“Getting there from Naples was harder than welcome anticipated as it involved a rail replacement bus connection but it was worth it when we arrived. We explored the outdoor pools first, feet nibbling fish in one and mud at the next with a 'greenhouse' to sit in to let the mud dry!! Signage wasn't great and we nearly didnt find the natural thermal pool and sauna inside th3 building. This was definitely the highlight. Beware though, bathing hats compulsory at the indoor pool and we were stopped but reception very kindly gave us one each.”
