Casamicciola Terme is a town located in the northernmost part of the island of Ischia in the province of Naples, very famous for the spa treatments it offers its visitors and for being a seaside resort with great appeal. It covers about 50 square kilometers, many of them in the hills even though most of the settlements are located in the coastal part of the town. The population of Casamicciola Terme consists of about 8,000 and 500 inhabitants and has a port with both commercial and seaside functions.

Among the places of interest located in the city, the Pio Monte della Misericordia stands out without a doubt. It is an architectural structure, probably the most interesting of the entire island of Ischia, dating back to the 17th century and which overall between internal and external parts offers a plant from as many as 25 thousand square meters of extension. It was a construction with charitable purposes since thermal treatments were carried out inside it and in particular offering them to those who needed it. It has not been used since the end of the 19th century and that is, since a violent earthquake made it unusable.

Another point of interest is the ancient Geophysical Observatory dating back to 1885, built just after the terrible earthquake said. It presents in its interior an interesting museum where old devices and scientific instruments are preserved useful in recent centuries, in some types of surveys. In addition, being positioned at a very high point, the Observatory offers its visitors a truly enchanting view.

Casamicciola Terme has two very well equipped beaches that are well suited to satisfying the needs of holidaymakers. The first is the Marina beach, located near the port and for this reason very easy to reach. It is a beach with rather fine sand and with a seabed that gradually increases in depth, also lending itself to couples with children in tow. In addition, it is equipped with any possible and imaginable service allowing even the practice of some water sports.

The other is the beach of Bagnitiello located in a rather cramped cove and located near the hot spring homonymous. It is a completely free beach, with a small size and adjacent to the spa park where it is possible to undergo treatments aimed at body care. Unlike the other beach, the path to access it is not so convenient, even if there is a shuttle that transports bathers from the port to its vicinity and vice versa.

A characteristic feature of Casamicciola Terme is the fact of presenting on its territory several thermal parks, famous all over the world for the benefits that bring in the care of physical well-being. The best known and popular is the Castiglione thermal park. A truly exceptional structure that unfolds in a dreamy natural setting and to be exact in a basin that gradually decreases until reaching sea level. Inside there are different types of structures such as thermal pools powered directly from the source, areas fully equipped for making mud, massages, inhalations, acupuncture and a lot of more.
