Abbazia San Pietro - Umbria - Italy
 
 

In a privileged location, where pretty valleys flow down from the high mountain pastures and peaks, between the Marmore Waterfalls and Spoleto is located the Abbey San Pietro in Valle, a stunning historical residence founded in the 8th century. The legend says that two hermits arrived in the area and built a hermitage, which became a worship place for the local people. Later on, Faroaldo II, having received in a dream a vision of St. Peter, built the church to be dedicated to St. Peter and the Monastery in the spot where the little oratory had been built by the  two hermits.
Surrounded by a thick and luxurious vegetation, where the waters are still fresh and crystalline, this splendid residence guaranties a peaceful and restful stay, in a unique,  mystic and out of the time atmosphere after being welcomed  by Federica, Letizia and Chiara the three owner sisters who are managing the historical hotel. The rooms, some located in the antique cells of the Benedictine monks, and others  in the forestry of the convent are all different from one another: some have a chimney, others shelves and nooks, wall closets, vestibules and loopholes and breathtaking views over the valley. Here, only the singing of birds or the sun rays showing up thro
ugh the breakings of the shutters, invite you to open your eyes. After that, a healthy and energetic breakfast will get you started to discover the spectacular surroundings and activities that the area has to offer. In the evening, the notes of Vivaldi, Mozart or Bach, accompanying a delightful dinner prepared with fresh products and traditional recipes, accompanied by a wide range of excellent local and national wines, at the Restaurant “Il Cantico” or a  suggestive night walk under the starry sky, will have completed an unforgettable day.
