Terme di Casteldoria lies between Martis and Laerru, in the Sassari Province of Sardinia, Italy. Known for sulfurous, sodium-chloride water that emerges at a notably high temperature near 76°C, it offers indoor pools, massage and a sauna.
Insider tip — Terme di Casteldoria, near the medieval tower of Casteldoria on the Coghinas River in northern Sardinia, harnesses one of Italy's hottest natural springs, emerging at up to 76°C from deep fault systems in the Paleozoic granite. The extraordinary temperature requires significant dilution before bathing. The highly mineralised sulfurous-saline composition has been exploited since Roman times. The Coghinas river valley setting, with cork-oak forests and the ruined Doria castle on a basalt promontory above, provides a dramatically historical backdrop.
