As an alternative, one can also take a Ryanair flight to Ancona (1 hr 30 mins by car). Depending on season and day of the week, flights can cost as little as ?50 return to this small, bustle-free airport. Like Ancona, Pescara is well connected to the motorway towards Assisi - on the whole preferable to the large airports in Rome or Florence.

Easyjet offers affordable flights to Bologna (north of Florence, 2 - 2.5 hrs drive from Assisi) and Rome (also 2 - 2.5 hrs drive from Assisi).

Rome is served by most major airlines, including British Airways and Virgin, and most car hire companies have offices in the airports. Rome is approximately 2 hrs from Assisi by car.

Florence has an airport, but is not much closer than Rome and flights tend to be more expensive and less frequent. However, if you are flying from the U.K., Meridiana does offer an excellent Gatwick-Florence service, and you might want to combine your departure or arrival with a visit to the city.

DRIVING

One pays a toll for driving on Italy's 'autostrade' (motorways). Rome is connected with the North by the A1, which one follows south until the Perugia exit, which is not far after the one for Arezzo. From there one follows the E75 past Lake Trasimeno to Perugia, then the signs to Assisi. Weekends are a good time to travel on the "autostrada" as lorries cannot circulate on Saturday and Sunday. Bear in mind that roads tend to be especially busy around large cities on Saturdays.

REACHING CASA ROSA FROM ASSISI

At ASSISI take the road around the edge of the old town and follow signs for GUALDO TADINO. This will take you through Piazza Matteotti, and you should leave Assisi by an arched stone gateway, Porta Perlici. From Assisi continue on the road for Gualdo Tadino (SS 444). 4.3 km (2.7 miles) after leaving Assisi you should come to PONTE GRANDE, where there are two bars, Giovannino's on the left and Moro de Ronca on the right. Continue for another 1.5 km (0.9 miles) until you come to a small turning on the right signposted 'Santuario Madonna dei Tre Fossi'. Here you turn off and follow the small country road. Follow this road for another 2.1 km (1.3 miles) until you come to a fork. Here you turn left up a steep hill. Follow the road around three tight bends until you see on the right a turning marked Casa Rosa. Turn right into this track, and it will take you directly to Casa Rosa.
