Getting to San Casciano by coach/bus
There are many urban-suburban bus lines connecting Florence to various towns and villages of its province. The line to and from San Casciano in Val di Pesa is served by SITA/Autolinee Chianti Valdarno coaches (blue or white&green).
SITA tickets are sold in many shops and bar in San Casciano and Florence, can also be purchased on board but will cost more (3 euro), so make sure you've bought them before getting on the coach. White and green Autolinee Chianti Valdarno (ACV) coaches are part of the same SITA service.
Tickets are based on kilometres, so when you buy them remember to specify "from Florence to San Casciano in Val di Pesa". There is no difference between single tickets and return tickets, so you could buy both before departing from San Casciano.
A weekly ticket costs 17 euro.
You must stamp the ticket as soon as you get into the coach.
In Florence, the SITA coach terminal is located in "Via Santa Caterina da Siena", just 85 metres far from the central railway station Firenze Santa Maria Novella. Buy a ticket to San Casciano in Val di Pesa (the price is around 3 euros) and get on the coach. The arrival terminal in San Casciano is just below Viale Corsini (locate on map), you have to take a lift or stairs to go up to the village. There are other bus stops in San Casciano before the final one, so you have to ask your local contact which one is the nearest to your accommodation.
