Please let us know if you’re having any baggage problems, or if you need any special assistance so we can help. Our team will tell you where to find your coach or taxi for your transfer to Limone.

Transfer to your resort When your transfer is ready to leave for Limone, we'll let you know an estimated journey time and explain the route, including any stops or drop-offs along the way.

In these circumstances, your travelling time to your resort will usually be less, as the coach will stop at fewer resorts along the way.
