Does anyone know about lodging at monastaries in Rome? Any recommendations?

Hi John, <BR> <BR> Pick up 2 books: "Bed & Blessings Italy" and "Lodging IN Italy's Monasteries". We just finished booking our stays in Florence, Rome & Naples, all in Convents/Monasteries!! We did it by the book! While I was in Florence last spring, I met people who stay in convents and went to visit one in Florence. It was absolutely beautiful and quiet & clean, not to mention safe!! <BR>The average price for convent stays is about $30-$40 including breakfast & bath! Check it out!!!

www.romeguide.it look under religious instiutes in the accommodation section. I booked my convent accommodation in June via this site. There are a variety to choose from, some have web sites so that you can view the room, tarriff, and curfew if applicable.

Dottie, Dottie! <BR> <BR>Tell us which convent you saw in Florence!

Betsey, in response to which convent did I visit in Florence last spring: <BR> <BR>Istituto Oblate Dell 'Assunsione <BR>Borgo Pinti, 15 <BR>Fax # 011-39-055-23 46 291 <BR> <BR>Beautiful interior Gardens, quiet, clean rooms, w/ antiques. We spoke to one of the sisters who told us to book 6mos in advance! This convent is about 2-3 short blocks from the Post Office. It's listed in the book: Bed & Blessings Italy!
