Travel and Flights to Italy

You will be responsible for booking your own travel and flights.

Participants from the United States will need to fly on May 12th in order to get to Italy on May 13th for the start of the retreat. Florence Airport (FLR) is the closest to our villa (1 hour & 15 minutes) and we will arrange a group airport pick-up at 11am on May 13th. Please make sure your flight arrives into Florence by 9:30am at the latest. This transfer to the villa is included in the retreat fee.

On May 20th, the last day of the retreat, there will be a transfer back to Florence in the morning. We can arrange it for you and the price is $40 (not included in retreat fee). Please make sure your flight departs at 11am or later. Again, once you are confirmed, we will discuss options. If you wish to be taken to a local train station (closest is Poggibonsi), we can also help you arrange it. Make sure your passport is up-to-date and will be valid through September 2016.

Feel free to come to Italy a few days before or stay a few days after the retreat. It is a beautiful country and worth exploring. Last year, many women enjoyed a day or two in Florence before the retreat, which is a great way to see the city and get over jet-lag. Some lucky women also went to Venice or Rome afterwards.
