Travel + Accomodation
Recommended Route
1.

** Pick-up Time: 11:30am - 12pm **
Arriving at a different time or day?
Take the Train:
Rome Airport → Roma Termini
Roma Termini → Assisi
Caitlin and I took the train when visiting the venue recently and it was a simple process. Trains are comfy and easy to find. First train leaves from the Airport and there's a 10 minute walk at Termini to board the next train. You'll then need to get a taxi from Assisi to your accom. It does take about 3-4 hours though in total! Hence why we recommend taking the private coach! (It's free!)
Alternative Airport
The closest international airport to Villamena is San Francesco d'Assisi Airport (Perugia Airport PEG). lt's only 30 min taxi drive or 1 stop on the train (Perugia → Assisi). However, there is no direct flights from Dublin. If using that airport you'll need to fly via London (Stansted) first. May suit international guests!
Where to Stay?
27th - 30th September: 3 nights
Villamena
Immediate family will be staying on-site at Villamena
Farmhouses
Remaining guests can stay at 2 farmhouses very close to Villamena or in Assisi
1.
Agriturismo Sole Luna - 5 mins walk to Villamena
2.
Agriturismo Nizzi - 12 mins walk to Villamena
Caitlin and I stayed at Agriturismo Nizzi when visiting. It's definitely very basic! Both farmhouses have their own pool but certainly nothing too fancy. Cheap and cheerful is the best description!
Please Note: Both Villamena and the farmhouses are isolated; 1+ hour walk from Assisi with no public transport. If anybody would prefer to be closer to amenities or a fancier accomodation, then staying in Assisi is a better option. Taxi from Assisi to Villamena is about 15 mins and we were charged a set rate of 20-25 euro each time.
Assisi Hotels
There are over 100 options on Booking.com for places to stay in Assisi.
The town is small and easy to walk from end to end.
For those who are committed to attending the wedding, we strongly encourage you to book your flights and accomodation asap. Prices will keep rising as the wedding gets closer. We fully understand the financial burden an overseas wedding can be for guests and we don't want anyone paying even more than they already have to!
We kindly ask that you let us know your flight and accomodation details when confirmed. This can be done through the RSVP page on this website.
