Casetta Fico d\u2019India clings to the hill above Sant\u2019Angelo, the little village on a rocky peninsula at Ischia\u2019s southern tip where cars are not allowed. A footpath winds down to the harbour in ten minutes; coming back up you earn your evening glass of wine. The cottages sit among prickly pears, fig trees and rosemary, and are named after the cacti that fill the terraces.<\/p>\n
The Casetta is a one-bedroom stone cottage for two or three, with a vaulted ceiling, a kitchenette and a terrace that looks across the bay to the Maronti beach. Casa Fichi, next door, has two bedrooms, a larger kitchen and a covered terrace with a long table. Both are cool in summer and warm in winter, with thick walls and a wood stove.<\/p>\n
Sant\u2019Angelo has a handful of fish restaurants, a tiny beach, a thermal spring that heats the water on the south side of the isthmus, and boats that go to the Maronti beach and to Ischia Porto. The famous Cavascura hot springs and Fumarole beach are a short walk along the coast.<\/p>\n
Because the lane is steep, we recommend light luggage; a local porter will carry bags from the car park at the top. Dogs are welcome. Breakfast is not served, but the bakery at the foot of the hill opens at seven.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
