Welcome to Tuscany, Italy!
Where the air is fresh, the wine is crisp, and the love is abundant...
The wedding weekend starts on Friday, May 29 through Monday June 1
If you are traveling to Europe right before the wedding weekend, we STRONGLY recommend arriving in Italy on Thursday morning (departure on Wednesday from the USA) to give yourself one day to beat jet lag, settle into the Italian lifestyle, and avoid any delays. There is a time difference of 6 hours ahead.
Another great option is to fly into Rome and explore the city before heading to Florence. The high speed train is amazing! There are many direct flights from USA to Rome.
Recommended airports to fly into:
FLORENCE, ITALY (FLR)
Florence (FLR) Airport is the closest to the venue at about a 1 hour drive.
ROME, ITALY (FCO)
Rome, Italy (FCO) is about a 3.5 hour drive or about 1.5 hour high speed train ride, if you wanted to travel up the coast of Italy prior to the wedding weekend. There are direct flights into Rome from the US, so this may be an good option if that is your preference!
* Friendly reminder to check your passport expiration date. Six months validity recommended, at least 3 months validity beyond your planned date of departure per Italy’s guidelines.
Recommended accommodations:
There are various accommodations close to Le Filigare! Some of the bride and groom’s closest family and friends are staying at the Villa but accommodations nearby will allow for a relaxing weekend. We recommend booking accommodations 4-6 months before the wedding weekend.

Renting a car in Italy isn’t as scary as it seems! Italians drive fast, but efficient. You will need an Italian license, a International Driving Permit (IDP), that can be obtained at any AAA office. You will need to carry your regular US license with you in addition to the International Driving Permit (IDP). The cost of this is around $20 and it is valid for 1 year.
