We recommend flying into Pisa which is located just over an hour away from Rosmarino. (Genoa is 1.5 hours away and Florence just under 2 hours). We will assist where possible to link participants to facilitate common arrival times and potential shared transfer – by taxi (with our lovely English speaking driver, Maria) or via free collection from Gragnola train station (direct train from Pisa costs €9 and takes about 1.5 hours). Depending on train times to Gragnola, Aulla is another option with fast trains from Pisa – we can arrange a transfer from there (about 25 mins from the villa). If you choose to hire a car we can provide detailed driving instructions.
It is a condition of retreat booking that personal travel (accident and medical) insurance is taken out by the participants.
