Flight

Traveling from Rome (FCO ✈️)Traveling from Rome (FCO ✈️)

🚗 Rental Car (~2.5 hrs) Plenty of options near FCO, we recommend CentAuro; and get full coverage. Tuscan roads are narrow, winding, and Italian drivers love to race. 🚐 Organized Van Transfer We are arranging private 8-person vans through our wedding coordinator. Please fill out our Google Form (https://forms.gle/b7nZznZ4jKKtD3es6) with your flight details if you are interested; deadline is June 30th (note: you can fill it out now and edit your answers later if your flights/travel plans are not confirmed yet). The latest we can schedule a van is 2:00 PM, so please plan to land by 12:00 PM to allow time for baggage, customs, and finding the van. 🚅 Train Train service to Castiglione del Lago is available from Roma Termini station, but onward transport to the villa by taxi or private car is unreliable.
