Castiglione Thermal park Ischia

Oasis of peace and tranquility nestled in a lush and luxuriant nature that slowly goes to kiss the blue of the sea: the Castiglione Thermal Park in Casamicciola has made these two colors that characterize it, a motto and a source of pride (The bluest green you've ever seen!), making it a unique piece in the mosaic of colorful beauty of Ischia.

Castiglione Thermal park Ischia

The story of this extraordinary thermal park where you can “enjoy” all the wealth, has very far origins.

It is located in the north of the island, in the town of Ischia Terme, in Ischia Porto border in a lush natural valley sloping towards the sea.

The flower beds and pine trees that surround the spa park, create an ideal atmosphere of tranquility. In Castiglione Thermal Park is made available to 10 including 8 spa pools with a gradation of water, continuously filtered by modern machines, ranging from 30 ° - 40 ° C, the Olympic swimming pool (mt x 25 mt. 14 ) fed by sea water and access to the beach with a jetty equipped from 15 June to 30 September.

Therefore, not only a beautiful hydrothermal complex, but a true sensory experience from the small funicular that connects the entrance with spas and pools, passing through the picturesque trees and pine trees that give off a scent of resin and contrasting a wild Mediterranean vegetation dominated by chestnut trees and oaks, until it was lost into the sea, while a flock of birds gladdens us with its singing.

Negombo thermal park

Come on in. The water is fantastic.

Quite soothing and relaxing, in fact.

With the thermal pool — featuring hydro-massaging jets — kept at a constant temperature of 93.2 degrees Fahrenheit, I can understand why.

Sometimes, it’s little life events such as taking a day to pamper yourself that can do wonders to rejuvenate the soul, and thermal spas in Italy — particularly the region around Naples — abound. A recent trip to the popular Negombo resort on the volcanic island of Ischia proved worthy of its 28-euro entry fee (ticket bought from a tourist center at Ischia Porto for a 2-euro discount.)

Negombo thermal park

Negombo, set on the shores of the Bay of San Montano on the northwestern side of the island and splashed by the Tyrrhenian Sea, is considered one of the richest therapeutic basins in the region and a generous source of thermal water, according to an information packet doled out to visitors.

The park offers a number of “pools,” each designed to achieve a particular benefit. The thermal pools provide relaxation and are said to work toward the prevention of rheumatism, while the hydro-massaging jets stimulate circulation. The heat from the hamam, or Turkish sauna/bath, helps the body expel toxins and the private beach provides access to the sea for swimming and exposure to iodine, which benefits the thyroid gland.

Negombo thermal park

Negombo is more than a spa with thermal pools, however. It boasts lavish gardens designed by landscape artist Ermanno Casasco, who incorporated more than 500 varieties of Mediterranean and exotic plants throughout the park.

But quite honestly, while pretty, people don’t really go to Negombo for the gardens. They go for the thermal water spouts, the tufa sauna cave, or the “Kneipp” pool, which features two pools of water, one hot and one cold. Wading into one and then the other, with their contrast of temperatures, stimulates circulation and tones the body.

There’s the Olympic-size sea water pool, kept at ambient temperature, or the Jacuzzi with hydro-massaging jets and kept at a soothing, constant 100.4 degrees Fahrenheit. (It seats eight and tends to remain full.)

And for the maximum indulgence, be sure to hit up the hamam, complete with a hot center stone on which patrons sit or lie to induce profuse sweating that causes the body to eliminate toxins.

Bring a robe, flip-flops and bathing suit — this isn’t a no-clothes spa.

The healing properties and overall benefits of thermal waters have been used since the time of the Etruscans, some 800 years B.C.

DIRECTIONS: From Ischia Porto or Casamicciola, take public bus 1, 2 or CS for Baia San Montano. Get off at the San Lorenzo stop and follow the signs to the park.

TIMES: 8:30 a.m. to 7 p.m. daily

COSTS: It costs 30 euros per person at the resort, but tickets bought at Busfahrkarten ticket booth at Ischia Porto main square can save you 2 euros a ticket. Bus tickets cost 1.90 euros for 90 minutes.
