Getting There
Villa Boscarello is located near the small town of Trequanda, in Tuscany Italy.
The nearest airports to fly into are:
-
Florence (FLR): 1.5 hour scenic drive south to the Villa
-
Rome (FCO): 2.5 hour scenic drive northeast to the Villa
You can easily connect from the airport to the nearest train stations by taxi or Uber:
-
Florence: Firenze Santa Maria Novellla Station
-
Rome: Roma Termini Station
From there, you can train to the city of Siena, which is a 45 minute drive from the Villa. Siena is a beautiful city to stop and explore or spend a night or two in. It is not as big as Florence and Rome, with far less tourists, but still has all the beautiful architecture and charm as the larger cities. From Siena, rent a car and drive the short distance to the Villa or continue by train to Asciano, the nearest station to the villa (10 minute drive). From here we will be happy to pick you up and bring you and your luggage back to the villa or wherever you decide to stay in the area.

Getting Around
Once you land in Italy, it is extremely easy (and cheap) to travel around the country and visit all the beauty it has to offer, whether by train or rental car.
While visiting any of the larger cities like Florence, Rome, Naples, Pisa etc. we highly recommend arriving by train. The streets are narrow with many roads not open to cars and parking is minimal. The cities are easily walkable and if transportation is needed, taxis and Ubers will take you wherever you need to go.
Surrounding the cities, Italy is full of small towns and villages, all hundreds of years old. We highly recommend venturing out and exploring the quieter more cultural parts of the country. The best way to travel to these areas is by car. Car rental in Italy is inexpensive and driving around is very similar to the states (Yes, they drive on the right side of the road too). If renting a car is not in your plans, there are tours that take you to the smaller towns to explore for the day.
For more information on renting a car please visit the FAQ section of the website.
Train
Trains are the easiest and most scenic way to go longer distances around Europe. They are cheap (usually less than $20), and offer quieter more comfortable first class cars for only a few bucks more. They are great for going from city to city and there are places to store your luggage while on board. We recommend downloading the TrainLine app to purchase your tickets. They can be bought weeks or hours in advance and can save a lot of time and money over purchasing at the station.
some of the larger stations can be a bit daunting to navigate at first but read the monitors and signs as well as your app and you should be fine. Knowing the final destination of the train you are boarding helps in finding the right track to go to.
Car Rental
Renting a car in Italy is inexpensive and convenient if you plan to travel to the smaller towns or get an Airbnb off the beaten path. There are many of the familiar rental companies like Hertz, Enterprise, and SIXT, Europcar is a great economic alternative and one we commonly use abroad. Utilize Expedia or other travel sites to find the best price.
It is necessary to obtain an International Driving Permit prior to going abroad. This is an extension of your US drivers license but has translations in many languages. You can get one at any AAA office in the states for $20 and they are good for a year from the issue date.
Driving in Italy is very similar to driving in the states. They drive on the right side of the road and many of the road signs are similar to ours. Here is a helpful link for a brief overview of the different signs to expect.
Places to Visit
Siena
Siena is a smaller version or Florence or Rome with its own Duomo and all the food, drinks, and shopping you need. Highly recommended for a day or stay for a few nights.
San Gimignano
The city of 14 Towers, this town is rich in history and a great place to spend an afternoon if you are traveling between Florence and Siena.
Montepulciano
This Tuscan hill town famous for their wine has breathtaking views and plenty to see, eat, and drink. It is centrally located to several other hill towns and wineries in the area. This town does not allow cars in its city walls so wear comfy walking shoes however parking is ample along the outside of the town.
Saturnia Hot Springs
Visit the Cascate del Mulino hot springs in Saturnia, halfway between Rome and the Villa. Relax in these sulfur rich thermal baths with their silky teal waters and their numerous skin benefits. Best of all it is free to visit! For the best experience, come early to watch the sunrise.
