Where to fly into
Those attending will have a few different options to fly into, please note a rental car or transportation will be needed to get to the location of Villa Centinale and or your Hotel/Airbnb
Florence (FLR) Airport which is 34 Miles away from Siena
Rome (FCO) Airport which is 116 miles away from Siena
Pisa Gal Galilei (PSA) which is 53 miles away
Rimini Miramare (RMI) which is 80 miles away
No matter which airport you have chosen, it is required to obtain a rental car as there is no transport services within Siena that will accomodate the ride to the venue.
The Villa
Str. di Cetinale, 9, 53018 Sovicille SI, Italy
Where it all takes place! This beautiful Villa was The One as soon as we laid eyes on it. Dubbed "The most beautiful Villa in Tuscany" by Architectural Digest, Villa Cetinale is an architectural marvel with a world famous garden, its own chapel, hermitage, and holy wood. The park contains seven votive chapels, sixteen full length statues and 29 busts, as well as many stone animals and monsters. What makes it unique however, is that it has been a centre for horse racing, hunting, sacred pilgrimages, and lavish entertaining; a combination that can be found nowhere else.
Choosing your vehicle
Considering the picturesque yet spread-out nature of Siena and its surrounding areas, having convenient transportation at your disposal is paramount to ensuring you make the most of your visit.
Given this, I highly recommend considering renting a car directly from the airport upon your arrival. Opting for a rental car provides you with the flexibility and freedom to explore Siena and its neighboring attractions at your own pace, without being confined to public transportation schedules or limited routes.
Several reputable car rental companies operate directly from the airport, offering a wide range of vehicles to suit your preferences and budget. Booking your rental car in advance ensures availability and allows you to compare rates to secure the best deal for your trip.
Should you decide to pursue this option, we have Dan Prince who is more than happy to assist you with any inquiries or provide recommendations based on your specific requirements. Feel free to reach out to him for assistance or further information.
