TRAVEL INFORMATION FOR OUR MYSTICAL TUSCANY RETREAT
Important Contact Info :
La Chiara di Prumiano Strada di Cortine, 12 50021 Barberino Val D'elsa, Florence, Italy +39 055 807 5727 [email protected] (Antonio or Gaia) googlemap: http://tinyurl.com/ml77gwr Flight Arrangements After you book your retreat, we suggets you install VIBER or WHATSUP apps on your phone to be able to communicate with the whole group while travelling. It is recommended that you fly into Florence as it is the closest airport to our location. However, we had participants before who flew into Milan, Rome and/or Pisa. You may also find that rates are cheaper using a charter carrier, such as EuroFly, which flies into Bologna. If you fly into Bologna you will have to take a train to Florence train station. This also applies to those flying into Pisa. Both Pisa & Bologna are very close by train to Florence. Some of our Retreat Participants have taken flights to Milan or Rome as well and enjoyed a day or so there before they took fast trains to Florence and we all met as a group at the Santa Maria Novella SMN Florence Main Trainstation to travel together by van to the villa (30 minutes away from Florence). |
