Where is St. Angelo?
This ancient fishermen village is located on the southern part of Ischia and characterised by the impressive peninsula La Torre, today a wildlife reserve, connected to the main island by a natural sand isthmus. St. Angelo has a very particular personality, unlike the rest of the island, which is much more lively but somehow also chaotic: here the rhythm of life is more relaxed, thanks also to the fact that the whole village is a pedestrian zone. It could not be otherwise, because of the morphology of the territory, where incredible stairway alleys and lanes intersect. Though it represents today a highly impressive tourist destination, St. Angelo still keeps its ancient characteristics (also from the landscape and architectonic point of view), when it was a simple fishermen village, whose small harbour, nowadays patronized by tourist boats, in the past was the safe port of fishing boats.
