Sant'Angelo is a small village within the comune of Serrara Fontana on the island of Ischia. It's built next to a giant rock with a small strip of beach that joins the two parts of the town. There are shops, restaurants and cafes that allow you to watch the boats in the small marina and to take in the views across the Tyrhennian Sea.

Close by to Sant'Angelo is Le Fumarole Beach - the beach is accessed from a path that leads from the centre of Sant'Angelo and winds its way around the hilltop giving fantastic views across to the nearby Maronti Beach and the island of Capri in the distance.

On the road down from the neighbouring hamlet, Succhivo you will pass Romantica Thermal Park which is also a four star hotel, followed by Tropical Thermal Park, the entrance of which is located next to the bus stop area. The third thermal park is Aphrodite Thermal Gardens which is located along the path from Sant'Angelo to Maronti Beach.
