Product Description
The Australian Financial Review - April 18-20 2008
Sydney writer Trish Clark has completed the perfect book for those with a passion for travel and matters ecclesiastic. Her guide to monasteries and convents in Italy, Austria and the Czech Republic makes fascinating reading, with cassocks full of interesting snippets as the cloisters and their secrets open as accommodation. Clark lists open houses of religious orders (some with fine food); spiritual retreats (quieter establishments) and pilgrimages, as well as details of places of interest nearby. In lieu of 5-star amenities, think curfews - but the hospitality is A1.
Alexandra James, Weekend Australian - April 26-27 2008
Billed as volume one, and covering Italy, the Czech Republic and Austria, this is a well-ordered handbook to convent and monastery accommodation by Australian traveller Trish Clark. She has a second volume planned (France, Ireland and England), which proves there must be little shortage of blessed beds. The author describes her chosen places as "unique, safe, comfortable and friendly", and they seem budget-friendly too. Don't be put off by the thought of serious seminary-style lodgings: many of the inclusions sound divine (in a much more secular sense), such as Villa Helios on the isle of Capri with views of the Bay of Naples, lush gardens, an orchard and a historic chapel.
