You can take a walking tour of the area, and we recommend visiting “Villa San Michele”, built by the physician and writer Axel Munthe, where once there was an old chapel dedicated to San Michele. During the excavations, the ruins of the Augustan period, finely decorated, proving the existence of a sumptuous Roman residence, were brought to light. Today the villa is a majestic building, surrounded by a large and lovely garden. If you prefer, you can take the chair lift and reach Monte Solaro, 589 metres above sea level, to admire stunning views of the entire island, the front side of Mount Vesuvius, the Gulf of Naples and the Sorrento peninsula.

Despite its ultra-chic appeal, Sant'Angelo has kept the simple flavour of a seaside village intact, with its ancient colourful houses, cobbled streets, beach and delightful harbour. A maze of alleys joins together in a unique square, the beating heart of the life of the village. Bars, restaurants, exclusive boutiques, jewellers and vintage and modern antiques shops alternate with charming houses, flowered balconies and panoramic corners.

Still a fairly undiscovered Italian island, here you can enjoy a slow holiday filled with the best local seafood, stunning landscapes, and charming seafront hotels.
A one-hour ferry from Naples drops travellers at Ischia Porto, a bustling seafront town with plenty of shopping opportunities - try some of Ischia’s famed limoncello to get a true taste of this vibrant island. This tiny volcanic island is truly compact - just a 30-minute drive from north to south - meaning it’s possible to experience every part of it during your stay. Enjoy a delicious Ischian meal on the seafront in Sant’Angelo, walk to the picturesque Castello Aragonese, which juts out into the Mediterranean Sea, or bathe in warm thermal waters in Negombo Thermal Park: Ischia has it all!
Capri
The magnificent Isle of Capri emerges from the Tyrrhenian Sea, facing the Sorrento peninsula. It became famous in 1826, following the discovery of the Grotta Azzurra (Azure Cave). Capri is adored by travellers, stars and intellectuals alike, popular with tourists because of its beautifully manicured gardens, impossibly blue sea, and bougainvillea dripping over the sides of elegant villas at every turn.
The Roman emperor Tiberius, who self-exiled on the island was one of the first to remain charmed by it: the magnificent villa Jovis, also known as "palazzo di Tiberio" (Tiberius' palace), a 45-minute walk from the small church of St. Michael, belonged to him.
