Travel Note
Why Puglia?
We travel to Italy every year to explore different regions, and Puglia has a special place in our hearts. Not only is it the place of Anthony's family origin, but it's a region of rich culture, delicious food, endless coastlines with beautiful beaches, and vibrant towns. We appreciate that this may be a far destination for most, but we can't wait to celebrate our special day with you!
Flight
Closest Airports
Brindisi is the closest airport to the venue. Bari is a bit further but is another option for those planning on driving through Puglia's coastline. It is highly recommended to fly directly into a major international airport (Rome or Milan) and enjoy a few days before the wedding. Brindisi and Bari are small airports with limited flights - this will be a long travel day, especially for those coming from California! From Rome or Milan you can take a short flight to Brindisi/Bari. You can also take a train, but this will be a longer journey.
Travel Note
Hotels
We recommend staying in Lecce as it is a charming town with plenty of bars and restaurants. Lecce is a 30 minute drive to Castello Monaci and central to neighboring cities (Gallipoli/Otranto/Ostuni/etc). If you prefer to stay near a beach, Porto Cesareo is 20 minutes away from the venue. We have a discount code at Le Dune Suite Hotel for stays between October 17th -19th. https://ledunesuitehotel.it SPECIAL CODE: DUNEWED24 (all capital letters) Lecce Hotel Recommendations - Patria Palace Hotel - https://www.patriapalace.com/ Address: Piazzetta Gabriele Riccardi, 13, 73100 Lecce LE - Risorgimento Resort - https://www.risorgimentoresort.it/ Address: Via Augusto Imperatore, 19, 73100 Lecce LE - Hilton Garden Inn Lecce - https://hiltongardeninn3.hilton.com/ Address: Via Cosimo de Giorgi, 62, 73100 Lecce LE - 8 Più Hotel - https://www.8piuhotel.com Address: Viale del Risorgimento, 73100 Lecce LE - La Fiermontina Urban Resort - https://www.lafiermontina.com/hotel/ Address: Piazzetta De Summa Scipione, 4, 73100 Lecce LE

Question
Will transportation be provided?
Answer
Yes! Transportation will be provided to and from Porta Napoli, which is located in the city center of Lecce. This is walking distance (even after a couple of drinks :P ) to most hotels. For those who are staying in Lecce and using our transportation, please meet at Porta Napoli at 2:00pm. The shuttle will leave Porta Napoli at 2:15pm. If you plan on using your own transportation, please arrive at Castello Monaci around 3:00pm for welcome drinks. The ceremony will begin promptly at 4:00pm. For transportation going back to Lecce, there will be a shuttle going back and forth to Porta Napoli starting at 10:30pm. The last shuttle will be at 1:30am, we really hope you stay for the after party!! If you have any questions, you can call or text on What’s App: Maid of Honor: Nicole Mancini, +1 347-245-4745 Driver: Antonio: +39 347 075 2081 Please note that Castello Monaci is located deep in the countryside. If you are not staying in Lecce and will not be using our shuttle service, you will need to drive to the venue or order a taxi/car service in advance. Uber is not available in Puglia.
Question
What is Puglia like in October?
Answer
October is a fantastic time to visit Puglia! Avoiding peak summer tourism and heat, yet warm enough to go for a swim in the sea at the gorgeous Apulian beaches. It will also be wine season!!
Question
Best way to get around Puglia?
Answer
We highly recommend renting a car. There are so many beautiful towns and beaches along the coastlines to visit. Please note that uber/lyft are not available.
Question
Do you have a registry?
Answer
We honestly do not need anything - we just want to PARTY with you!! Please note we will be traveling quite a bit and will not be able to carry around large gifts.
