Travel from Rome
It is possible to get a train from Rome to Pescara but it is much quicker to take a coach from Tiburtina coach station (right next to Tiburtia train station) to Val Vomano (25 minutes from us) where we can arrange pick up.
Transfer from Rome's airports takes you to Termini which is the central train and metro station. From Fiumicino airport take the express train (costs € 9.50, duration 30 minutes), from Tiburtina is on Metro Line B (the blue one) 4 stops north of Termini.
There is also a slower and cheaper train which goes directly from the train station at Fiumicino airport to Tiburtina. There are normally four trains an hour and the journey typically takes 48 minutes.
Another option is to take the Prontobus coach from Fiumicino aiport to Chieti Scalo near Pescara e.g. 18:00 departure arriving 21:00. Prontobus website
