I will be visiting Florence and Tuscany in Sept, on a tight budget. Would someone be able to suggest a convent with single w/bath?

http://www.santasusanna.org Scroll down the page to FLORENCE to CASA SANTO NOME DI GESÙ. It is across the river, away from the madding crowd. I had a single room with bathroom, overlooking the lovely walled garden. Dinner is also available if you wish, but there are places to eat close by. It was about a 15 minute walk from the train station. price on the website is Euro 60. Trip Advisor has reviews. I'll be staying there again next year. The location was ideal. Buona fortuna.

Thanks, I've been to that website and with your recommendation, I will ask if rooms are available during the timeframe I'll be there.

Hi
I've found a great site for monasteries and convents in Italy. www.monasterystays.com. It has lots of places all over Italy and gets good reviews form past clients.
Should try it for your trip
