"Get thee to a nunnery" said Hamlet to Ophelia. Turns out that's good advice for anyone traveling to Italy, where the price of staying in a convent or monastery is considerably less than even a moderate hotel room in the country. June and Anne Walsh are a mother-daughter team who've scounted out the best and most interesting convents and monasteries in Italy that are open to guests. The women share their discoveries in their book Bed and Blessings Italy: A guide to Convents and Monasteries Available for Overnight Lodging.
