The thermal mineral springs of the island of Ischia have been used for therapeutic purposes since the 7th century BC.
An ancient hydrothermal basin is the one located in Monterone in the Municipality of Forio, where the "Terme Colella" were built, inside the three-star hotel of the same name.
The spa is made up of very modern and functional structures, with highly specialized staff for bath therapies, mud treatments, massages, inhalation treatments, beauty treatments, always under direct medical supervision.
The thermal baths of the hotel in Forio have an agreement with the National Health Service (ASL) and offer numerous treatments for a thermal holiday in Forio.
Aerosol therapy, inhalations, mud therapy, and all that is necessary for a cycle of spa treatments.
To take advantage of the ASL convention at the spas, it is necessary to submit to the Hotel spa department the ASL request by doctor who prescribes the cycle of spa treatments to be carried out during the spa stay in the hotel in Forio.
To take advantage of the agreed treatments, a referral from the attending physician issued in the current year is required. The prescription must report the diagnosis and the treatment to be carried out in every detail.
The treatment period is 12 continuous days, usable only once during the calendar year (except for some protected categories).
Those in possession of a referral do not pay for the admission visit and treatment, only the ticket (€ 65,00) for the entire established cycle.
Exemptions are made for income, pathology and some protected categories.
