BY AIR
The nearest airport for direct flights from London is Perugia, which is less than half an hour’s drive from the house.

Ryan Air fly to Perugia at least 3 times a week from London Stanstead.

Ryan Air also fly at least once a day into Ancona from London Stanstead and there are also regular flights from Liverpool.

Flights are very reasonably priced. Ancona is less than 1 hours drive from the property.




Many of our guests fly into Bologna Forli airport with Ryan Air, making the drive to the house about 2.5 hours

Pisa airport is about 3 hours drive away and Easy Jet, among other airlines, flies to Pisa.

Rome airport is only a 2.5 hour drive from the house.

Florence Airport is 2.5 hours drive from the house.

If you are flying direct from America, you can fly into Rome and either drive (2.5 hours) or get a connecting flight to Perugia airport (25 mins drive) or fly into Bologna (2.5 hours)

We recommend you hire a car from the airport you fly into, as many of the airlines do discount car hire if you book with the company of their choice. However, we can arrange a taxi service to pick you up, should you wish not to drive (additional charge).


BY CAR
From the UK the drive takes about two days.

The best route is to take the ferry to Calais and drive down through France on the toll motorways through the Mount Blanc tunnel into Italy.

There is a reasonable hotel at Macon or one near Geneva , both ideal places to stop for the night.

Once in Italy, it’s a fairly direct route through the Aosta valley to Bologna and Fano.

Please contact us for further details, should you wish to drive.


BY RAIL
The nearest railway station is at Fossato Di Vico (20 mins drive from the house). There are several direct trains from Rome. You can also arrive into Perugia by train from Florence and the north of Italy.


DIRECTIONS
When you book your holiday we will send you step by step directions telling you how to get to Pian Di Cascina from whichever airport you fly into or from the UK if necessary.


CAR HIRE
We recommend you hire a car whilst you are in Italy. There is public transport, but a lot of the most interesting villages in Umbria are off the beaten track, and therefore a car is essential.

Hertz are usually a good company to hire from.
The prices are reasonable and cars are generally in good condition.



We recommend that you take out fully comprehensive insurance on your hire car.

Please check that your car is in full working order, before you leave the airport.

Driving in Italy is generally just like the rest of Europe, however, accidents can happen and it’s better to be fully covered.

If you have special requirements such as child car seats, roof racks etc… make sure you book them well before you arrive, as a lot of the airport car hire companies are small franchises and don’t carry more than one of each of the extra items.
