Fodor's Review:

Twelve nuns run this convent, which is minutes from the Duomo. Rooms are spotlessly clean and simple; some of them have views of the cupola, and others look out onto a carefully tended garden where you are welcome to relax. Several rooms have three and four beds, making them well suited for families. Curfew is at 11:30 PM. You can join mass every morning at 7:30. For an additional three euros, you can get a simple Continental breakfast, and the nuns provide half or full pension for groups of 10 or more. None of the nuns speak English, and they don't have a Web presence, so unless you speak Italian, the best way to book is by fax. Pros: Bargain price. Cons: Curfew, no credit cards.
