Florence On Line :: Travel Tips :: 160 Euros, Bologna to Florence
160 Euros, Bologna to Florence
We just heard back from Palazzo Antellesi that they could provide a mini van from the airport in Bologna to the Pallazo for €160. We haven't heard back from either of the other companies we tried to contact about this, so we went ahead and confirmed the ride with the Palazzo. At about $200 door to door it seems well worth it - remember we have two small children and will probably have 12 pieces of luggage. This cuts out the bus ride to the train station in Bologna, and then the taxi ride to the Palazzo from the station in Florence.

Just talking to a friend who pointed out that it is vacation time in Italy and maybe that is why I have not heard back from the car services I have emailed. That is a good point - and something to keep in mind. It also brings up the larger point of having a website and a business on the web though in this 24/7 connected world - I think most people have the impression that if your site is there, so are you. I could see that many people would be on holiday in Italy, but this is also the time where a lot of people in America and Europe may be planning their Fall travel. You have to imagine that there has to be a way to check email even if you are "closed" and on vacation? Or at least put a message on your site saying you are gone for a month (that is another can of worms - keeping a site updated).
Anyway it is going to be interesting as my ingrained American sensibilities confront my new European ones. Living in the Virgin Islands has definitely increased my patience levels, but sometimes you just expect things to work a certain way... don't you?
