Telese Terme, in the heart of the Valle Telesina in Campania, is nationally and internationally renowned for its thermal complex, fed by beneficial hypotermal sulphurous waters. The town, although modern and functional, boasts a history rooted in the Roman and medieval eras, evidenced by the nearby ruins of Telesia. A stay here is a perfect combination of wellness, thanks to the regenerating thermal treatments, and the discovery of the rich food and wine landscape of Sannio, land of great wines like Aglianico and Falanghina.
