Airports
Main Airport
Airport: Leonardo Da Vinci International Airport
Directions to Resort: (From Fiumicino Airport) Follow the green signs towards Rome and join the Fiumicino-Roma E80 motorway for about 6km/3.5 miles. Leave the E80 at the FIRENZE A1 exit and head north for approximately 30km/18 miles until you reach the FIRENZE-A1 exit. Join the FIRENZE A1/E35 motorway heading north for around 16km/10 miles at which point the motorway will become the FIRENZE A1 toll road. Stay on the toll road until you get to the ORTE exit (around 35 minutes). As you exit the tollroad you must pay the €3.80 toll charge (please DO NOT use the TELEPASS lanes to pay the fare). Once you have left the toll booth immediately turn left and you will soon be on the SS204 four-lane expressway heading to Viterbo. Stay on the expressway and exit at SORIANO-CHIA and follow the blue signs that indicate Soriano. Approximate time of journey from airport to resort 90 minutes. Once you have entered the village, you should follow the main road on your left and then the signs for “Centro – Municipio”. You’ll find a round square with a fuel station on your right. Take the left street climbing up and after crossing the Main Square ”Piazza Vittorio Emanuele II”, where you can see the church on the right side, please pay attention: don’t go straight on, but take the right fork “Via Garibaldi”, that unfortunately isn’t so much visible. The resort is on the second street on the left “Via Montecavallo”. You cannot reach the resort by car, but you can leave the car on a parking space in front of “Via Montecavallo”. You can walk up to the resort (20m) and a porter (available only on Saturday) will come down to pick-up your suitcases and show you where the free car park is.
Because of special events going on in the town centre in certain time of the year, alternative directions may be needed. Please contact the resort.
