The Wall Street Journal highlights the monastery Abbazia San Pietro in Valle in Umbria. The monastery is refashioned into a rustically simple hotel where you can relax and soak in the gorgeous Italian countryside. While you are there you can explore the ruins of the abandoned medieval village Umbriano, just a short walk away. The monastery also has an exquisite restaurant, Il Cantico, so even if you are not staying the night, be sure to stay for dinner.

I just came across your blog and wish I had found it before my trips to Italy. The information you share is very helpful, and you clearly have a love of Italy.
ReplyDeleteMaybe we should link to each other's blogs?
Either way, yours is very interesting.
