Max gave our family of 5 from the US a great day! Subiaco and Montecassino are breathtaking places to get away from the hustle and bustle of Rome for a day with Benedict and Scholastica. Max is a wonderful guide and we are glad to have made a new friend in Italy!

Luogo incantevole. Bellissimi entrambi i monasteri Emil,paese di Subiaco. Suggestivo il laghetto con la cascata.Peccato che il monastero di Santa Scolastica, avesse una parte ricoperta per lavori di restauro, però ho avuto l' occasione di visitare due grotte segrete che non sono sempre aperte al pubblico e sono rimasta incantata
