Casa Religiosa di Ospitalità · Assisi
Stay in the heart
of Assisi, in a
living convent.
Quiet, welcoming rooms in a living religious community, just minutes on foot from the Basilica of Saint Francis and his tomb.
Welcome to San Pietro
Come to Assisi.
Leave with stillness.
Abbazia San Pietro welcomes pilgrims, church groups, families and individual guests who come to Assisi for pilgrimage, spiritual retreat or a quieter rhythm of life.
The house is simple and sincere: a place to rest, pray and encounter one of Italy’s most remarkable sacred cities.
A personal portrait
Welcome to the Abbey.
Walk from Assisi’s sacred streets into the cloister, look down from a bedroom window, pause among the vines and meet the Sisters who keep San Pietro a living house of prayer.

and serenity.
The hospitality offered at San Pietro expresses the mission of its religious community. Guests share an atmosphere of simplicity and sobriety, in harmony with the prayer life of the house.

The rooms
Rest, simply.
Quiet, functional rooms offer what is needed for a peaceful stay. Single, twin, triple and family arrangements are available; every request is confirmed personally by the community.
A living monument
Older than the Assisi most visitors know.

Seen around the Abbey
Small details.
Long memories.
The things that make San Pietro personal: flowers in the cloister, vines and grapes below the old stone walls, sacred art, and views that open suddenly across Umbria.
Who we are
A house kept alive by prayer.
The abbey is cared for by the Suore Vittime Espiatrici di Gesù Sacramentato, often known as the Sacramentine Sisters. The congregation was founded in Naples in 1878 by Saint Maria Cristina Brando.
Their life centres on the Eucharist, community and service. Here in Assisi, the Sisters care for the house, welcome its guests and pray for everyone who enters.
“We are here to keep this place a house of prayer, welcome and quiet reflection.”Read the story of the Sisters
