The modern monastery of the Benedictines lies at the outskirts of Rome in a quiet, green setting. The railway station from which you can go fast and uncomplicated to the center of Rome lies 10 walking minutes away from the monastery. At this place you can enjoy a monastery vacation that offers both: Quiet and contemplation in the monastery with participation in the hourly prayers as well as sightseeing and shopping in one of the most beautiful and imposing cities of the world!

Taking in guests

In the monastery live about 20 Benedictine sisters from all over the world. Sister Pia, Sister Sophia and sister Luzia come from Germany and Switzerland. The guests are very warmly welcome to take part in the hourly prayers and listen to the chants. The sisters also offer ecclesiastical conversations, faithful to the motto: 'We are there, but we do not push forward'. What a sympathetic attitude! The guest house of the Benedictines is really conducted with a lot of heart and soul.

Prayer times:

• 6:15 Laudes

• 7:00 Holy mass

• 11:40 Midday prayers

• 18:00 Vesper

Lodging and catering

The informal house includes more than 30 guest-rooms (single room and double room). The rooms are simply yet cozily set up and all have a private bath.

The guests are catered with a tasty breakfast.  Also dinner can be booked in the monastery.

• Breakfast: 7:30 - 9:00

• Dinner: 19:00

There are several comfortable corners for sitting and relaxing. Also a television space, a big bookshelf with German-speaking books (religion, psychology, life help etc.) and an internet connection are accessible for free. The cloister disposes of several smaller prayer spaces and a church. Here everybody certainly finds a quiet little corner and who wants to, is also invited to sit in the beautiful garden of the sisters.

The closing time of the monastery is 21:00 o'clock. Who stays away for longer receives the key for the night entrance.
