Foresteria S. Scolastica In Subiaco

Very good location to use as a base for visiting Subiaco, but especially the two Monasteries of Santa Scolastica and San Benedetto, with the Sacro Speco. Spartan rooms with less than impeccable cleanliness, good food and fantastic location.

It is worth staying at least one night to fully breathe in all the faith that this place emanates, asking the monks to participate in the functions is worth it

Serene, quiet and relaxing place, surrounded by greenery and with a wide view of the territory. Courteous and efficient table service. It deserves a stay without a doubt.

stayed with a group of 50 people. Beautiful place, excellent treatment

All good, except for the poor wifi reception

An excellent place to rest and meditate.

Lunch yesterday June 1, 2025 in the restaurant: we chose the fixed price menu €28 including: Italian appetizer plus hot tripe, egg tagliatelle with courgettes and bacon, braised veal with parsley potatoes and mixed salad, sponge cake dessert with ice cream and berries, water and service charge. Everything was excellent and plentiful, we asked for half portions for the first course and they were still plentiful as well as excellent. Clean and welcoming place, very kind staff.

Adequate welcome, clean and very basic rooms. Adequate breakfast. Fascinating setting.

We ate at Forestiera as a pilgrim group from UK of 46 people . We traveled there from Rome to visit the spectacular monasteries of St Benedict and St Scolastica. We booked in advance and the large private room was already ready for us laid out on two monastery style tables complete with bread and wine. The four course meal consisted of an amazing anti pasto of salamis and cheese followed by gnocchi in a delicious sauce, followed by a beef casserole with roast potatoes and salad. Then a home made slice of apricot tart . The service , taste and presentation of the meal felt like a wedding reception. All the pilgrims were thrilled with the meal and afterwards we all sat in the sunshine overlooking the stunning views to drink coffees. I would definitely return to eat at the Forestiera.

Ci siamo fermati a pranzo nel ristorante della foresteria dopo aver visitato il Santo Speco ed il monastero di Santa Scolastica per un pranzo leggero. L'idea era di un pranzo veloce, in realtà abbiamo trovato un luogo semplice nel suo interno ma con pietanze gustose, genuine e ben fatte. Le porzioni erano molto abbondanti. Consigliamo quindi di fermarsi assolutamente ma di considerare che si tratta di un pasto più che completo (alla sera abbiamo saltato cena!) a prezzi da foresteria.
