Enchanting Venice is at the top of the list for couples dreaming of a romantic European vacation. But its pricey reputation forces many people to put their plans on hold or opt for an antiseptic hotel outside the historic centre.
For a true taste of Italian life at a bargain price, why not consider a genuine monastery or convent for accommodation on your next visit to Italy? Monastery Stays is a unique booking service that allows you to choose among hundreds of rooms operated by monks & nuns.
Low rates and great locations make staying in a monastery a very appealing option. A recent search of the site’s database revealed a double room with private bath for only €92.50 ($120 CAD) in Venice.
Located near several plush hotels in the heart of the Castello district, Suore Figlie di San Giuseppe del Caburlotto, is only a few minutes walk from St Mark’s Square or the Rialto Bridge, making it a perfect choice for couples looking for romantic photo-ops. While the building is historic, the rooms have been renovated and offer heating and private bathroom facilities.
Monastery Stays offers hundreds of choices in Italy so they are worth considering if you're exploring other regions of Italy. Choose from monastery and convent accommodations in Rome, Florence, Assisi, Puglia and more.
