No! They have pushed out the date of needing this visa.
You should stay at the Urban Hive Milano. Guests can get a discounted rate via their "Hivers" discount and spend the night in Milan before heading on the shuttle bus at 9am the next morning. P.S. This will be the same hotel that Brian will be staying in so he can coordinate the hotel shuttle the next morning.
If you end up renting a car, you MUST park at Villa Cariola. The ceremony site does not allow for any parking so if you are late then you will miss the ceremony. The shuttle will be downstairs at Villa Cariola at 2:45PM. Please plan to arrive 15-20 minutes BEFORE the shuttle departs for the ceremony. There will be a fun wedding vendor you can interact with while you wait for the shuttle.
We are fully planning (and hoping) for favorable weather and an outdoor wedding ceremony. In the event of inclement weather, we will plan to move indoors. Please note for our outdoor wedding, there will be a grass lawn and a rock garden so please be mindful of shoes.
The average high in Lake Garda is 71ºF in May. This drops to a cool 50ºF at night so you should bring some warmer clothes for the evenings. Humidity’s low, while there’s an average of 3.5in of rain over 13 days. You can expect 15 hours of daylight with seven hours of sunshine each day. UV levels will be high so remember to use plenty of sunscreen! Sunrise is 6:00 am and sunset is 8:30 pm in early May.
The "best way" is subjective. There are a few core options to get to Lake Garda. 1. Fly into Milan (likely Malpensa, MXP or LIN) Airport, followed by a 2-hour drive. By public transit, it is a 2.5 - 3-hour trip from Milan. Depending on where you are traveling from, this may be the option with the least layovers/shortest travel time total. 2. Fly into Verona Airport, followed by a 30-minute drive to Villa Cariola on the west side of Lake Garda. Depending on where you are traveling from, this may be the option that gets you closest to the final destination, but with more layovers. IF you are traveling from within Europe already, this may be a great option! As mentioned on the "Schedule" tab, we will be coordinating a complimentary shuttle from Urban Hive Milano Hotel to Villa Cariola on Monday, May 5 at 9:00 am local time to bring guests to Villa Cariola where they can drop their luggage before check-in and attend our pre-wedding events!
