Travel & Transportation
Flying In
The closest airport is Palermo Falcone–Borsellino (PMO), approximately 40 minutes from both Trabia and Cefalu. Catania Fontanarossa (CTA) is a further option (~2 hrs), but Palermo is strongly recommended if you are only coming for the 3 days.
Car Rental
If wanting to explore more of Sicily, we highly recommend renting a car. Book via Discovercars.com — in our experience, it’s cheaper than booking directly with individual rental agencies for both rental and insurance. Note: Italian car rental companies are known for spurious damage claims, which we have experienced personally.
Wedding Transfers
If you're staying in Cefalu or Palermo, we can arrange transportation to and from Castello Lanza Branciforte di Trabia on the wedding day. Please indicate this when you RSVP.
Where to Stay
We recommend staying in Cefalu — a charming port village and home base for the Welcome Dinner and Farewell Brunch — or in Palermo, the bustling capital. Both are beautiful and unique in their own way.
