Tips from locals
Wonderful day trip to the spiritual La Verna, retreat of St. Francis of Assisi, set in the most glorious woodland.
Founded by S. Francis of Assisi, is a very special place for the Spirit, for Nature, History and Arts.
This still inhabited medieval monastery of St.Francis and the surrounding ancient beech forests are a must-see. Just 1.5 hour walk from the property. At the Sanctuary there is a giftshop and a pilgrim canteen which offers a great fixed menu for a very reasonable price. There is also a great restaurant outside the Sanctuary near the carpark which offers fresh pasta and local delicacies such as truffles and porcini.
