We rented out Borgo Corsignano for private use; a charming Italian village near Poppi, Italy in the Tuscan valley. The Borgo includes multiple historic houses with fully equipped kitchens, two pools, tennis court, gym, sauna, on-site reception, laundry room with irons + steamers, hair dryers in every bathroom, on-site snack/wine bodega (bring Euros!), and beautiful views. Don't forget to pack a bathing suit! As transportation is extremely limited in the area, we have pre-booked all guests for 3 nights of the wedding weekend. The total price per person for 3 nights is 750 USD (1500 USD for couples) and we will handle all payment logistics on our end. We are covering a portion of the accommodation cost, a light breakfast each morning, activities, and dinner each night. Villa accommodations are on a first come first serve basis. Once fully occupied, accommodations will be available at the nearby hotel. Payment in full can be sent to us via Zelle, cash, or check by the RSVP date --November 16th, 2024.

Airport options: Florence (FLR): Florence airport is the closest airport to Borgo Corsignano, approximately a 60-minute drive. Flying to FLR will make for a longer travel day, but an easier trip once on the ground. This is also a great city to train into. Rome (FCO): Rome will most likely have the best options for flights and is located approximately 2-hour and 53-minutes south of Borgo Corsignano. There are plenty of options to train to Florence or hire an airport transfer directly to the venue. Pro tip - stay in Rome for 2 nights to have time to explore the area and catch up on jet lag. Milano (MXP): Milan airport is the furthest option, but will make for a pretty roadtrip if you plan to travel to Lake Como or, throughout Bologna, Modena, Portofino, and Lucca. Approximately a 4-hour and 25-minute drive.
