Frequently Asked Questions

Is English spoken?
Some, but not much. The tourist office in Todi can help with questions.
Yet the area is very tourist-user friendly.

Is a rental car needed?
Yes. Public transport is minimal in the land of hill towns.

Is there a nearby train station?
It is difficult to get to Todi by train. The rail line to Todi is private and runs infrequently. Orvieto is on the main north/south line and is your best choice. Car rentals are available in Orvieto.

Where is the nearest airport?
Perugia has one that may be convenient. If coming from the Americas, we recommend Rome, a 90-minute drive to Izzalini.

Yes. The apartment is up 2 flights.

Is there a phone in the apartment?
No. We recommend renting a cell phone if yours does not have worldwide access.

Is there access to a computer?
There is no computer connection in the apartment; however, the Izzalini bar has Wi-Fi at 3 euros per hour if you have a computer. 2 miles away in Collelungo, a computer is available in the grocery store for about the same amount. Otherwise, Todi has several computer rental sites for your use

In Todi, at every bank. Credit cards work almost everywhere.

What do I do if I have a medical emergency?
There is an emergency room (Pronto Soccorso) in Todi. We’ve used it and found it very satisfactory.

Food shopping?
Bread is delivered by the Izzalini Bakery truck daily (except Sunday) to the bottom of the stairs. Yes, it comes to you! You still can walk over to the bakery if you wish. Two times a week, a grocery truck comes to Izzalini. The nearest grocery store (alimentari) is in Collelungo, two miles away, while Todi provides two supermarkets.
