Where to Stay for the Tremiti Islands

The Tremiti Islands are one of the Adriatic’s best kept secrets, and from Villa Angiolina you can actually see them out to sea. The morning ferry leaves from Termoli, just 15 minutes away, which makes our quiet hilltop the ideal base for the trip.

The islands you can see from your room

Villa Angiolina stands on a hilltop around 350 metres above the Adriatic, with a full 360 degree panorama. Look east and, on a clear day, the Tremiti Islands sit on the horizon. They are a small archipelago of pristine blue water, sea caves and unspoiled beaches, and they remain far less crowded than the better known islands further north and south.

Getting there: a genuine day trip

The fast boat to the Tremiti Islands leaves from the port of Termoli, about a 15 minute drive from the villa. In season it departs each morning and returns in the late afternoon, so you can spend the whole day on the water and be back for a quiet evening in the countryside. Leave the car in Termoli, hop on the ferry, and you are on the islands in under an hour.

Why guests base themselves here: rooms on the islands are scarce and expensive in summer. From Villa Angiolina you get a pool, a garden, free parking and a 360 degree view, with the ferry still only 15 minutes away. You are never choosing between the islands and everything else Molise has to offer.

What to do on the islands

The main island, San Domino, is the one most day trippers head for: pine woods, swimming coves and some of the clearest water on the Adriatic. Boats circle the islands so you can see the sea caves and the dramatic coastline. When you are hungry, a few excellent little restaurants serve the catch of the day, which here is as fresh as it gets.

Make it more than one day

Most guests fold the Tremiti Islands into a longer stay. The port town of Termoli has a beautiful walled old town and long sandy beaches, and the villa is also perfectly placed as a stopover on the drive to Puglia and the Gargano. Add the food and wine of Molise, and a two or three night stay fills itself easily.

Frequently asked questions

How do you get to the Tremiti Islands from Villa Angiolina?

The fast ferry to the Tremiti Islands leaves from the port of Termoli, about a 15 minute drive from Villa Angiolina. Boats depart each morning in season and return in the late afternoon, so the islands work perfectly as a relaxed day trip. You leave the car in Termoli and come back to the quiet of the countryside in the evening.

Can you see the Tremiti Islands from the property?

Yes. Villa Angiolina sits on a hilltop about 350 metres up with a 360 degree view, and on a clear day you can see the Tremiti Islands out on the Adriatic to the east. It is one of the reasons guests choose to stay here rather than in town.

Is it better to stay on the Tremiti Islands or on the mainland?

Accommodation on the islands themselves is limited and books up fast in summer. Staying on the mainland near Termoli gives you more space, a pool, parking and better value, while still keeping the morning ferry only 15 minutes away. It also lets you combine the islands with Termoli, the beaches and the food of Molise and northern Puglia.

How long do you need for the Tremiti Islands?

A single day is enough to see the main island of San Domino, swim in the clear blue water and eat the catch of the day. Many guests do the islands as one day of a longer stay that also takes in Termoli old town, the beaches and a day trip toward the Gargano.
