The room was spartan but immaculate. The bathroom spotless as well. The nuns were sweet. Breakfast was not extensive but was of good quality, with nice pastry offerings. It is far from site-seeing stuff but is very secure and a good value. We were amused to see a number of 'It is forbidden' signs and the reply email to the reservation that was filled with all caps and multiple exclamation point email screaming about parking. That reinforced my view of how a young nun's life might be, but in a nice way, really. The nuns smiled at us and were kind. It was a good and interesting Italian experience.
