Travel FAQ
Booking Your Stay
We have reserved La Moscadella as well as some accommodations in the village of Castelmuzio, which is an 8-minute walk or 5-minute drive away, from Monday, August 23 through Saturday August 26th. (Check out by 10 am.)
Kindly fill out this form to RSVP by November 22nd and let us know if you will be able to join us. Since La Moscadella requires a single payor, we will be making everyone's payments on their behalf, and will need to receive your 50% deposit by December 1st.
The cost for guests will be $1200 per person. This will cover 5 nights of lodging and breakfast each morning. In addition, we will be hosting dinner each evening except for Wednesday, when the staff will be making preparations for the wedding celebration. We can receive payment of your deposit through a variety of methods, including Venmo or old-fashioned methods like checks. Contact us to discuss or with any questions!

The Isabella Experience has rave reviews on Tripadvisor. La Moscadella is Isabella's newest property. We loved our stay at Casa Morriciani in 2017, and have family members that have stayed with Isabella multiple times.
Getting There
Castelmuzio is easy to reach by car and located near the town of Pienza. It is a 40 minute drive west from the A-1 autostrada.
Below are the approximate driving times from the major airports:
- Florence 1.5 hours
- Rome 2.5 hours
- Pisa 2.5 hours
- Venice 3.5 hours
- Milan 5 hours
We recommend that you arrive either by:
1) renting a car at the airport and driving directly from there, or
2) taking the train to the Terontola-Cortona (on the main line between Florence and Rome) train station and renting a car there.
For those not wanting to drive (which is MUCH better than Ireland, BTW) we can suggest some private transportation options.
In additon to the 4 event meals, breakfast will be served for all guests at La Moscadella between 7:30 and 9:30 am each morning.
Lunch will be on your own, as well as dinner on Wednesday. Isabella and her team will be able to assist you with recommendations and reservations for anything, from a classic hole-in-the-wall Tuscan trattoria to a top-rated Michelin star restaurant.
Please inform Cathy or Drew of any dietary restrictions so that appropriate accommodations can be made.
