Flight & Travel Info: Norway – Italy

The most relevant airports for those traveling from Norway to Tuscany are Pisa, Florence, Bologna, Rome, Bergamo, Milan and Venice. There are direct flights, but there are also a number of flights with a stopover. KLM, SAS and Lufthansa have good solutions from Torp, Gardermoen and other major airports in Norway to Pisa, Florence and Bologna. You get a stopover, but the prices can be lower and arrival / departure in Italy is often at a more convenient time of the day. Many people have probably experienced being annoyed by a direct flight returning from Italy at 6:15 in the morning. For many in Eastern Norway, it can be a favorable alternative to check prices with Ryanair from Sandefjord / Torp to Bergamo. For families, it can be a saving of up to several thousand kroner by flying to Bergamo compared to, for example, Pisa. From Bergamo to, for example, Lucca / Tuscany, it’s about 3 hours by car. Check out various flight options on Momondo.

High Season and Flights on Saturdays

Most homes for rent in Italy are rented out Saturday-Saturday. Therefore, airline tickets are sold out for Saturdays first. If you fly other days than Saturdays, the flight can be cheaper! If you have rented a holiday home from Saturday to Saturday, it is an idea to check the air fares on Friday and Sunday. You can save thousands by doing this. If you get an extra day in Italy, you can take the opportunity to visit exciting cities such as Verona, Florence, Venice or Rome. If you are lucky, the difference in the air fares can actually cover a few extra days in Italy.

Many people combine Italy with a few days’ stay in another country. Ryanair (or other airlines) can fly you cheaply from an airport in Italy to another European city. There you can spend a few nights, then fly back to Norway. It is relatively inexpensive to fly domestically in Italy. One can, for example, holiday a week on the mainland of Tuscany, and take Ryanair from Pisa to Sardinia. For some, it may be appropriate to fly from Gothenburg to Italy. For example, Ryanair flies directly from Gothenburg to Pisa. One possibility is also to fly directly to Nice and then drive to Italy. Others fly to Munich, and take a trip across the Alps before traveling to Italy.

Both those who work in PrimaToscana and those who work at the reception at Varramista are super welcoming and helpful. Fast response time and on the offer side, both when it came to procuring transport and miscellaneous. activities such as wine tasting and cooking classes. Very satisfied! Would love to come back.

Casa Mira is an absolutely lovely place with plenty of space and facilities in true Tuscan style. Very nice family who welcomed us and followed us up along the way if we needed help. They quickly arrived when we called, for example when the power went out a couple of times during our stay. Rubbish was emptied every day, and we came to a clean and tidy house on arrival.We were two families with a total of 8 children, for which the house was perfect. The only thing we would like was air conditioning in all bedrooms, only two bedrooms have this and it was very hot at night.Super location with a short stroll to the nearest local baker with fresh bread every morning, a lovely pizza place with takeaway, and a short drive to the nearest grocery store. Very good restaurant just down the street from the house. And a lively playground/meeting place two minutes away where families, young people, grandparents etc. met in the evenings with a small kiosk, tennis court, football pitch and playground. The kids had a great time here.We would love to come back to Casa Mira!!

The house exceeded our expectations, it was almost like a castle with a lovely location in central Tuscany, close to other great places. There were 12 of us, grandparents with children and grandchildren. The accommodation was top notch, and the property with its own pool was undisturbed. We stayed in Villa Torre in Iano.
