Hotel La Sciara

Good: friendly staff, the pool Bad: could be more clean, the pictures look better than the reality

We missed the last ferry to the island, so emailed them at night to let them know. We arrived the next morning at 10:00 but the hotel is sooooo far away, no exaggeration but probably the last hotel on the island, so location no ideal. The front desk tells us they gave our room away but not to worry they will give us a refund for the first night (spoiler alert, it was a lie). We didn't get a room until 15:30 because they were still cleaning. No problem, we didn't show up on time and they made money from another guest, so no harm but nope, they are greedy and want everyone's money. The pool is filthy and never cleaned, so you only sit by the chairs. They either run out of stuff or charge extra for anything that they do have. I get it's an island but no need to rob on the island. The room was supposed to be facing ocean but no real views, so if you don't listen to my warning to pick a different hotel, don't pay extra for a view because it just doesn't exist. I would never stay here and would recommend everyone to stay away. There are better options on the island. If you don't believe me, you will once you get there.

Struttura bella ed accogliente. Le ragazze della reception sono molto carine e disponibili. Vicinissimo alle calette di Balordi, grotta di Eolo e alle spiagge principali.

Hotel in ottima posizione, dotato di una gran bella piscina, semplici e pulite le camere, sufficiente la colazione, personale gentile e disponibile. Buona struttura dove passare volentieri più di qualche giorno.

We stayed one night at hotel La Sciara in June. The accommodation was about one kilometer away to the west-northwest of the port of San Vincenzo and was easily accessible by taxi, but also on foot. It was pleasantly quiet there. The room was fairly clean and was quiet. The view from the pool was unsurpassed with a beautiful view of the smoking Stromboli volcano. The pool was lovely and clean with a terrace around it with sun loungers. The breakfast buffet was very tasty. The staff were very friendly.

Our experience at La Sciara was an over the top expectation exceeded. The highlights were definitely focused around the private terrace with a private, stylish, creative cocktail bar. The sunset view from the terrace high above the sea exceeded all expectations, but the added delight of the new? sauna, steam room and "Russian" style bucket shower was over the top. The pool, the menu and the hospitality were awesome. We are returning in September
