Richard Sennott- Religious hostelry in the provinces of Tuscany and Umbria are plentiful and open to the Public. The stay at monasteries and convents is very affordable and offers sanctuary from the hustle and bustle of tourist travel This is the room where "The English Patient ", was filmed at the Sant'Anna in Camprena, a former Benedictine monastery that features a formal garden full of olive and lemon trees. In the chapel are frescoes by Sodoma (1477-1549) and the rooms are filled with antique furniture.
