Getting Here

Travel

the road to Allerona

Umbria is a comfortable drive from Rome and reachable from Florence. Here is what we recommend.

Flights

Rome Fiumicino (FCO) is our recommended airport — the widest choice of long-haul flights and roughly a 1.5–2 hour drive to the hamlet.

Florence (FLR) also works well and is a similar drive, especially if you are continuing north afterwards.

From the airport

Private transfer — the easiest option, especially after a long flight. We'll share a list of drivers closer to the date, and we'll help match guests arriving at similar times.
Rental car — lovely if you want to explore the hill towns on your own schedule. Roads are good; parking is available on-site.
Train to Orvieto — direct trains run from Rome Termini, followed by a short taxi (about 20–25 minutes) to Allerona. Book taxis ahead where you can.

When to arrive

We suggest arriving Sunday, June 11 or Monday, June 12. Sunday gives you a night to shake off the jet lag before the welcome dinner; Monday arrivals should aim to land in the morning.

Departures are easiest on Friday, June 16.

A short drive from the hamlet: one bar, a handful of lanes, geraniums on every windowsill and a view that runs to the horizon.

Before you go

Passports — valid for at least six months beyond your travel dates. Check whether your nationality needs an ETIAS authorisation for Italy by 2028.
Insurance — we recommend travel insurance that covers trip interruption and medical care abroad.
Packing — warm days and cool evenings; a light layer for outdoor dinners, comfortable shoes for stone paths and gravel, swimwear for the pool, and a sun hat.
Connectivity — an eSIM or an international plan is the simplest choice. There is Wi-Fi at the property, though signal can be patient in the countryside.
Plugs & money — Italy uses Type F/L sockets at 230V, and the euro. Cards are widely accepted; carry a little cash for small village shops.
