Question
Can I use my American hair tools (curling iron, straightener, etc) in Italy?
Answer
Most American hair tools will not work properly in Italy without the right converter. Italy uses 220V electricity (compared to 110V in the U.S.), so if your curling iron or straightener isn’t dual voltage, it could short out or stop working. Check your tool’s label — if it says “110–240V,” you’re good to go with just a plug adapter. If it only says “110V,” you’ll need a voltage converter or adapter (CHECK AMAZON) , or it’s best to leave it at home.

Question
How do we check in and get our rooms?
Answer
Everyone has been assigned a room prior to arrival. Once you check in the front desk will give you keys to your room. You will NOT be paying for the rooms, so if they ask for a card it is only for incidentals.
Question
Are we close to major cities?
Answer
The closest major city will be Verona. We will be in a very small town at the foothill of the mountains. Please come with arrangements for travel with that in mind. The villa has a massive parking area if anyone decides to rent a car and drive.
Question
Whats the best way to get around?
Answer
The villa is pretty secluded from bigger cities around the Veneto region. We suggest either renting a car (which will require an international permit that you can get at AAA), or hiring a driver. The front desk will be able to arrange taxis and shuttles, but expect to wait up to 20 to 30 minutes.
Question
If I rent a car is it easy to drive in Italy?
Answer
Overall, yes it is pretty easy to drive in Italy. BUT there are lots of tolls, that can be confusing. IF you are renting a car, please ask the rental place for a transponder. If you do not get a transponder then make sure you are getting in the toll lanes that allows you to get a ticket, you will need this ticket for the toll station after the initial toll.
