Ask us about hands-on marbled paper workshops! Arriving in Florence: Florence is well connected to all major cities in Italy (Rome, Milan, Naples, Bologna and Venice) by extensive, well maintained motorways and efficient and fast train connections. If you are travelling with young children, have lots of luggage or wish for a completely stress-free experience, we recommend booking a private car with driver service (see info below). Travelling by train: Italy has an efficient and fast train network. So, if you are arriving into airports in Rome, Milan, Bologna, Venice or Naples, you can catch the express train (Trenitalia Frecciarossa or Italo) which offers direct services to Florence. Please note that a change may be required from the airport terminal to the train station and then once in Florence you will need to take a taxi or hire a car to reach the apartment. If you decide to travel by train please note that the high speed train fares can vary and it can be very expensive to purchase train tickets last minute. Going by train is usually quicker than travelling by road, but please take into consideration the stations are often very busy and Italy is famous for its frequent train strikes. Arriving at Florence or Pisa Airport / Train Station: Florence Airport: 25 mins. drive from the apartment by taxi or private driver / 25 minutes tram journey to the main train station + 25 minutes by foot or 10 mins drive Florence Santa Maria Novella train station: 10 mins. drive / 25 mins. by foot (we do not recommend walking). Pisa: 1.5 hours by local train / coach / taxi / private car or self-drive Taxis: Getting around Florence by taxi is not difficult, but you do have to know ahead of time that in Italy taxis cannot be “flagged down” as they pass you along the street! Taxis are instead "stationed" at special taxi parking stands in most of the major squares and they can be requested by phone. Please make sure you either book well in advance or allow plenty of time to call a taxi. Private Car Service with English Speaking Driver (available throughout Tuscany and beyond) Hire in Italy is a local limo company that can organise all your transport requirements. Explore the options and take advantage of sightseeing en route during your arrival transfer! An extra benefit that is not possible by train. Whether you need a simple transfer service or you are looking to discover the hidden gems of Tuscany, please contact Hire in Italy for a quote with the code FLH. Parking in Florence: Florence’s historical centre is a Restricted Traffic Zone so if you are planning to arrive by car please let us know in advance so that we can recommend a parking area that is only a 5 minute walk from the apartment! If you wish to visit other areas of Tuscany or if you need assistance with getting from the train station or airport please contact us! Registration Details IT048017C2SIO4J4RB
