Travel

There is a 6 hour time difference Boston to Florence with most flights traveling overnight. You may want to arrive a day or two early to adjust and get settled. Flights are generally cheapest when traveling on Tuesday or Wednesday. The Wedding Reception: A few miles outside of Borgo San Lorenzo at Villa Di Striano, 45 minutes north of the Florence airport. A rental car is recommended for touring the countryside before and after the wedding however taking the Train from Florence to Borgo San Lorenzo is doable.

Flight

Florence airport

Florence airport though closest is a small regional airport with no direct international flights. (Much like Barnstable airport, you'll need to make a connection to get there or else land in Rome or Milan and either rent a car or take a train. Trains are great if you are only visiting cities but if you want to tour countryside, you may want to rent a car.

Rental Car

Driving

Cars: They drive on the right side of the road and Google Maps makes it easy to navigate. In the cities can be nerve racking but the highways are modern and easily navigable. Make a reservation in advance and pick up your car at the airport wherever you land including Florence. (Bundling with your flight may be easiest and cheapest).

Train

Trains - Florence (Firenze) to Borgo San Lorenzo

Trains are inexpensive and reliable in Italy. Use them from city to city. There are regular Trains from Florence, Rome & Milan to Borgo San Lorenzo. Of course you'll need to taxi/Uber from Airport to Train and Train to Hotel; each about $25 per ride.

Travel Note

Villa di Striano (Wedding Venue)

Driving from your hotel to the venue is not difficult (only a few miles away) but we will be supplying a shuttle to avoid getting lost in the dark countryside on Saturday night. Villa di Striano is the site of both the Wedding and a Sunday Brunch the following day.
