Città Sant'Angelo is a hill town in the Pescara area of Abruzzo, 18 km from Pescara, where nearly every home has a private pool. It suits pool holidays with days at the Adriatic. The sea is a drive away, not a walk.
Città Sant'Angelo sits on a hill at a little over 300 metres in the province of Pescara, within the Pescara metropolitan area. Its Collegiata church has a 48 metre bell tower, and the town belongs to the Borghi più belli d'Italia association. The municipality reaches the Adriatic at Marina di Città Sant'Angelo, a separate district that grew up by the sea and offers tourist services in summer. The homes are grouped close to the town, and nearly all have a private pool. Most are small, for around four people, and many have a garden. Expect a pool holiday in the hills with trips to the coast.
The municipality's own stretch of Adriatic coast, a district by the sea between Montesilvano Marina to the north and Silvi Marina to the south.
The most populated city in Abruzzo, 18 km from the town, with a low sandy coast and rail links to Rome.
Pescara airport is the practical choice, about 4 km from the centre of Pescara, with Ryanair flights from London Stansted. Hire a car: the town is on a hill 18 km from Pescara, and its coast is a separate district.
Città Sant'Angelo's own coast is Marina di Città Sant'Angelo, on the Adriatic, a separate district from the hill town. Pescara, 18 km away, has a sandy beach running unbroken on both sides of its river.
Yes, nearly all of them. Most are small homes for around four people and many have a garden. That makes the town a pool-first base rather than a beach-first one.
The Collegiata church with its 48 metre bell tower, the churches of St Francis, St Clare and St Bernard, the Teatro Comunale, the Cisternone and a contemporary art museum in a former tobacco factory.
Pescara airport, about 4 km from the centre of Pescara. Ryanair flies there from London Stansted, and Pescara is 18 km from the town, so you will want a hire car for the rest.
