Baia di Sorgeto is a wild natural thermal cove on the southwestern coast of Ischia island in the Bay of Naples, Campania, where chloride-rich volcanic hot springs bubble up directly from the seafloor at 50–70°C, mixing with the cooler Mediterranean to create naturally tempered pools in a rocky bay. Access by steep stone steps or water taxi contributes to the romantic, slightly wild atmosphere that distinguishes Sorgeto from Ischia's more developed spa hotels. The sight of boiling volcanic water meeting the Tyrrhenian Sea, framed by terraced hillside gardens and fishing boats, makes Baia di Sorgeto one of Italy's most memorable free natural thermal experiences.
