FAQs

Question

How Much Will Flights Cost?

Answer

Question

What City Should We Fly To?

Answer

The closest major city with an airport is Florence. It's about an hour from the venue.

Question

Should I Get A Rental Car?

Answer

The Venue recommends it, and so do we! The venue is about an hour's drive from Florence. While you can get to Gargonza by train and taxi, getting a taxi from the venue can be challenging. You will also be limited in exploring the neighboring towns around Gargonza. If you are flying in with friends or family, we recommend renting a van or getting a shuttle service together. Check out the Travel Page for more details!

Question

Do I need a special license to drive in Italy?

Answer

Yes, you need an International Drivers Permit to rent a car and drive in Italy. The website we went through for ours is https://internationaldrivingauthority.com. It took less than 5 minutes, and we got it in the mail within a couple of weeks! You can also go through your local AAA.

Question

Is Everyone Staying On The Venue?

Answer

Yup! Our favorite part about Castello Di Gargonza is that the entire villa will be reserved by our wedding guests for the whole weekend.

Question

Where do I book my room?

Answer

Your room will be automatically reserved when you RSVP, and we will send out a payment form once we have exact attendees.

Question

Can I Stay Longer?

Answer

While we rented the villa for the weekend, Castello Di Gargonza told us that our guests could book a longer stay. When you complete the payment form, you can request the dates you want to stay. We plan to stay from Tuesday, August 26th, through our wedding weekend. We would love to spend extra time with you before the wedding!

Question

How hard is it to drive in Italy?

Answer

Driving from the Florence airport to Castello Di Gargonza is extremely easy. We also drove in Florence and Arezzo, and it was a bit more complex, so if you are anxious about driving, we recommend avoiding the big cities!
