The
Abbeys,
Basilicas and Monasteries of the Tuscan countryside and
villages are sometimes overlooked as we enthusiastically feast on
the masterpieces in the churches of Florence, Sienna and the other
"art" cities of Tuscany. In fact there are Abbeys, Basilicas, Monasteries, Hermitages and Parish Churches
in every corner of Tuscany, many of them of great architectural
beauty and interest, and often in wonderful locations. One or two,
such as the
Abbey
of San Galgano,
are ruins, but most are very well-preserved and often fulfilling
their religious purposes. Gregorian Chant may still be heard
several times a day at Sant'Antimo
and some monasteries offer accommodation.

Would
you like to stay in a restored 9th Century monastery?
A unique place to stay in Tuscany! The mediaeval
Canonica di Greve is located just 3 km from
Greve in
Chianti,
in the foothills of Monte S. Michele where the summer heat
is relieved by cool breezes. The Canonica offers
five bedrooms for up to 10 persons plus all modern
facilities. The Canonica is furnished with antiques and opens onto an internal cloister with upper and lower level loggias. Here you can dine, talk, read, sunbath and relax in complete privacy and tranquility.

Greve.
