Travel & Arrival
The first formal activity will begin on Friday afternoon and the weekend will conclude on Monday morning after breakfast.
We know that many of you are coming to Italy as part of a larger holiday and joining us at Il Borro at either the front end or back end of an extended stay in the country. As Il Borro is not on any public transport links it would be recommended that you rent a car from the airport to explore the area. In addition since the estate covers many square miles it is sometimes the best way of getting around the venue as well, but please note this is not essential and is entirely your choice.
Il Borro is primarily served by both the Pisa and Florence (Firenze) airports, although Florence airport is slightly closer. There are many airline options out of both Boston Logan and NYC’s JFK airport. For those departing from Boston, there are daily flights to London, Paris, Amsterdam and Rome and from there you may take a connection to Florence or Pisa.
Please feel free to contact us with any questions or concerns and we will do our best to help you.
Directions by Car
From FLORENCE AIRPORT
Take the motorway directly outside the airport and follow directions for the A1 and A11 (the signs are green when all other roads are blue). Get to the toll and go south on the A1 towards Roma. Stay on this motorway for about 20 mins (4 exits) until you reach the Valdarno exit where you come off. Come out of the toll booth and turn right on the roundabout. Continue for about half a mile and then on the next roundabout you need to turn left (11 o’clock). Il Borro is then signposted. Turn right at the next roundabout and then follow the road for 15 mins until you reach the town of San Giustino Valdarno. Go through the town and then turn right – signposted Il Borro. The estate is about a mile on the left hand side. Enter through the main entrance gates and continue down the long drive to the reception.
From PISA AIRPORT
Take the motorway right outside the airport towards Firenze (Florence) and continue for about 40 minutes. Take the exit signposted in green for the A1 motorway towards Roma. Go through the toll going towards Roma, then as per the directions above.
NOTE: If you need to ask the way please stipulate ‘San Giustino Valdarno’ as there is another town of a similar name but in the wrong direction!!
