 Below you’ll find answers to the questions that we are asked most often. This FAQ series will be the primary way we can help people visiting our site find the information they need. Question: The number one question asked by potential guests to our B&B is ... how do I get from Rome to you in Abruzzo? Answer: There are three ways to get from Rome to Roccacasale: by car, by bus or by train.  BY CAR
The distance from the Rome Airport to Roccacasale is 141 km. When leaving the airport follow the green signposts for the Autostrada (highway) and L’Aquila. These lead you onto the Grande Raccordo Anulare, A91, follow this to uscita (exit) 14, the A24 (this is a toll road) signposted to L’Aquila and Pescara. After 30 to 40 minutes take A25 to Pescara and Chieti. Follow this to the exit for Sulmona/Pratola Peligna and then follow signs to Roccacasale. BY TRAIN If you are taking the train you will need to take the express train into Rome Central from the airport first and then find your way to the train station using the Metro to Tiburtina. You can follow the signs to the biglietteria (ticket office) where you can buy tickets to Sulmona or Pratola Peligna and get train information. Or you can buy your ticket online. It costs about 10 euros and takes about 3-4 hours. This is the longest of the three ways but it is a beautiful journey. The train travels slowly through beautiful mountain scenery, stopping at a number of stations, giving you ample time to enjoy the view. BY BUS There is a semi-direct bus from Fiumicino airport to the Sulmona/Pratola25 stop call ProntoBus. It leaves from arrivals at Door 5. It takes about 2 hours with a stop at the Ciampino airport and one in Avezzano. For up to date times and prices go to www.prontobusitalia.com. If you are already in Italy and coming from Rome Central and you want to come by bus you will need to go to the Tiburtina bus station and take the Flixbus to Abruzzo. Again you can order your ticket online and use Sulmona as your destination. It takes two hours with a stop in Avezzano. Both bus companies, as well as the train, have websites that can be translated into English and all three have mobile apps. www.prontobusitalia.it and www.flixbus.it https://www.trenitalia.com/en.html If you are coming from the Rome or Ciampino airports, the best way would be to take the ProntoBus. If you are coming from the center of Rome, the best way is to take the Flixbus. If you are coming from anywhere else in Italy, for example, Florence, the best way is to take the train. We’d like to help you. Send us your questions to la.rocca.mia@outlook.com and we’d be happy to answer them as soon as we can. By the way, if you coming to La Rocca Mia House B&B we would be happy to make the arrangements for you by ordering your tickets and collecting you at the train or bus station and bringing you to the B&B!
