Summer on Ischia, villas with thermal pools
Ischia is the larger, greener and more relaxed neighbour of Capri, a volcanic island where hot springs rise from the ground and gardens flourish on the slopes of Monte Epomeo. Summer here means sandy beaches such as the Maronti, sunsets over the west coast at Forio, dinners of rabbit cooked the island way, and days that begin and end in warm mineral water.
Many of the villas below draw on that heat: west facing houses near Forio with pools of 32°C thermal water, and a house for two above the port whose infinity pool meets the horizon. For larger parties there is a countess's mansion with 12 bedrooms on its own promontory above live fumaroles, facing the sea from Capri to Procida.

This long stretch of sand on the south coast is warmed by fumaroles in places, and water taxis run to it from the village of Sant'Angelo.
The west coast faces the open sea. From the terrace of the Soccorso church in Forio, the sun sets straight into the water.
In high summer a warm thermal pool is best enjoyed early or late in the day, with plenty of drinking water between dips.
