At the southern end of the island of Ischia, you will find Sant'Angelo, a fishing village that enchants visitors with its relaxing atmosphere.
This small earthly paradise, with its authentic charm and timeless beauty, is an ideal refuge for those who wish to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life and immerse themselves in an atmosphere of peace and tranquility.
The name Sant'Angelo derives from the presence of an ancient church dedicated to the Archangel Michael, located on the upper part of the islet that characterizes the village.
The church, although no longer existing in its original form, has left its mark in the toponym of the place.
The cult of the Archangel Michael is still alive in Sant'Angelo, with a feast celebrated at the end of September, which includes a suggestive procession at sea.
Sant'Angelo still retains the appearance of a typical Mediterranean fishing village, with its colorful houses overlooking the small port, the narrow alleys that wind through the houses and the moored boats that gently sway to the rhythm of the waves.
The village is characterized by a pedestrian area, which makes it an ideal place to stroll and enjoy the relaxing atmosphere.
The heart of Sant'Angelo is the "piazzetta", a small open space where there are bars, restaurants and artisan shops.
Here, visitors can relax, enjoy a coffee or ice cream, admire the panorama and observe the life of the village. Sant'Angelo also offers a wonderful sandy beach, ideal for sunbathing and taking a dip in the crystal clear waters of the sea.
In the vicinity of the village, there are several spa facilities, where it is possible to enjoy the benefits of the thermal waters of Ischia, famous for their therapeutic properties.
Sant'Angelo has an ancient history, linked to fishing and navigation.
The village has preserved its maritime traditions over time, which can still be observed in the activities of the local fishermen and in the popular festivals that enliven the village during the summer.
Sant'Angelo d'Ischia is a magical place, where time seems to have stopped, a refuge of peace and authenticity in the heart of the Mediterranean.
An unmissable stop for those visiting Ischia and wishing to discover an authentic island.
