Florence Airport (1.5 hrs) is our primary choice for getting to the Villa, in Volterra. Pisa (1 hr) and Rome (3 hrs) also have major airports you may fly into as well.
Via Casa Ulignano, Ulignano, PI 56048, Italy We are hiring a bus service to pick up at the Florence Airport on October 22 and back to Florence Airport on October 29. Those times will be determined as we receive your flight information. colellawedding10.27.24@gmail.com
We would like to advise everyone that there is no public transportation, nor taxis or Uber around the villa, and the closest town (Volterra) is a 15 minute drive. Car rentals are highly encouraged if you would like to get out and explore during our stay. We do have some activities planned with transportation included. If you’d like to rent a car please be careful to book an automatic transmission, otherwise by default the cars are usually manual. Driving from the Florence airport is very easy and stress free - there is nothing about the experience that would be any more difficult than driving in the States, though the last part of the trip is on roads with quite a few curves. And the last mile is on a bumpy, windy dirt road. The airport is outside of Florence on the highway, so you don't have to drive in or near the city, and the drive to the villa is about 1 hr 30 min.
Although we would love to extend this experience out to all of our family and friends, this is meant to be an intimate event. The Villa has limited space, and the option for extra invitations does not fit into our plans. Please refrain from inviting others not on our list during this week.
Rooms have already been assigned to individuals staying for our weeklong experience. Those individuals will receive a boarding pass in the mail and is your ticket into the Villa. For anyone not staying at the Villa, you will be welcomed to the Villa on the day of the ceremony, unless otherwise specified.
If you received a plus one on your invitation, then yes! However to keep our event intimate, we can only accommodate those on our invitation list.
Your presence at our wedding is really more than we could’ve asked for in terms of gifts. However in leu of a gift, if you would like to Sponsor or help contribute towards a meal or event, please go to the registry link on our website.
We would like everyone to be comfortable. A dressy casual look will be just perfect for the ceremony. Please keep in mind that the weather in October may be similar to the fall weather we experience in the states. Please bring options for cool weather as well as jackets if it should rain.
Hotel recommendations are listed on the travel page of our website for those attending only the ceremony and reception.
We kindly ask to keep distractions at a minimum, please refrain from taking photos and FaceTiming during the ceremony. We have hired an Italian photographer to capture the moment of when we say our “I do’s”. However please feel free to capture the vibes of our Apertif/cocktail hour and dinner reception afterwards.
If you have any dietary restrictions, please address them with us immediately. We have been told by our wedding planner that our caterers for the ceremony are some of the best around and can accommodate special diets from gluten free - nut free - dairy free. The only thing we ask is to have some sort of love for Italian food, because that’s basically all we’re serving🍝🍕🇮🇹
We will have outings and activities planned throughout the week that we would like it if all of our guests attend, and the Villa offers plenty of fun like game rooms, saunas, bbq pits, pizza ovens, hiking trails, a cinema, and a large pool. During downtime, we encourage everyone staying at the villa to go out and explore what Tuscany has to offer. We would like to STRONGLY EXPRESS, however, that this Villa is our gift to you in celebration of our marriage and this will be a week of bonding with our friends and family. Please DO NOT take advantage of our hospitality and plan your own vacation during this week. If you have received an invitation to stay at the villa, but would like to plan out your own itinerary during this week and only attend the day of the ceremony, please contact us immediately so we can offer your room to the next guest on our list. (Sorry if that was harsh, but it needed to be said 😉)
If you have any questions or need more information in regards to our wedding week or ceremony, please email us at Colellawedding10.27.24@gmail.com
Our custom paper invites will be going out to everyone invited in May. Sorry for the delay 😌
