Do you have any hotel recommendations?

Answer

Feel free to browse here: https://www.luccaapartmentsandvillas.co.uk/ We'd be happy to help book any accommodations to avoid foreign transaction fees and to just simplify your travel.

We recommend these - Amore Farmhouse, Nonna Bianca Farmhouse, Casa Lucky, Casa Poggi, Villa D'Amico, Casa La Guardia, Casa Emy, and Casa Eda. Otherwise, check on Expedia and Airbnb for other options. As for the Hotels we recommend, here are some: Palazzo Dipinto, The Tuscanian Hotel, Hotel IIaria and Bagni di Pisa Palace & Thermal Spa. Please contact me if you end up wanting to reserve one of these!

Question

I know Rebeca is the best travel agent. Can you help us book flights , hotels , and / or cars?

Answer

Of course! Please reach out to Rebeca directly for assistance. She will be happy to help leading up to the wedding. Respectfully, no travel requests after August. If you are in the DMV area and would like to fly out on October 6th, please let us know as we currently have a group flight booked with some extra spots open.

Question

I plan to book my own travel. What's the best airport to fly in and out of?

Answer

The two airports that are closest are Pisa (PSA) and Florence (FLR). Pisa is approximately a 20-30 minute drive and Florence is a 1 HR + drive. Picking what airport to fly into/out of all depends on your plans and if you would like to arrive before or stay after the wedding to further explore Italy.

Question

Should I look into Travel Insurance?

Answer

Of course! It's better to be safe than sorry. We highly recommend it with booking travel this far in advance. While we've never had to use our travel insurance, it's best to protect your travel investment. Once you have your travel dates booked and confirmed, let Rebeca help you book a plan with our preferred insurance, Allianz Partners.

Question

How should I get to the Villa? Will there be transportation provided? Can I rent my own car?

Answer

There will be transportation provided to and from the Villa. We are still working on this and plan to provide a larger passenger vehicle to pick up groups from the Pisa and Florence Airports and drop off at the Villas. Once transportation is finalized we will provide the pick up times. Please plan your arrival time around this to ensure you can catch a complimentary ride if needed. You are also free to rent a car if your timeline does not fit ours and especially if you plan to do some exploring of your own! We highly recommend exploring this beautiful country, it has so much to offer!

What will the temperature be like around the wedding weekend?

Answer

Highs of 70 F and lows of 50 F. It will be perfect in the middle of the day and a little chilly in the mornings and evenings. Please remember to pack a jacket/some warmer clothes for the crisp mornings/evenings. P.S. Bring a bathing suit!

Question

Do I need to spend every second at the Villa? Or can I go out and explore?

Answer

Please refer to the "Schedule" for events we would like for you to attend. We would be offended if you spent every second at the Villa since you'd be missing out on the local culture of Italy! There are plenty of things to do that are within driving distance of the Villas in Lucca. Please refer to the "Things to Do" tab for suggestions!
