About Abbazia San Faustino
Abbazia San Faustino is a 13th-century Benedictine abbey perched at 600 metres elevation in Pietralunga, deep in the Umbrian hills. Built on the ruins of a Roman settlement and Lombard tower, the abbey was completed by Benedictine monks in 1289 and has been restored as a resort that preserves its medieval character — original frescoes, handcrafted ceramics, wrought-iron lamps, and the heavy stone architecture of monastic life. The property includes a restaurant, swimming pool, and its own craft brewery (San Biagio beer). During WWII, the abbey served as headquarters for a partisan brigade, a history documented in 'The Consul' by American Consul Walter Orebaugh. Residenze d'Epoca Silver Crown certified.
