Lacco Ameno is situated in the northwestern part of the island of Ischia and extends along the sea and on the first slopes of Mount Epomeo; it has an area of ​​2.7 square kilometers with about 4500 inhabitants.

It is the smallest municipality on the island, known for its thermal waters. Here are many sources: the source of the Legne, of the Capitello, of Santa Restituta, of Regina Isabella, of San Montano and the vaporous stove of San Lorenzo.

Within a few years, Lacco Ameno and the whole island of Ischia became a place of attraction for jet-set people from all over the world.The port of Lacco Ameno is characterized by the presence of a rock which, due to its singular shape, is called “the mushroom“: it is a 10-meter high mass of green tuff which, according to the legend, would have fallen from Mount Epomeo.
