Getting Around Todi

FlixBus or regional bus from Rome / Perugia + local shuttle From €10 (Perugia) / €20 (Rome) 150 min

Get off at Todi bus stop, not Ponte Rio. From the piazza, phone the agriturismo – they’ll shuttle you UP the hill for free. The last bus from Rome leaves at 18:00; don’t rely on Sunday services.

Regional train to Todi Ponte Rio + taxi From €12 (Perugia) / €25 (Rome) 90 min

Todi Ponte Rio is lower than the hilltop town. Pre-book a taxi from Todi Taxi (+39 335 1234567) – there’s no rank at the station. The train route via Foligno is scenic but slow; pack snacks.

Private airport transfer (Rome Fiumicino or Perugia) From €140 (Perugia) / €280 (FCO) 45 min

Book a driver through the agriturismo directly – they know the unpaved final lane, which GPS often misses. Avoid hailing taxis at FCO; fixed-price services like NCC Todi or MyTaxi are reliable.

Rental car (self-drive from airport or city) From €60/day (rental only, plus tolls €8–12 from Rome) 45 min

The last 2 km is a gravel lane – a small car (like a Fiat Panda) is ideal. Park at the agriturismo’s gate; don’t try the steeper path if wet. Fill up in Todi town – no petrol station nearby.
