Please do yourself a big favour: print off this document and bring it with you. 90% of those who get lost forgot bring it with them. This page is a summary of those instructions, plus more info, such as travel directions from all the major Italian airports.

How to get to Italy

By air - from your local airport you should be able to fly directly to Pisa or Florence. Pisa is usually better for the low-cost carriers, though Meridiana and BA have recently dropped their prices to Florence. We are conveniently situated within a short travelling distance of both these airports; the drive will take you around 1 1/4 hours from Pisa, 45 mins from Florence. If you are flying to another airport, directions on how to reach us are listed below. We would advise you to collect a car at the airport, though it is generally cheaper to arrange car hire online in advance.
