How to get here
Tara Nature Retreat is located 10km outside the town of Todi, a picturesque medieval Italian town known for its gastronomy, truffles and wine.
Simply take a train, bus, or plane to Rome. A shuttle bus service or private driver then takes you to Todi from Rome Tiburtina train/bus station or from Rome Fiumicino airport (FCO). From Todi, we set you up with a driver. See details below.
Driving yourself is a great way to see Italy :). You can find our location on Google Maps. Important: if you come from the North (Perugia/Todi), please select the route via the nearby village of 'Montenero' on your GPS guidance (the other route has roads taken back by Nature ;) ).
