Rental Car

Car Options

We use Kayak to help compare car prices - just search with your airport and arrival/departure dates. Car hire is essential if you are hoping to explore as our venue is a converted Monastery in the mountains, if you are interested in car share or are a nervous driver then we can see if we can pair you up with anyone. Check the fine print of your car hire and make sure you have excess insurance, we use a yearly policy with cover wise to save paying the hire companies extortionate cost. You also need your driving licence and a credit card in the drivers name in order to hire. Driving in Italy is quite different to the UK with narrow lanes and steep roads, however road rage is much less. Don't be alarmed if people are overtaking you, this is just normal in day to day driving in Italy and they don't think anything of it. As the venue is high in the mountains there is a steep cliff to drive up to reach the village - if possible avoid driving to the venue for the first time at night.

Train

Train Travel

There is a small local train station called Fosciandora-Ceserana. It takes just over 1 hour from Pisa and costs roughly £6. This is a great option if you are not planning on leaving the accommodation at all and do not want to hire a car. The station is at the bottom of the mountain, so bring your hiking boots! (We will be asking volunteers with cars to do the 5 minute shuttle runs)
