While I haven't stayed overnight at the Hotel Terme Oriente, I’ve spent enough time in their spa to know it’s a wonderful place to unwind. It’s located right in the bustling heart of Ischia Porto, yet it feels like a peaceful world of its own.

The spa area might be on the smaller side, whether you are visiting in the heat of summer or during the crisp days of early spring, the atmosphere remains warm and inviting.

One of the highlights of this hotel is the beautiful outdoor pool, but the real secret lies on the roof.

A friendly word of advice from someone who has tested it, the thermal mud water is fantastic for your body, but it will stain your swimwear. Do not wear your favorite designer bikini! Opt for an older swimsuit so you can enjoy the mud baths without any worries.
