While some might find the size a bit limited or wish for more comprehensive massage options, overall it promises good value and a genuine taste of wellness in Italy’s vibrant south.

What Makes Terme di Agnano Special?
We loved the way this experience combines wellness with the natural beauty of its surroundings. Located just outside Naples, the center is a peaceful oasis amid the bustling urban environment. The thermal waters, linked to the volcanic activity in the area, are naturally rich in minerals, which many believe help ease muscle tension and promote skin health. The pools are kept at soothing temperatures, ranging from 35° to 40°, making swimming or simply lounging an effortless pleasure.
The highlight for many visitors is the variety of pools—two outdoor thermal pools with cervical showers, four indoor hydromassage pools, and a natural outdoor pool at room temperature. This mix allows you to switch between invigorating and calming experiences, tailored to your mood. The indoor pools feature jets and hydromassage, ideal for easing tension after a day of exploring Naples or nearby attractions.
The sauna options—Finnish and aromatherapy—are also noteworthy. They add a layer of detox and relaxation, especially appreciated after a swim. The relaxation areas—covered and open-air—are cozy spots to unwind, sip herbal teas, or simply listen to the sounds of nature.
