Question

When should I book my flight?

Answer

We recommend booking flights as early as possible, ideally 6–9 months in advance, especially for international travel during summer. Prices and availability can change quickly, so the earlier, the better! If you’ve been saving up credit card points or airline miles, this is the moment to put them to good use! Many guests have had success booking with points through cards like Chase Sapphire, Amex Platinum, or Capital One Venture, especially if you’re flexible with your travel dates by a day or two. Pro tip: Set a flight alert on sites like Google Flights or Hopper, and try searching nearby airports (Florence, Rome, Milan) for the best deals.

Question

What airport should I fly into?

Answer

The closest airport is Florence (FLR), which is about 1.5 hours from the venue. You can also consider Rome (FCO) or Milan (MXP or LIN) both offer high-speed trains or rental car options to Florence. Check the Travel & Accommodations tab for more info!

Question

Do I need a passport or visa?

Answer

All U.S. citizens will need a valid passport to enter Italy. No visa is required for stays under 90 days. Be sure your passport is valid for at least 6 months beyond your travel dates.

Question

What's Provided in my room at the Villa?

Answer

Each room at Casa Cornacchi comes equipped with linens, towels, basic toiletries, a fridge, Wi-Fi, air conditioning, an iron, and an ironing board. There is also a hairdryer in every room, though they’re on the smaller side, so if you prefer something stronger, feel free to bring your own. Just a heads up: Dyson Airwraps and similar high-powered devices don’t work with European voltage, even with an adapter. And don’t forget, Italy uses different plug types, so be sure to pack a European adapter if you're bringing any personal electronics!

Question

Is there parking at the Villa?

Answer

Yes! There is ample parking available at Casa Cornacchi. Whether you're renting a car or arriving by shuttle, you'll have a convenient spot to park.

Question

Do I need to pay local tax?

Answer

Yes, Italy requires a small local tourism tax, which is typically €1–€2 per person, per night. This will be collected in cash at check-in or check-out, depending on the villa’s process. We’ll share exact details closer to the date, but it’s a good idea to have a few euros on hand just in case.

Question

Where are the nearest shops?

Answer

The nearest grocery stores are just a short drive away. You'll find small markets in Ambra, the closest village (about 10 minutes by car), and a larger Co-Op Supermarket in Bucine, roughly 15 minutes away. Just a heads up: many local shops in Italy close in the afternoon for riposo (the Italian siesta), usually for 90 minutes to 2 hours, so plan your shopping trips accordingly!

Question

What will the weather be like?

Answer

Late June in Tuscany is typically sunny, warm, and beautiful, with daytime highs around 80–90°F (27–32°C) and cooler evenings in the 60s°F (15–20°C). It’s the perfect mix for al fresco dinners, golden-hour photos, and poolside lounging. We recommend packing light layers, sun protection, and comfortable shoes for cobblestones and countryside paths.

Question

Are there taxi's in the area?

Answer

Taxis in the Tuscan countryside are limited and must be arranged in advance, and just a heads up, Uber does not operate in this area. If you’re not renting a car, don’t worry, we’re happy to help coordinate private transfers or local drivers for any off-site plans. Just let us know in advance, and we’ll make sure you're all set!
