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.

Amazing bistrot on the water. Very nice breakfast. Generally Gaeta has a cool vibe.

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.

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.

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.

Nice grounds. Quiet and private! Staff was very friendly and it was very clean! Beds were very hard.

The grounds of this hotel are beautiful. Fruit trees everywhere. The pool was nice. The air conditioning in my room didn't work. I was on the ground level, didn't feel comfortable leaving my windows open so got very hot at night.
