Our Wedding Venue: Borgo Petroro
Our celebration takes place at Borgo Petroro, a stunning Country Relais set within an authentic medieval castle. Located in the heart of rural Umbria, the estate is surrounded by the region's signature rolling hills, olive groves, and vineyards. Just a short distance from the historic jewel-town of Todi, it offers a peaceful and timeless escape for our wedding festivities.
We are so excited to celebrate with you! Please note that while the Castello offers a magical setting, on-site accommodations are very limited. To ensure everyone is looked after, all on-site reservations will be coordinated directly through the venue, rather than online booking sites.
If you are interested in staying on-site or would like recommendations for lovely hotels nearby, we are here to help! We will share more detailed booking information soon, but in the meantime, please don't hesitate to reach out with any questions.
Getting to Borgo Petroro
Borgo Petroro is a hidden gem tucked away in the Umbrian countryside, about two hours north of Rome. Whether you choose to drive yourself through the olive groves or take a scenic train, here is everything you need to know to find your way to our castle home.
1. Flying into Rome
For most guests, the easiest way to reach us is by flying into one of Rome’s major airports:
Leonardo da Vinci–Fiumicino (FCO): The primary international airport.
Ciampino (CIA): Often used for regional and budget flights within Europe.
2. Driving (Highly Recommended)
Renting a car is the best way to enjoy the flexibility of the Umbrian region and explore the nearby "jewel-town" of Todi.
The Journey: From Rome, the drive to Borgo Petroro takes approximately 1 hour 45 minutes to 2 hours via the A1 and SS3bis highways.
International Driving Permit (IDP): It is a legal requirement to have an IDP to rent and drive a car in Italy. You can easily obtain this through your local AAA office for a small fee. It is a simple, over-the-counter process that does not require a new driving test, but you will need it alongside your standard license.
Pro-Tip: The final stretch of the drive offers stunning views—keep your cameras ready for the first glimpse of the Castello!
3. Taking the Train
If you prefer to sit back and watch the landscape roll by, the train is a wonderful option.
The Route: From Rome's Termini Station, you can take a train toward Terni or Spoleto. You can check schedules and book tickets in advance via Trenitalia.
The Final Leg: From Terni, you will need to take a connecting bus or local train toward Todi-Ponte Rio.
Taxis: Todi-Ponte Rio is about 15 minutes from the Borgo. Taxis can be scarce, so we recommend pre-booking a service.
4. Private Transfers
For a seamless, door-to-door experience, private car transfers can be booked from Rome airports directly to Borgo Petroro.
Estimated Travel Time: ~1 hour 50 minutes from FCO.
Booking: Services like Daytrip offer reliable private transfers with English-speaking drivers.
