For transport to and from the venue, we can arrange a quality mini bus (for an extra cost - approximately €125).
We think the best way to get to/from Villa Olivo for international travelers is to fly on a red eye to Rome landing on the morning of the 23rd - or come in a few days early to explore Rome - and meet at the airport for the shuttle by noon on the 23rd to take the 2h45 min drive. Once you book your flight please forward us your itinerary and we will keep track of you and set you up with info to find the driver on the 23rd.
We will have a similar option to return to Rome leaving the morning of the 30th from Olivo to Rome airport for up to 7 passengers. We will secure a second van if needed.
Please let us know asap if you’d like us to arrange an airport transfer for you and your flight details.
Please note, if you do not meet up with the group for transport you can rent your own car, take a public bus, or take an individual taxi which costs approximately €500 from Rome. Please plan accordingly! It is our hope that you have the flexibility to book a few extra days before or after in Rome or another fabulous destination in Italy!
If you are looking for help booking tours or rooms or other recommendations before or after the retreat around Rome, you can reach out to Ilaria at info@beinitaly.com . This is a tour company that the owner of Villa Olivo suggested.
All “extras” like airport transfers, massages, alcohol, etc, will be added to your bill to be paid before departure.
