and cakes that I was able to eat. If you do have a dietary requirement – double check when booking the hotel. The staff at the hotel were outstanding, attentive, polite and all very helpful, nothing was too much trouble. When we left at 5am we were each provided with a hot drink and a breakfast bag as we had a long trip back home. This was very much appreciated and summed up the care and attention to detail that the hotel staff put in to ensuring that we enjoyed our holiday. The botanical gardens of Giardini la Mortella, which has lovely views of Forio are about 20 minutes to walk from the Hotel. It has beautiful gardens which have lots of handy toilets and a wonderful restaurant selling fresh food and drinks. It’s an uphill walk to the gardens from the hotel, but well worth the effort. The town of Forio had some delightful sh
