AFTER CENTURIES OF OBLIVION, THE ABBEY OF SAN GIUSTO HAS FINALLY BEEN RESTORED TO ITS FORMER GRANDEUR AND CAN BE EXPLORED IN ITS ENTIRETY. THE ABBEY IS ALSO HOME TO AN ORGANIC FARM PRODUCING HERBAL EXTRACTS AND ESSENTIAL OILS, A B&B-AGRITURISMO, AND AN INCOMPARABLE BACKDROP FOR SPECIAL EVENTS. TODAY, AS IN THE MIDDLE AGES, SAN GIUSTO IS A SITE OF RARE CALM AND BEAUTY.
visits
Come see the abbey yourself: the valley’s natural charm combines with centuries of human craftsmanship to produce a truly unique vista.
B&B AGRITURISMO
To stay at San Giusto and spend several nights there is a special experience: perfect silence, the twinkling of the stars in the night sky, and the sensation of waking up in a place where time stands still.
EVENTS
The abbey’s large rooms are the perfect backdrops for weddings, parties, seminars, and conferences, and offer a suitable setting for every kind of event.
SUSTAINABILITY
Not only are our agricultural operations 100% organic, but we are proud to be ecosustainable and energy self-sufficient, with solar panels on our barns and biomass heating.
THE TOWER
Few ever have the chance to sleep in a medieval tower – but at San Giusto you can do just that! The view from the terrace on top of the tower is magnificent, the stone interiors are richly evocative, and the thick walls create an atmosphere of otherworldly strength and silence.
ANIMALS
Dogs, cats, sheep, dogs, and horses live together as friends: the abbey’s animal residents, just as important as its human ones, live freely, happily, and respected by all.
ORGANIC FARM
Nature and the land come first: we are proud to be a working farm. We produce lavender, lavandino (lavandula hybrida), and helichrysum, from which we extract essential oils. From our 200 olive trees we gather organic olive oil, and from our fields we harvest hay for our horses and donkeys.
HORSES
In the expansive pastures surrounding the abbey, our horses roam freely. For those who love to ride, Mauro Checcoli, two-time Olympic gold medallist in eventing, offers occasional training sessions based on the Caprilli method, the natural system of ethological horsemanship.
A WAY OF LIFE
We have brought back to life a marvelous place that had been abandoned and forgotten; now, with love and openness, we seek to share it with those who wish to experience its magical serenity and its harmonious balance with the surrounding nature.
