Everything you need to know for our wedding in Italy!
Which airport is closest to the villa?
We recommend flying into Rome Fiumicino Airport (FCO). The villa is located approximately 40 miles from the airport.
How can I get from the airport to the villa?
You can arrive to the villa via car or train. Trains are very common in Europe. There is a train station located very close to the villa, however, please note that the train journey takes approximately 2 hours. When searching for trains, enter your departure station and select "Manziana–Canale Monterano" as your destination. We recommend booking train tickets about 6 weeks in advance.
Alternatively, you can book a private car service or Uber from the airport to the villa. By car, the drive is approximately 50 minutes, depending on traffic.
Some reputable private car services in Rome include:
"Rome Limo Transfer", "Rome City Transfers", "Rome Airport Transportation".
We strongly encourage securing private transportation in advance to ensure availability.

Do I need to book a room to stay at the villa?
No, there is no need to book a room at the villa. Your stay for the nights of October 4th and 5th will be fully covered by us—just arrive and celebrate!
Rooms and apartments will be assigned after RSVPs are received and the final guest count is confirmed. Please note that accommodations may include shared rooms or apartments with close friends or family, and some guests may be placed in nearby apartments within walking distance of the villa.
