How to get here

The best and cheapest way to get to Villa Gelsi is to fly with Ryanair from London Stansted to Ancona Falconara. Ryanair currently have daily scheduled flights which arrive at Ancona at about 13.00 local time. Ancona boasts a new terminal which is rarely crowded. The drive to Villa Gelsi is about 55 minutes.

Alternatively, Ryanair also flies to Rimini, and the drive from there to Villa Gelsi is in the region of 1 hour 10 minutes. Bologna Marconi airport is a convenient touchdown for both the mainstream scheduled flights and budget airlines Ryanair and easyJet, but the drive is about two to two and a half hours to Villa Gelsi by car.

Rome Flumicino airport (about three and a half hours drive by car) offers a wider choice of airlines.
