Private group transfer
Florence Airport to Colle di Val d'Elsa
This is the run I know better than any other — Colle di Val d'Elsa is where I live and where the van is parked overnight. About an hour and five minutes from the arrivals hall to your door.

The drive
South out of Florence on the Firenze–Siena raccordo, a toll-free dual carriageway that keeps to the hills the whole way. It is not a motorway experience: no toll booths, few lorries, and vineyards close enough on both sides to see the rows.
The exit comes up just over an hour in. From there it is a few minutes down to Colle, or fifteen more west to Casole d'Elsa through open country. If your address is an agriturismo at the end of an unpaved white road, that is normal here and it is included — I am not going to stop at the turning and point.
Landing at Florence Peretola
Florence's airport has one terminal and one arrivals hall, so being met is simple: I stand inside with your name on a sign. No phone calls from a car park, no working out which door to come out of.
The flight is tracked, so a delay moves the pick-up by itself and costs nothing. Early morning departures work the same way in reverse — if your flight leaves at six, I will be outside at the hour that gets you there in time.
Arriving in Colle and Casole
Colle is two towns stacked on top of each other. Colle Alta sits along a ridge behind a gate, all stone and narrow lanes; Colle Bassa lies below it, where the crystal works are and where most of the shops still are. Knowing which of the two your hotel is in decides where a vehicle can actually stop, and I do know.
Casole d'Elsa is fifteen minutes west, a smaller walled village with the countryside dropping away on every side — a lot of the villas and agriturismi people rent around here have a Casole address even when the house itself is a few kilometres out. Give me the address and I will find it.

Questions about this route
How many people fit in the van?
Up to 8 passengers with their luggage, in a nine-seat Mercedes Vito. Groups of three to eight are exactly what the van is for — you all travel together instead of being split across two cars. For larger parties I can arrange a second vehicle; just tell me the number.
Do you charge per person or per vehicle?
Per vehicle. The price is the same whether there are three of you or eight, which is what makes a group transfer good value — the more of you, the less it costs each. Every journey is quoted on request, so send me your date, airport and group size and the figure comes back.
Which airports do you cover?
Florence Peretola (FLR) and Pisa Galileo Galilei (PSA) are the closest, both a little over an hour away. I also drive to and from Rome Fiumicino (FCO) and Ciampino (CIA), Milan Malpensa (MXP) and Linate (LIN), Bergamo Orio al Serio (BGY), Venice Marco Polo (VCE) and Naples Capodichino (NAP).
Can you drive us to a villa in the middle of nowhere?
Yes — that is most of my work. Hotels, villas, agriturismi and farmhouses down unsealed white roads around Siena, Casole d'Elsa, Chianti and the Val d'Orcia. Send me the address or a map pin and I will find it; if the last stretch is rough, I will tell you in advance.
