Borgo di Pietrafitta Relais
When searching for the perfect wedding venue, our top priority was finding a place where all of our friends and family could stay together for the entire weekend. We are so excited to share that we found exactly that with The Borgo di Pietrafitta! It offers beautiful apartments, stunning views, and the best part? On wedding day, you can just step outside and be right at the ceremony—no need to worry about transportation!
We've already taken care of reserving and paying for the entire venue and all the rooms, so all we ask is that each guest contributes $200 per person for the whole weekend. This covers your stay, and trust us, it's going to be worth every penny! If you have any questions or need more details, feel free to reach out to Bekah or Wyatt. We’re here to help!
Note about apartment assignment: Due to the number of rooms available, some parties may need to stay together. Bekah and Wyatt will reach out to confirm that you're okay with staying with another party if this applies to your group. If you have any concerns about this, please don’t hesitate to let us know!
The Borgo includes:
- Free WiFi
- A stunning infinity pool (hello, relaxation!)
- Free parking
- Buffet breakfast to kick off each day
- Daily housekeeping to keep things tidy
- Exclusive use of the beautiful common areas
- And to top it all off, a bottle of Chianti Classico will be waiting for you when you arrive!
Meals at The Borgo:
The Borgo has you covered with a delicious breakfast buffet every morning! As for the rest of the weekend, we’ve got a few special meals planned: a light dinner at the Welcome Party, a casual dinner for the Rehearsal Dinner, and of course, dinner at the wedding itself.
If you’re feeling peckish at lunchtime, though, lunch will be on you—so feel free to explore the local spots or bring some snacks!
We can’t wait to spend this unforgettable weekend with you all!
Nearby Airports
The Borgo is nestled in the heart of Castellina in Chianti, and you'll need to drive there from whichever airport you choose to fly into. But don't worry, the scenic drive through Tuscany will be worth it!
Amerigo Vespucci Airport
About an hour's drive from the Borgo
Leonardo da Vinci–Fiumicino Airport
A bit farther, about 3 hours, but hey, it's a great excuse for a road trip!
Driving Around Italy
Before you hit the road, just a quick heads-up: driving in Italy can be a bit of an adventure! Be sure to familiarize yourself with the local driving laws, and don’t forget that an International Driving Permit is required for all Americans who plan on driving.
For more information on this, check out this link to U.S. Embassy in Italy's website.
To apply for an international driving permit, check out this link to the AAA International Driving Permit website.
Wyatt and Bekah's Tips for Driving
Wyatt and I did a ton of driving during our visit in February. We drove from Rome to Siena, to the venue, and around the Tuscan countryside. It was super easy, very similar to driving around the US. Some things to keep in mind:
1. If you rent a car, make sure you check whether it's automatic or manual. Most cars in Europe are manual, though automatics are becoming more popular. If you prefer automatic, just be sure to specify that with the rental company. :)
2. Tolls are common, and most rental cars won't have the electronic tag for automatic billing (the yellow Telepass). And no, your EZ Pass will not work in Italy, sadly :/. At toll booths, go to the blue lane that says "Carte" if you want to pay with a card, or the gray cash lane if you want to pay with cash. You can pay tolls with your American credit card, and they aren't expensive. The most we paid was from Siena to Rome a couple of Euros.
3. Follow road signs, not Google. Sometimes Google tries to send you the wrong way down a one-way street or incorrectly identifies the speed limit. At least in our experience, it was accurate about 50% of the time. Just stay alert.
We highly recommend reading up on Italian road signs before you go. We definitely saw most of them while we were there! Here’s a great Italian road sign guide that includes all the signs we came across.
Pay special attention to Traffic Limited Zones (in Italian: Zona a Traffico Limitato, or ZTLs) when driving in the city. Violating them can result in hefty fines. Wyatt and I avoided these zones by sticking to countryside driving, parking on the outskirts of cities, and walking or taking public transit into the city centers.
Check out this traveler's guide to ZTL before you head into any cities :).
Passports & Travel Authorization
Before you pack your bags, make sure your passport is up to date and valid for at least six months beyond your travel dates—this is an important entry requirement for Italy.
EITAS Update!!! - No Action Needed
ETIAS will start operations in the last quarter of 2026.
No action is required from travellers at this point. So you don't have to anything in regards to this for the wedding :)!
