Villa Irlanda Grand Hotel

La struttura abbastanza bella ma le camere sono vecchie. Inoltre la spiaggia non è comodissima.

Tre notti di tranquillità in una stanza retrò spaziosa e silenziosa. Colazione migliorabile ma il miele di loro produzione, le confetture ed i dolci fanno dimenticare il buffet salato un po' tristanzuolo. Serve una laurea in informtica per il telcomando TV ma il luogo stimola svaghi meno sedentari. Piscina davvero bella, personale cortesissimo e posizione ottima. Necessario qualche aggiornamento delle stanze ma nel complesso ci siamo trovati benissimo e pagato il giusto.

We spent 3 nights in February for a short break. We drove from Rome, which is about 2 hours away. We took the scenic route on the way down, and the motorway (8.30€ toll) going back. The scenic route is a bit more challenging, but worth it. The hotel is a lovely Italian villa and has rooms in the main building and in the 1930’s church building. Our room was in the main villa with views on the gardens and on the sea. The room was well equipped with Android tv, minibar, air conditioning, comfortable bed and great bathroom. The villa is set in a large park with hundreds of lemon and orange trees, all bearing fruits in this season. There is also free parking on the grounds, which is like gold dust in Italy. We used the breakfast buffet every morning. It has a great selection of continental options, but not hot breakfast, if that’s your thing. Gaeta is situated about 1h45 from Pompeii and Herculaneum, and 20mn from the war memorial at Minturno. The staff at reception was lovely and super helpful. There is a city tax of 4€ per person and per day at checkout, as it’s customary in Europe. The beach is only yards away, and there are several more as you drive along the coast towards Sperlonga. If you plan to stay in the area, I would definitely recommend staying at Villa Irlanda.
