Wonderful news for everyone who welcomes guests to this land: according to data from Italy’s Ministry of Tourism for March 2026, Molise is the number one region in Italy for traveller satisfaction. With a score of 89.97 out of 100 in the digital “Sentiment Index,” it overtook long-established destinations such as the Autonomous Province of Bolzano, Basilicata and Calabria.
For us at La collina degli ulivi, a holiday home just minutes from Isernia, it confirms what we read every day in the words of those who choose us: Molise has a quiet, unhurried way of making people fall in love with it.
What the Sentiment Index Is — and Why It Matters
The Sentiment Index measures visitors’ perception, satisfaction and online reputation by analysing reviews, social media and travel platforms. Put simply, it reflects how well people felt during their stay — and how warmly they talk about it once they get home.
And this is no one-off. Molise built its leadership step by step: 88.6 points in November 2025, 89.4 in February 2026, and finally 89.97 in March 2026. A slow, solid climb — much like the rhythm of these hills.
Why Travellers Love Molise
Behind the score lie real reasons, the very same ones that make a holiday in Molise so special:
- An authentic territory, far from mass tourism and crowded hotspots.
- Genuine hospitality, built on real connection and time devoted to each guest.
- Safety and calm, today among the most mentioned qualities in travellers’ reviews.
- Untouched landscapes: from olive groves to Lake Castel San Vincenzo, the Carpinone Waterfalls and the Adriatic coast.
