MonasteryStays.com - Booking service for lodging in monasteries in Italy
Staying in a Monastery in Italy
MonasteryStays.com offers online booking services for monasteries and convents in Italy. It offers maps of where the monasteries are located, information about rooms and rates, and lets you book online.
Monasteries are usually operated by monks and nuns, though they sometimes hire others to help out. These are not monastery hotels, which are usually operated as a business and are not run by monks. Monasteries, on the other hand, use the revenue from renting rooms for their charitable causes. MonasteryStays.com offers online reservation for monasteries and convents only, not monastery hotels.
Monasteries seldom offer online booking services as monks prefer working with people face to face. MonasteryStays.com, however, lets the relevant monastery know about the reservation as soon as you make it.
Why stay in a monastery?
Staying in a monastery or a convent in Italy is often cheaper than staying in a hotel and the facilities are more often than not, comparable, if not better. But more importantly, this is probably the best way to experience the true culture and essence of Italy. The only downside is the "curfew" which usually starts at around 9pm. It means that you've to be inside the monastery before that time. Most of the monasteries and convents have this rule in order to allow their monks and nuns handling the reception a good night's sleep so they can be up early in the morning for their religious duties. MonasteryStays.com, however, informs you about which monasteries have this rule so you can be prepared as far as your check-in time is concerned.
