Reaching florence By air

You can fly directly into Florence's Amerigo Vespucci airport. Flights to Bologna, Pisa, and Rome may be less expensive, and you can easily reach Florence by car or train. Please make sure that you check all visa requirements if traveling on a non-US passport. And for the US, please ensure that your passport is valid for at least 6 months after your travel dates.

reaching florence by Train

Florence's Santa Maria Novella train station is just a short walk from the hotels. 

 
 

We have reserved blocks of rooms at three hotels in the center of Florence. Reference the Susan Schwarz-Luis Vera wedding when you book to get the group discount. You may also wish to consult Airbnb for additional options. 

On the day of the wedding, shuttles will be leaving from Piazzale Montelungo (exit rail 16 of the train station) at 4:30PM to take you to the villa. Shuttles will return from the villa to Piazzale Montelungo at 12:00AM, 1:00AM, and 2:00AM. A steward will be available to call you a taxi from 10:30PM onward. Piazzale Montelungo is centrally located and easily reachable by taxi from Hotel Benvenuti (2.8 km) and on foot from the other 3 hotels where we have reserved rooms.

"What is the fatal charm of Italy? What do we find there that can be found nowhere else? I believe it is a certain permission to be human, which other places, other countries, lost long ago." - Erica Jong
