GETTING THERE
Flying In
Fiumicino (FCO) & Ciampino (CIA) in Rome are the two closest airports. You can also fly into Pisa’s Galileo Galilei Airport (PSA) or Florence’s Amerigo Vespucci Airport (FLR), if required, however you should note that your journey to the retreat center will be 30-90 minutes longer.
