Frequently Asked Questions

    1. Ensure your passport doesn’t expire within 6 months of your travel date

    2. Purchase your $7 Italian visa HERE.

    3. Unlike other countries, Italians love when tourists try to speak their language. Learning, Ciao, Buongiorno, Buona sera, Buona notte, Arrivederci, Grazie, Per Favore, Prego, Mi Scusi, Quanto Costa… all go a long way and practce will help pass the time on the flight!

  • Black Tie Optional. We’ll be at a villa in the Tuscan hills, wear something fabulous that you love! Ladies.. it’ll be on grass so I don’t recommend 6 inch stiletto’s.

  • Flights from NY to Florence are mostly connecting flights. For a direct flight, I recommend flying to Rome and catching a quick train from Rome to Florence or renting a car.

  • You can book your room HERE. There are 3 different style rooms which are first come first serve.

    The first entrance to the Spa and breakfast each morning are included in the room rates.

    There is parking on site for those who plan on renting a car during their travels.

  • Travel agents are great! They find you the perfect hotel & tours at no additional cost to you. We love working with Bridget Finder & we couldn’t recommend more.

  • You can rent a car which is recommended if you plan on traveling to other neighboring cities.

    For those who don’t plan on renting a car, we will coordinate transportation to and from Florence and the Villa. More details to follow.

  • Let us know if this is the case! The Villa can offer child care during the events, upon request.

    PS. Some rooms allow an extra bed for kids. If you would like this, you can email: wedding.mc.artimino@melia.com. Please email them prior to booking the room as they will advise accordingly.

  • I find the most cost effective way is withdrawing cash at their local ATM’s.

    You can also exchange USD at the airport ahead of time if you want cash for the minute you land in Europe.

    While it’s important to have at least petty cash, all restaurants and attractions take credit card (except they don’t accept Amex).
