Getting there & map

Lunigiana is easily accessed by road, rail, or air.

By Air Many of the low cost airlines fly into the airports local to where the house is situated. Our three local airports are: Pisa, Parma and Genoa all of which are just one hour drive away on good motorways. We recommend you use this website to find your flights. http://travel.kelkoo.co.uk/

By Car From France the Mediterranean coast motorway runs through Genoa and on down the coast to La Spezia, Pisa, and Rome. Aulla, the gateway to Lunigiana, lies just off the motorway that connects La Spezia with Parma and the Adriatic coast motorway, which runs northwest to Milan, Switzerland and Germany.

Rail routes follow a very similar pattern.

Getting Around You will need a car to get around Lunigiana and it's quite easy with good roads. The rail connections are also very good as well as bus services between the major towns and cities. Please remember that Lunigiana is a rural area so bus services tend to be infrequent. The Irola bus comes at 9am on Friday and takes the locals to the open-air market in Villafranca, returning in time for lunch. A car is therefore essential. Hire cars are available at the airports and can be pre-booked with your air ticket. We have used www.hertz.com also www.avis.com and www.europcar.com We always compare rates at the time of booking the flights.
