A Stone’s Throw From Naples

Spa, excellent food and culture

Set in the magnificent scenery of the Phlegraean Fields, the Stufe di Nerone are the thermal baths in Campania known since ancient times for their treatments and relaxation.
The large thermal park with natural springs, palm trees, olive trees, pergolas, allow you to live a pleasant day of relaxation outdoors, between a sauna and a whirlpool in the thermal pool situated inside the hot area.
The cuisine of the Osteria Abraxas offers meals that are the result of a perfect synthesis between tradition and innovation, based on simple and natural products, with particular attention and care in the choice of wines.
The tour continues in the afternoon with a visit to Lake Averno, which in ancient times was also synonymous with Hell: the poet Virgil in Book VI of Aeneid considered it the entrance to the Underworld.
In Roman times, during the period of Agrippa, the lake was transformed into one of the ports of Cuma, the port Julius, in addition to the other pre-existing one that was located on the sea, where we now find the lake of Lucrino.
Not far away are the Temple of Apollo, the Cave of the Cumaean Sibyl (actually a cave dug into the tuff, about 200 m long, probably created to connect the lake to the sea, which, due to the suggestion of the environment and the infiltration of water that create an underground river, was associated with the infernal Styx and the places of the Acheron) and the Cave of Coccei.
