Subiaco

"Nestled in the lush greenery of the Aniene Valley, Subiaco is a hidden gem just an hour’s drive from Rome. Famous for its monastic history, Subiaco is home to the Sacred Convent of Saint Benedict and the Monastery of Santa Scolastica, both offering an insightful glimpse into medieval monastic life. The town is also renowned for its picturesque streets and traditional Italian charm. A visit to Subiaco isn’t complete without exploring the Rocca Abbaziale, a fortress offering panoramic views of the valley below. Subiaco’s blend of spiritual heritage and natural beauty makes it a serene escape from the bustle of Rome. For lunch, reserve at Agriturismo La Parata."
