The races are set! Be sure you save, save, save! We are too. Don't forget that the more money you save, the better your experience can be. Even if you don't use it in Italy, it's great to have funds for a rainy day! To keep things digestible, it's saving $136/month or $34/week in perspective.

Summer of 2024: The first payment will be due for accommodations. Cost: Expect to send over $500-$1,000 to secure your space at the villa.

Start to browse and shop for the best airline deals. You will want to book for either Friday or Saturday. You may come on Sunday, but it is safest to leave a little buffer to be present on Monday for the rehearsal dinner, so we don't recommend this option. It is recommended our guests purchase traveler's insurance as well should something change. IMPORTANT: Be sure to book the airfare as soon as accommodations are confirmed. We will send out a mass message. Cost: $800-1,500. If you are a bougie traveler, expect to spend more. Again, be cautious of long layover times. We will have a page available for specific flights that we suggest a year out.

Last payment! Secure the rest of your stay. This payment will include transportation to and from the villa and 3 meals a day. Cost: Expect the range between $500-$1,000 (remainder of the total budget).
