Ok this was not what we expected. We expected to stay in the building shown on Expedia's website (the Grand Hotel). However we were relagated to the service building which does have four units on three floors. Unfortunately (I've had this experience before when booking with Expedia) it felt like we were given the backroom on the third floor. Upon opening the window our view was dumpsters. But to be fair in the distance were lemon and orange trees and a nice view of the sea. There was also an issue with no heat. The management told us that we were there on the shoulder season so the main facilities were closed (so was the heat). Go figure. (Expedia intervened) -- They moved us to a lower unit and somehow with computerized thermostats cooked us at night. We could not easily manage the temperature in the room. The shower was so small (maybe 2.5 x 2.5 feet). Do not consider if your are larger person. You cannot bend over to wash your legs or feet. The actual town is close by. Great boardwalk and many restaurant options. But be careful traveling on shoulder seasons. Almost all museums, art centers are closed. Parking is at a distance from all buildings. Walkways are difficult with paving and suitcases.

A lovely hotel with a beautiful pool
The hotel is beautiful and the pool was the highlight of our stay (I wish the pool stayed open later). We had a large room with a private balcony which was quite nice. We definitely would have appreciated a bit of help with our luggage, particularly since the elevator stopped at the floor below our room, but other than that, we didn’t have any complaints.

Pretty buildings but needs massive modernisation.
Extremely expensive food options, minibar, no water or amenities in room, unusable wifi. No bellhop service available on arrival. Nice buildings and clean, but haven't been upgraded since the early nineties. A single power point hidden behind the bed in the room. Need complete modernisation. 2*

We stayed one night only because we did not see many things to do around Gaeta on the internet. Yet, I wanted to be there for my birthday. It is a nice quiet town. There are some medieval buildings. Unfortunately, I programmed only one day there which I now regret. I had a great time. The hotel is nice and I like the garden of orange trees . The staff was great and very helpful, I had a problem where I took the wrong bus. I called Simona and she saved the day. Thank you very much we had a great time.

Excellent Villa Irlanda.
A lovely hotel. The rooms were very comfortable and clean. The pool is outstanding, huge with an adjoining hydro pool and feels very private. Delicious breakfast,lunch and dinner. The hotel stands in beautiful gardens with lemon trees galore. The hotel has its own promenade by the seafront. The staff were superb. Highly recommended.

Villa Irlanda is a jewel on the coast with an impressive garden and view of the Gulf of Gaeta; I was there many times twenty years ago, returning today as a stop and go on my journey to Amalfi Coast. The place is kept in proper conditions as it was, some (minor) defects remain: parking lots are still not paved, and the food at the restaurant not to the level I remembered, missing, probably due to the covid-19 the gorgeous buffet. Everything else is perfect.

Outstanding property.It was like staying at a beautiful villa on a well maintained estate. Lush landscaping with a beautiful view of the Gulf ans the Latina hill country. Great breakfast buffet and restaurant on property for a tasty Italian dinner. In season or out of season the attention to detail is perfect. I will surely visit again.

The breakfast choice is very limited and if you want a drink or food you need to ask at the right time as service is only provided when someone is available. The grounds are lovely and the swimming pool is nice. The rooms are a bit bare and could do with a bit more attention being paid on them. The hotel is no more than 3* property. No water provided in the rooms and no tea or coffee facilities. No bad value and the location is good close to the beach but if you want to go to Gaeta you will need to rent a car.

We stayed ay Villa Irlanda for one night while traveling through Gaeta. We had chosen a suite room, but found that the room was very outdated and had a narrow spiral staircase going up to the bedroom. We asked to change to a standard double room, which was great; then worked with Expedia to get the lower rate. The property overall is very beautiful, but now really near to Gaeta. The breakfast was very nice.

The property is beautiful! The location is in between 2 towns which was good but had about a 3-4 mile walk to either town. So mostly by cab. They offered a breakfast that was included in your rate and was good. Hotel staff very nice and helpful.

Stunning spot to relax
Stayed here for a break post five hectic days in rome, but loved it so much did not even bother to explore the local area. The site itself is stunn8ng with one of the best pools surrounded by trees ever been at, there is also a jetty though a tunnel to a platform where you can sit on loungers overlooking the sea. The rooms had good airconditioning but the bathroom needs updating, classical nature may be an issue here , the shower cubicle was tiny though water hot. Very clean. Staff lovely though feel at dinner there were not enough of them but made for a leisurely meal. We had the 35euro 4 course meal which was good and with wine from 10 euros excellent value. Overall had a superb stay. wifi was a bit hit and miss.

Nice Hotel .. lovely and helpful staff .. breakfast good ..pool was good too ..location between Gaeta and Formia .. no restaurants nearby, you have to drive to Formia or Gaeta or eat in the Hotel (didn't try it)...no beach directly at the hotel ..you have a platform where you can sunbathing and go into the sea..but about 100m the long sandbeach stats so no problem ..enjoyed our stay very much

Outstanding property! The pool is fabulous; we ate dinner there one night and it was excellent. The pool bar area is also the breakfast spot. Typical European offerings, but nice. The service staff were all very kind, prompt, and welcoming. There is not much within walking distance but we had a car. Would definitely go back!

First the goods: grounds are beautiful, pool is very nice, platform on coast is nice, dinner was great, and breakfast good. The bad: Most of the staff could not speak English, staff customer service was deplorable and acted like guests were an inconvenience. Now maybe this was just towards non-Italians...don’t know for sure. I could not recommend this hotel to Americans for this reason. Bed was a rock, actually it was a hard mattress thrown on a cot-like support structure! Shower was backed up, but they fixed it in a timely manner. Maids did a great job of cleaning. Hotel in the middle of no where on the coast between Gaeta and Formia. Bus was sporadic at best and taxis non existent. I wouldn’t stay here if plan was to be in Gaeta or Formia, actually I would not go back to Gaeta again. Pretty town, but not American friendly...very rude people abound.

One of the nicest places I've enjoyed, I could find no fault here, and I'm very particular and critical! Excellent price for the offering, that's for sure. I had a lovely room with pretty outdoor space that was cool and inviting. The room was very clean and comfortable with everything I could possibly want. The restaurant and terrace are nicely organized and simple, relaxing, clean and elegant, yet casual. The breakfast buffet was perfect. Nicely presented with a good variety of simple but delicious cereals, breakfast meats and cheese, soft breads, a delicious lemon curd cake, coffee, juices, yogurt and fruits. I'll definitely be coming back!

We stayed at Villa Irlanda to celebrate my 70th birthday with some members of our family, including our two granddaugters aged 8 and 4. It was perfection from start to finish. Beautiful bedrooms and the outdoor pool was a great hit with them all. The food was excellent as was the service. 10 out of 10 all round and we look forward to staying there again.

We would certainly recommend this hotel to any other New Zealander’s travelling in Italy. Thank you

Amazing hotel - great for a stopover
The hotel is absolutely amazing. As a stop on our way from Venice to the Amalfi coast it was the perfect place to unwind. Gaeta itself does not have much to offer, but there are some small towns in the area that are worth visiting. Ideal for stopping 2-3 days in between larger cities. The hotel rooms have amazing views, the grounds are absolutely beautiful, and it has one of the most beautiful swimming pool areas I've seen.
