How to get there?
Answer
The nearest airport is Perugia/Assisi, however there are far more flights available to Rome and we'd recommend renting a car if you can, for ease.

Question
Where can I stay?
Answer
We have reserved a number of rooms from the 7-9 May, at the hotel Fonte Cesia in the historic center of Todi. This hotel is just a couple of minutes by foot from the Church, and in the heart of Todi, in case you want to explore! The rooms are reserved for booking until the end of DECEMBER 2026. To enquire about booking a room please email info@fontecesia.it with the code 'Wedding: Caroline and Luca". Private parking is available at the hotel, at a cost of 15 EUR per night - but you can also park at the cheaper Parcheggio Porta Orvietana (8 EUR per night) and take the free lift up to the historic center. For anyone driving and staying elsewhere in the centre of Todi - we would advise using this car park, as there are traffic restrictions in the historic center. There are various other hotels, BnBs and Air BnBs in Todi. We would advise staying in the historic center, so you are walking distance to the Church and the venue for the Welcome Aperitivo. Please let us know where you are staying once you have booked. We will arrange transport from the reception back to the centre of Todi.

Question
When is the RSVP deadline?
Answer
Please RSVP by the end of February 2027.
Question
What is the dress code?
Answer
Relaxed formal - we want everyone to feel comfortable and wear whatever they like, our only note is to please ensure knees and shoulders are covered inside the Church to avoid any issues on the day, as this is generally required in Catholic ceremonies. Weather wise we are hoping for a warm and sunny day, but note that rain is always possible in May. It could get chilly when the sun goes down, so we recommend packing a shall/jacket.

Question
Tourism
Answer
Umbria is famous for wild boar ragu and for truffles. The latter may feature on the wedding menu ;) but we would recommend trying these if you're eating out locally! Places we would recommend to visit for those planning an Umbrian holiday - Lake Trasimeno, Cascata delle Marmore, Orvieto, Assisi and Perugia (plus of course Todi!!).
Question
Wedding gifts?
Answer
We are SO grateful that you are travelling to celebrate with us. That is already a significant gift and truly the only gift we need (although we would love your words of wisdom in a card we can treasure)! However, we know that some people might still like to send a gift, in which case we'd be really grateful if you would send it to our address in the UK a couple of weeks before or after the wedding, as we're planning to head directly to our honeymoon following the wedding.
