Looking for a seaside spot for perfect days on the beach with a certain je ne sais quoi for your next getaway in Italy? Then we might recommend a trip to Ischia while you enjoy a stay in one of our incredible villas in Campania. This mountainous volcanic island, positioned at the northern end of the Gulf of Naples and around 30km from Naples is wonderfully unique and utterly lovely. If you’re considering a holiday rental in Campania but want to see what the region has beyond the immensely well-loved Amalfi Coast, it is a true gem just waiting to be explored...

Easy Access

One of the best parts about planning a day-trip to Ischia is that it is easy to access. Simply hop on the ferry from Naples and you’ll be on the island in 50 minutes. Plus, on the way over, you’ll be able to enjoy the boat ride and the scenery – sounds like the perfect way to begin a day out!

When one is planning a vacation during the winter months, there are really two ways that you can choose to go: embrace the cold by planning a ski break or try and fight the cold by going to a warm destination or a place where you can get warm readily. In the latter case, the naturally-occurring thermal springs located all around Italy mean that even if temperatures outside are not that high, the soothing, therapeutic, relaxing mineral-rich waters in these hot springs are sure to warm you up, right down to your bones!

So, if you're someone who is always trying to fight the cold and you are looking to enjoy a relaxing spa getaway this winter, we highly recommend heading to one of these destinations. Plus, if you want to combine a bit of both ways of coping with the cold – embracing it and enjoying winter activities and soaking in thermal waters to warm up afterwards – many of the same towns where thermal springs are found also have ski facilities themselves or ski resorts located close by. Here are our picks for the top thermal spa destinations to discover on vacation in Italy this winter...
