Some cleanliness issues
General outdated look
Family Spa Hotel Le Canne is a 50-room hotel located 10 minutes' drive from the village of Forio, in the northwest of Ischia island. The three pearl hotel isn't directly on the beach, but there's a shuttle service and free access to a beach club with chairs on San Francesco Beach. For those who don't want to make the trek to swim, there's a large outdoor pool at the hotel. The on-site restaurant serves breakfast buffet, and then a combination of a la carte and buffet dishes for lunch and dinner. Rooms are old-fashioned looking with floral tile floors and heavy wood furniture; past guests have noted cleanliness issues. The vast majority of visitors are families with children, and there's a kids' club with activities during the summer. For couples who want a quieter getaway check rates at Mezzatorre Resort & Spa, but expect to pay more.

Scene
Family hotel with a homey vibe
The hotel has the word "family" in it for a reason: the vast majority of guests here are families with kids, and the hotel caters to them with kids' menus at the restaurant and a kids' club in the summer. The general atmosphere is homey with white walls, matching floral sofas and chairs, and a vase of artificial sunflowers in the lobby. Guests enter the restaurant through a glass door accented with painted fruit. White tablecloths and napkins add a hint of formality while a hand-painted mural of the Italian countryside brings a bit of color to the space. A flat-screen TV is on the wall next to the bar. Outside, the grounds are neat but fairly simple. A hill abuts the back of the pool and trimmed hedges and trees provide greenery.
Location
10 minutes from Forio
Family Spa Hotel Le Canne is located in a bland neighborhood about a 10-minute drive from Forio, a touristy village and port in the northwest area of Ischia island. Walking near the hotel isn't recommended as there isn't a sidewalk and cars are known to drive quickly, plus there isn't anything of interest to walk to. With a car, the beaches, villages, and port can be reached within 15 to 20 minutes. Parking at the hotel is free.
Rooms
Older decor and furnished terraces
The rooms at Family Spa Hotel Le Canne aren't the highlight of the hotel. They're on the small side and have outdated decor that includes heavy wood furniture, floral floor tiles, and ugly orange polyester bedspreads. White walls are decorated with simple artwork like a painting of a basket filled with flowers. Past guests have complained about cleanliness issues. Amenities include free Wi-Fi, air-conditioning, small flat-screen TVs, and furnished outdoor terraces. Narrow bathrooms include a single sink, toilet, bidet, and shower covered with a pink curtain.
Features
Beach club, on-site restaurant, and an outdoor pool
Le Canne has a variety of features that focus on family needs, such as the seasonal kids' club that provides activities for little ones at the hotel and on the beach. The on-site restaurant serves kid-friendly fare and there's a parent's corner with a kitchenette for preparing bottles and baby food. Breakfast is served buffet style, and there are made-to-order dishes and buffet options for lunch and dinner. Guests can swim in the large, deep pool at the hotel or take the free and regular shuttle to the beach, which has a full club and facilities. Wi-Fi is free throughout the hotel and there are bikes to borrow. Packages are available for spa treatments at the sister property, Hotel Le Canne & Beauty.
