A Medieval Convent on the Sabinian Hills 🏰🌿


The experience

An old gentleman, living alone in a tiny medieval monastery near Casperia, would be happy to share an exceptional residence in beautiful surroundings with a person – or a young couple – interested to such a place and to visit Tuscia, Umbria, Abruzzi and of course Rome. The village is quite alive. Homegrown food, vegetables, eggs and cheeses are available in the farms close by. I expect help for homekeeping and gardening. Lot of free time is left
