Getting to Pienza
The closest airport is Florence or Perugia, both are just over an hour’s drive from the venue.
We would definitely recommend hiring a car so you can see some of the beautiful areas of Tuscany while you are here, it will make it easier for you to get around.
The car hire area is accessible via a free shuttle bus from outside both airports and takes a few minutes to get to, we usually arrive and secure a car with ease without a booking, but you can also pre-book this.
You will need your driving licence and a credit/debit card depending on which company you choose, we usually use Avis and get a good rate.
Accomodation
We will be hosting a welcome party the night before at Terrazza del Chiostro in the historic Tuscan town of Pienza.
Pienza is only around a 10-15 minute drive from our wedding venue, and we will be organising shuttles to Borgo Sant’Ambrogio on the wedding day and pool party, returning to Pienza at the end of each event.
All pre booked rooms have now been reserved - if you need help with accommodation please email us on: zappieverafter@gmail.com
Food & Drink Recommendations
There are so many beautiful places to visit nearby, if you have time or are staying for a few days on either side of the wedding we recommend visiting Montepulciano and Montalcino which are both close by.
We would recommend having lunch at Podere Il Casale, located in Pienza they offer a unique farm-to-table experience as well as some incredible tastings of local cheeses, meats and of course.. wine!
For Apertivo we would recommend visiting E Lucevan Le Stelle, it is a lovely little wine bar located in Montepulciano

Lastly, for dinner, Poggio Alla Sala, also located in Montepulciano and just a short walk away from the wine bar, ask for a seat on the terrace for beautiful views and incredible food!
