Terme di Ischia Casamicciola

Casamicciola Terme is a coastal spa town on the island of Ischia in the Bay of Naples, where radon- and chloride-rich volcanic thermal waters from the Monte Epomeo geothermal system have been used since antiquity and developed into Italy's most famous island thermal resort in the 19th century, attracting guests including King Victor Emmanuel II, Garibaldi, and the playwright Henrik Ibsen who wrote Peer Gynt here in 1867. The radon and chloride spring waters of Casamicciola, among the most therapeutically diverse on Ischia with over 100 springs of varying composition across the island, are used for musculoskeletal, cardiovascular, and dermatological treatments in facilities that have survived multiple devastating earthquakes — most recently in 2017 — while the thermal tradition continues uninterrupted. The extraordinary combination of volcanic island thermal culture, Nobel literary history, Bourbon royal bathing heritage, and the stunning Bay of Naples setting with Vesuvius on the horizon makes Casamicciola the most historically layered island spa destination in the Mediterranean.
