Question

What airport should I fly into for the wedding?

Answer

Most guests will start their journey with an international flight from the U.S. to Italy. There are two main gateway airports that make getting to Borgo di Colleoli simple: 1. Pisa International Airport (PSA) You’ll find direct flights into Rome (FCO) or Milan (MXP) from the U.S., and then a connecting European flight to Pisa. Pisa is only about 30 minutes by car from Borgo di Colleoli. 2. Florence Airport (FLR) Another convenient option, slightly further than Pisa. Often available with one stop from the U.S. or after arriving in Rome/Milan and connecting onward. From Florence it’s around 45–60 minutes by car to the venue. **Depending on guest arrivals, we may be able to organize group transfers, more information to follow**
