Hotel Terme Stella Maris

Locality
Situated in the northern part of the island, it has a tourist and commercial harbour. It borders with the municipalities of Ischia Porto and Barano d'Ischia, following the path that divides the Bosco della Maddalena from the Monte Maschiatta. The edge of the Jetto hill separates Casamicciola from the municipality of Serrara Fontana, touching Forio and Lacco Ameno (in other words, it borders with every other municipalities of the island). It is mainly hilly and has a surface of 5,5 square km.

Places to know and visit
Basilica del Sacro Cuore di Gesù and Santa Maria Maddalena Penitente.
The original church was destroyed by the 1883 earthquake so its date of "birth" is unknown. Then it was rebuilt and inagurated in the 1896. It has three naves, an altar made of polichrome marbles and other eight altars in the chaples on the sides. It has a marble baptismal font dated back to the eighth century, many statues and hosts the grave of Giuseppe Morgera. In may 1965, Pope Paolo VI promoted it to "minor cathedral".

Confraternita di Santa Maria della Pietà
This church was built in the 1897 and it hosts the seventeenth-century painting "La deposizione del Signore dalla Croce" by Andrea Vaccaro, inspired by the naturalism of Caravaggio, which he reinterpreted in a classicist style. He used different painting methods and the main charateristics of his works are the regularity of the shapes, the use of light colours and the almost total absence of expressions and violent attitudes in the portrayed characters.

Church of Sant'Antonio al Mortito
The church of Sant' Antonio da Padova was built in the 1955, and what we see now is the result of the many restorations that a small rural church built in th 1962 by Cesare Corbera underwent. On the marble altar there is the wooden statue of sant'Antonio da Padova (nineteenth century) that replaced the old terracotta statue dated back to the 1850. In the church there are other three statues: San Giuseppe, the Cuore di Gesù and the Immacolata.

Castiglione Thermal Park
Situatued in a bay surrounded by a flourishing mediterranean scrub, which makes it a quiet and relaxing place. Castiglione Thermal Park has 10 pools: 8 of them have thermal waters that go from a 30°C temperature to a 40°C one; one big seawater pool (25m x 14m), direct access to the sea and private beach.

Itineraries and nature trips in the "Bosco della Maddalena and Cretaio"
Green pines and shaded paths lead to a hill that has a wonderful view on the harbour of Ischia Porto. The first part of the path is paved, then there is a local-stone stairway that leads to a well-kept path surrounded by the mediterranean scrub of the Cretaio, ancient area originated by eruptions, that has a panoramic promontory with a view on the municipality of Ischia and its Aragonese Castle and on Casamicciola. Proceeding in the wood full of pines, myrtle shrubs and holm-oak trees you can reach Fondo D'Oglio, a crater of about 350 meters of diameter and 127-meter deep.

Old factory of Terracotte Mennella (free access)
Thanks to its 500 years of hystory, it is one of the most important traditions of Ischia, famous for the manufacturing of terracotta and the production of vases since the eighth century B.C., as many archeological findings show: for example, there is the notorious Nestore Cup, one of the first expressions of poetry in the West. Exhibited in the factory there are many prestigious pieces and creations that highlight the decorative ability and creativity of the artists of Ischia.
