“Very good location and very modern and comfortable facilities.”
Can you imagine that I was totally alone in the whole pilgrims house? This was one and the only experience. The museum employee and the host was very helpful and nice. The building and facilities are modern. The bed was comfortable and the room was warm. I can highly recommend to all solo travelers.

“A special hostel on the VF”
Sleeping in such rich history was unique. It was in a great location for the Via Francigena. Crisp cotton bedsheets and towels were a comfortable bonus after walking some distance. Supper for €20 x 3 courses was tasty. Grazie mille

“Beautiful location!”
The historical building is very nice, the dorms are spacious and the heating was on (end of winter/beginning of spring, so that was excellent). There is a good restaurant next door which os also a nice option for someone who doesn’t want to eat in-house.
