About Abbazia San Pietro in Valle

Abbazia San Pietro in Valle is an 8th-century Benedictine abbey set in the verdant Nera Valley between Spoleto and the Marmore Falls — one of the most historically significant religious buildings in Umbria. The restored abbey church retains its Romanesque character, the cloister arches frame candlelit dinners, and 18 rooms sleeping 43 guests allow the wedding party to stay within the monastic walls. With a complimentary bridal suite, in-house or external catering, marquee options in the gardens, and a sister property (Casale Santa Croce) 3 km away with six apartments, pool, and BBQ, the abbey accommodates both intimate ceremonies and extended weekend celebrations.
