Fly to Pisa ( Easyjet have the best deals & most accesible schedules .... but Ryanair also fly to Pisa)

Bus to Florence ( 1 hour) & connecting bus to Strada in Casentino (1.5 hours) Buses all connect @ SITA bus station opposite train station in Florence

For information on hire cars try TravelJigsaw .... pick up from either Florence or Arezzo

Closest airports are Florence or Pisa but Rome or Milan are also accessible. If you are trying to find Strada in Casentino on a map or with Google maps it is often listed as Castel San Niccolo.

DRIVING from FLORENCE... Drive east (upstream) along the banks of the Arno towards Pontassieve, continue through & follow signs to Consuma. After the Passo del Consuma follow signs for Poppi or Bibbiena until you find signs for Strada in Casentino.

From ROME... take the A1 autostrada for Florence (Firenze) and follow exit signs for Arezzo. Don't go into Arezzo but head north & follow signs for Bibbiena & Poppi continue through Poppi & you will pick up signs for Strada in Casentino.

BY BUS FROM FLORENCE... The Sita bus station is directly across the road from the main railway station (Santa Maria Novella or S.M.N.) The bus to Bibbiena leaves from bay 6 and stops in the main square of Strada in Casentino. Buses run approximately every hour & a half from 6am - 6.20pm.

GETTING TO THE HOUSE... I suggest you download a map from Google maps of the town centre. Look for Castel San Niccolo Arezzo
The River Solano runs parallel to the 3 squares in Strada. The bridge across is accessed on foot from steps beside the hardware store (Ferramenta "Tutto di Tito" ).
Driving you will arrive on either Via Potente or Viale Italia depending on which way you come into town. You access the road to cross the bridge from Piazza Vittorio Veneto. Drive through the gap between the houses on the far right hand corner which will take you to Via Solano which runs behind the houses & shops & parallel to the river. You can drive across the bridge and park your car here, as the rest of the journey is pedestrian access only. Turn immediately left through the group of houses (remembering to say "Buongiorno" to your new neighbours). There is a short rather steep climb to a grassed path, veer to the left & you are at the gates of the property.
