My family travels from Canada to Italy for a few weeks every summer and each year we always try new places to visit. Italy is such a diverse country so it's never difficult to find exciting new experiences.

Well I can honestly say that Sant"Angelo was one of the most magical places I have ever visited in Italy. The pedestrian only streets really added to the tranquility of the village when compared to other towns on the island. Upon arrival at the port, our born and raised in Ischia taxi driver informed us that Sant"Angelo was the best place to stay on the island.

The apartment was perfect for my wife and our two young children. Fully outfitted with every amenity. Located just steps away from the best mini mercato in town. A pleasant 4 minute downhill stroll and you find yourself either at the beach clubs, the water taxi stand and the towns central piazza. The views from both patios were postcard material at all hours of the day and the happenings in the little port are always entertaining. A wide selection of wonderful restaurants are all within a 5 minute walk of the apartment.

Christoph the owner is incredibly attentive and stayed in contact with us both before and upon our arrival to ensure that all was well (plus he speaks and writes perfect English). My texts to him about the location of garbage disposal and the Wifi password were answered almost immediately.

This apartment and the town of Sant'Angelo are the epitome of the La Dolce Vita. The town is full of Italian tourists so English is rarely spoken but present if needed.

Do yourself a favor and skip the overrated islands of Capri and Ponza and instead head to the real heartbeat of Italian island life; Sant'Angelo before it is discovered by other international tourists.

And lastly to the owner Christoph. Please let me know if you ever decide to sell the apartment as I'd happily purchase it from you as my experience was simply that memorable.

Molto grazie mille.
