Historic spaces
What is a Historic House?
The historic house designation is given only to buildings that have significant historic and artistic value and importance, often carefully and conscientiously restored to preserve their authenticity, according to a strict classification by the Region of Umbria.
By choosing the Abbazia, you can immerse yourself in the history and charm of a bygone era.

Padre Guardiano Lodging
Part of the 16th-century building is now used to welcome our guests when they check in. An elegant and intimate bar is right next to the reception, providing table, room and garden service.
Refectory
This picturesque room is used for breakfast. The place where the Benedictine monks ate their meals has, therefore, retained the same purpose. The room features an ancient barrel vault and the original pink stone floor. Here, you can imagine the monks walking around with sandals and then savoring the taste of simplicity on the ancient refectory tables.
Arcade
It is located on the first floor and features the 16th-century fresco of the Ancajani family, once used by monks to pray and meditate. Now, made comfortable by cozy sofas, the Arcade is an ideal setting to rest your mind and admire, from a unique perspective, the Romanesque bell tower with the backdrop of Mount Solenne.
The Cloisters
The 14th-century small cloister welcomes visitors with a fresco of Christ and leads into the guest quarters.
An ancient well and staircase round out the setting, creating a peaceful atmosphere.
The Romanesque cloister is open on three sides with porticoes with ribbed vaults, while in the center is a pagan altar from the 1st century BC. The sundial and the door leading to the church complete the cloister, enhanced by two high reliefs of St. Peter and St. Paul. A peaceful and beautiful place where time stands still and the soul is set free.
A dreamy film set, whose beauty wins the hearts of directors and actors.
The Abbazia has been the backdrop for films such as Monicelli's "Armata Brancaleone" and Comencini's "Marcellino Pane e Vino," but also for more recent productions, such as Carlo Carlei's "Padre Pio" with Sergio Castellitto and "Don Matteo" with Terence Hill, up to Pupi Avati's "Dante." Each film has left its mark on this unique place, making it even more special and evocative.

Abbey Church
Erected in the 8th century at the behest of Faroaldo II, Lombard Duke of Spoleto, on the remains of an ancient Roman temple, the Abbazia di San Pietro in Valle holds a unique artistic and archaeological heritage in Umbria and Italy, so much so that it has been declared a national monument. Inside the abbey church, it is possible to admire the precious Lombard antipendium, the largest collection of Roman sarcophagi in Umbria, and the Romanesque fresco cycle from 1190, which were studied by Giotto and Cavallini before they created the 'Stories of St. Francis' in Assisi. The Abbazia di San Pietro in Valle was, in fact, the most important painting site in Umbria until the completion of the Basilica di San Francesco in Assisi.
The Church of the Abbazia San Pietro in Valle is a precious jewel waiting to shine again. In fact, its interior frescoes are currently being restored and the church cannot be visited until 2025 by arrangement of the Parish of Ferentillo. For information contact Don Simone +393299257088.
