1. Will transportation be provided?

Yes. Due to the narrow street in of the church, a shuttle service will be available from Piazza S. Francesco (less than 10 mins way) to the villa immediately following the mass. Return transfers from the villa to Piazza S. Francesco will depart at 12.00a.m and 2:00 a.m. No individual stops will be made. Bus seats are reserved by name. Only registered guests listed on the passenger list may board.

2. Taxis & Ride Services

Taxis are available in Bologna but advance booking is strongly recommended, especially at night or on weekends, as on-demand cars may be unavailable. Fares are generally higher than in other countries and can increase based on time, distance or luggage.

3. Is Uber available in Italy?

Yes, Uber is available in Italy. However, unlike in many other countries, the standard UberX service is not offered. Instead, only premium services such as Uber Black, Uber Lux, Uber Van, and local taxis booked through the Uber app are available.

4. Car Rental

For guests who prefer to drive, rental cars are available directly at Bologna Airport and in the city centre.

Please note that usually only credit cards (not debit cards) are accepted for car rentals in Italy.

5. Renting a car in one city and returning it in another

It is possible to rent a car in one Italian city and return it in another (a “one-way rental”). This option is widely available between major cities such as Bologna, Rome, Milan, Florence and Venice. An additional fee usually applies, and higher charges may apply for islands such as Sicily or Sardinia. We recommend booking in advance, particularly during the summer season.

6. Where can I park in Bologna?

A list of paid parking options in Bologna’s city centre can be found in the Parking Lots & Garages section. As the historic centre is a ZTL (Limited Traffic Zone), guests staying in the city centre are encouraged to use such facilities to ensure authorized access.

Guests are also advised to check directly with their accommodation, as some properties provide ZTL exemptions, on-site parking or partner parking facilities, which may be located a 5–10 minute walk away.
