How to get to Talamone
We are getting married in a place called Bengodi, near Talamone, which is very special to us and where we return almost each time we come to Italy.
We are very excited to share it with you.
So here is how you get to it!
From Rome
By car
Talamone is about an hour and half drive from Rome Fiumicino Airport. The most straightforward way to get there if you’re coming from abroad is to fly to Rome Fiumicino and hire a car there. The drive is through a motorway and then a main road called ‘Aurelia’, it’s fairly easy to follow.
By train
The alternative is to take the train. Most trains from Fiumicino change at either Roma Termini or Roma Trastevere and from there you can take a regional train to Talamone.
From Pisa
The alternative is to fly to Pisa from which you can hire a car or take a train to Grosseto or Orbetello and then a taxi from there.
Local taxis
Renato: +39 339 351 7705 (Can also do group pick ups from Fiumicino)
Paolo: +39 347 380 3408
How to get to the venue
This is the exact location:
Via Gaetano Carotti, 6, 58015 Orbetello GR, Italy
We have organised a shuttle to and from Gitavillage which may also be able to stop in Talamone, please let us know via the whatsapp group if you'd like to be picked up from Talamone.
Where to stay
Lodges & camping
Gitavillage, Talamone
7 minutes’ drive
The lodges here (the ones called Michelangelo and Leonardo) are simple but nice and overlook the Talamone bay, from up the hill, which is lovely. There are other types of accommodation too.
There will be a shuttle from/to here on the day of the wedding.
