My daughter and I are doing a Rick Steves Heart of Italy tour in June. We've never been to Italy and are so excited. We are flying in and out of Rome and have a few days before and after the tour. We are on a budget and are looking at trying to stay at some Monasteries/Convents in Rome, Venice and possibly Assisi, etc. We are open to any suggestions for locations :-).
I have looked at Monastery Stays website and read some on this forum. It sounds like it is a good way to go. I also have looked at the Religious Stay in Italy site that looks a little more "figure it out on your own."
Any thoughts or suggestions on how to book these places and where to venture off to from Rome for a first-time trip would be so appreciated! I am so thankful that most of the time we'll be on the tour!
Thank you!
