FAQs

Question

Travel Basics

Answer

What airport should I fly into? The closest airport is Florence Amerigo Vespucci (FLR). Because direct flights from the U.S. to Florence are limited, many guests find it easiest to fly into Rome (FCO) or Milan (MXP) and then take a high-speed train (about 1.5–2 hours) to Florence. How do I get to the hotel once I arrive? From FLR or the main Florence train station (Firenze Santa Maria Novella – SMN), taxis are the most reliable option. Maria Vittoria, our wedding coordinator, will help arrange shared transfers closer to the wedding if many guests are arriving at similar times. Will transportation be provided during the weekend? Yes! Shuttles will be provided on Saturday for the Vineyard Excursion and on Sunday for the Ceremony and Reception. All other events take place at Hotel Villa Olmi Firenze, which will serve as the central hub for the weekend. Please see the “Schedule” tab for exact pickup and return times.

Question

Accommodations

Answer

Where should I stay? Florence offers many wonderful options. Hotel Villa Olmi Firenze is the main hotel for family and wedding party, and we'd love if you would join us there for the weekend! Otherwise, we recommend Hotel Mulino di Firenze (same management company as the main hotel) or any accommodations in central Florence for easy access to sightseeing and shuttle transportation. Is there an accommodation RSVP or booking deadline? To assist with transportation planning, we kindly ask that anyone requesting rooms at Hotel Villa Olmi Firenze RSVP to hotel accommodations via the RSVP tab by March 1, 2026. What time is check in/out at Hotel Villa Olmi? Check in begins Friday at 2:00 pm, then join us by the pool for a pizza party! Check out by Sunday at 12:00 pm, Farewell Brunch is 10:00 am - 1:00 pm, and there will be a place to store luggage if you plan to stay past 12:00pm check out.

Question

Weather

Answer

What will the weather be like? Early June in Tuscany is typically beautiful and warm, with sunny afternoons and pleasant evenings. Average Temperatures in Florence (June): Daytime highs: 75–85°F (24–29°C) Evening lows: 60–65°F (15–18°C) Is there a rain plan? Yes. In the event of rain, all outdoor portions at Villa Corsini will move indoors under covered spaces. We recommend bringing a light layer or wrap for cooler nights, regardless of weather.

Question

Packing

Answer

What are some things to consider when packing for Italy? Passports: Don’t forget them! Airline Restrictions: European carriers monitor baggage size and weight carefully—review limitations when booking. Adapters & Voltage: Italy uses 230V and Type C/F plugs. Make sure your adapter converts both the physical plug and the voltage if needed. Travel Comforts: compression socks, neck pillow, eye mask, snacks, and a refillable water bottle can make the flight over more enjoyable. Sunscreen: travel size encouraged 😉

Question

We’re honored by the thought! If you prefer to send a gift, please ship to our New York address rather than bringing items overseas. Our Address: 480 Humboldt St. Apt 6A Brooklyn, NY 11211

Question

Other Logistics

Answer

Are kids invited? Kids are welcome to join us at the hotel and for most weekend events (pool party, winery, rehearsal, brunch). For the ceremony and reception, please leave your little ones at home unless they are specifically invited on your RSVP, so guests can fully enjoy an adult celebration. Accessibility note: Elevators are available in Hotel Villa Olmi. Walking up and down a small hill is required to attend the outside garden ceremony. All other events will mostly take place on the ground floor. Who should I contact if I need help? Before the wedding, feel free to reach out to us with questions. During wedding week, please use the coordinator contact (to be shared) for any logistical needs.
