Travel Note

Hotel Baggage

We recommend contacting your hotel ahead of time to see if they will send someone to meet you when you arrive in order to carry your luggage to your hotel. Ravello is primarily a walking city and does not allow cars in the city square. To avoid carrying your baggage, many hotels offer complimentary or affordable options to meet you and carry your luggage for you. Both Hotel Giordano and Hotel Villa Maria offer complimentary porter service. Just indicate to Mario when booking or contact the hotel directly to arrange baggage pick up.

Flight

Rome Airport, FCO Fiumicino

Flying into Rome will likely be the most affordable option. There are many direct flights from the east coast to Rome. Below are the airports with direct flights to Rome: Atlanta Boston Charlotte Chicago Dallas Washington D.C. Dulles Los Angeles Miami New York City Newark Philadelphia Flights should be released in October for August 2023. Keep an eye out because prices change throughout the course of the year. We recommend using the "Hopper" app on your phone to watch the costs of flights and they recommend the best time to buy.

Flight

Naples International Airport (NAP)

Erin and Justin are flying into Naples on 7/28. Naples is the most convenient airport to get to Ravello, it is about 1 hour away. However, it will likely cost a little bit more than flying into Rome as the airport is smaller with fewer direct flights. Newark airport has a brand new direct flight to Naples. Otherwise, most of the international airports will have flights to Naples with layovers.

Train

Leonardo Express Airport Shuttle to Roma Termini Station

If you decide to fly into Rome, one way to get to Ravello is by train. But to get to the train station from the airport you need to take a shuttle. The Leonardo Express Airport Shuttle takes you to the Roma Termini Station in about 30-minutes. This is the main train station in Rome. You can purchase shuttle tickets at the station or in advance at the link below by clicking "View." The shuttle is approximately 14 euros and leaves the airport every half hour or every 15 minutes during peak hours (6:40am-11:40pm). Once you arrive at the Roma Termini Station, you will take a train to Naples. More information on the train to Naples and from Naples to Ravello is below.

Train

Roma Termini Station to Naples Centrale

Once you take the shuttle from the Rome airport to Roma Termini Station you will need to take a train to Naples. The train from Rome to Naples is a high-speed train traveling 140 miles in approximately 1 hour and 10 minutes. Prices range from $15-$77 (USD). Most of the train times leave Rome Termini Station two or three times per hour, averaging about 96 trains per day. The earliest train leaves the Rome Termini station at 5:31am and the last train to Naples leaves Rome Termini at 11:58pm. However, if it is a weekend, check the schedule because sometimes it varies. This is a comfortable and scenic way to get to Naples. The trains have air conditioning, restrooms, electrical outlets, and food carts/ cafe. Once you get to Naples we have options for how to get Ravello.

Positano Shuttle

Do you want to fly into Rome and see Positano or Praiano but skip the train and shuttle? This may be the option for you! You can book a shuttle bus that will take you from the Rome Ficumicino Airport to Positano or Praiano for 250.00 euros. The drivers will pick you up and the drive is about 4.5 hours. We highly recommend seeing Positano, it is an incredible place. See the link below for more information on the shuttle bus.

Travel Note

Naples to Ravello

Whether you chose to fly right into Naples or take the train to the Naples Centrale Train Station, you are on the last leg of your trip! You are only about an hour from Ravello, so bare with us! The best way to get from the Naples to Ravello is to arrange a private transfer. We have put together a listing of private transfer services that are highly recommended as per customer reviews on Trip Advisor. You can view each company's website and their information (i.e. address, phone number, reviews, etc.) by clicking on the "view" button under each company below!

Rental Car

My Day Trip

This is a great option if you are traveling with a group. We are using this as our car transfer from the airport and you can add stops. For instance, you can do a pick up at the Naples airport and a drop off at your hotel in Positano and then you can add on a stop at Pompeii or Mount Vesuvius on the way. It allows for flexible schedules and seems to be best priced for 4+ people.

Recommended Travel Agent

If you want to attend and make a trip out of it but don't like planning, we recommend the travel agent Jaime Buss. Jaime does everything travel related and is extremely knowledgeable (and has been doing it for over 20 years!). If you are interested in using her services we have linked her website which includes her contact information. Just mention to Jaime that you are friends/ family of Erin and Justin.

Travel Note

Rabbies Tours

If you want to see a lot of Europe but are overwhelmed with planning then we recommend looking into booking a small group tour with the company Rabbies. They have numerous trips leaving from Rome and Milan that travel all over Italy and even go to the Swiss Alps. Erin and Justin have done a 5-day tour around Ireland with Rabbies and had the best time. The company was more affordable than paying for transportation ourselves and they were easy to work with - making it the least stressful trip possible. We have not done one of their Italy tours but if it is anything like their Ireland tour then you will not be disappointed!

We hope you all choose what is the best for you and can't wait to hear all about your travels!
