Flights
You can either fly into the Rome (Roma Fiumicino) or the Pescara Airport. -Rome: More accessible if flying from USA. ~2.5hr drive from Rome to Capestrano. -Pescara: If coming from USA, you have to self-transfer in a European city (London, Barcelona, Milan, etc.). If you try to do one trip from USA to Pescara, the flights will be very expensive. You have to first get yourself to one of the cities that has flights to Pescara, then book another flight. Within Europe, these flights are less than $100. The Pescara airport is much smaller and easier to navigate, and it is ~40 min drive from Capestrano.

Renting a Car in Roma Fiumicino
Keep in mind, a lot of the roads will be narrow, so smaller cars are better. You can rent either manual or automatic, but manual will be cheaper and more common. Research ahead of time where your rental car desk will be. We found that some of the smaller companies are tucked away in a parking garage. We highly recommend taking the toll road (A24 and A25/E80)! Otherwise your drive will be much longer and complicated... Trust us, we've tried the non-toll routes and it wasn't fun. Expect to pay about 20 Euros each way. It is easier if you have cash on you.

Renting a Car in Pescara
This is a much smaller airport, so the rental car desks will be directly outside of where you exit security. We highly recommend taking the toll road (A25/E80). Expect to pay about 5 Euros in tolls. It is easier to have the cash on you.
