Many tourists and pilgrims choose hotels or Airbnbs for their stay in Rome. But there's another option. Houses that are hostel-like accommodations managed by religious sisters. Throughout the Roman province, there are about 400.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
FABIO ROCCHI But these houses are not just a place to sleep and have breakfast. They also offer the possibility of living in community, as is the case of the house, San Giuseppe della Montagna.<\/p>\n\n\n\n MOTHER ISABEL CA\u00d1ADA Another feature that makes these homes special is their price. It is much cheaper than a hotel because, as it is managed by non-profit organizations, the money covers the costs and what is left over is used for internal projects or charitable activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n FABIO ROCCHI 2025 is almost completely booked. Their phones have been ringing constantly and the most common responses is this: Thousands of people are choosing this option for the Jubilee. While it is a good thing, it has raised two main concerns for the sisters. The first is security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n FABIO ROCCHI The other concern is healthcare. These houses are also home to elderly members of the congregations, so healthcare has become an important issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n FABIO ROCCHI GISELA SOTILLO<\/strong> The religious sisters are renovating these houses to prep for the Holy Year as there will be record numbers of tourists and pilgrims coming to Rome in 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n CA In addition to hotels and Airbnbs, pilgrims traveling to Rome for the Jubilee will have the possibility to stay in accommodations managed by religious orders.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":758,"featured_media":69774,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[24,159,25],"tags":[],"acf":{"video":"https:\/\/youtu.be\/laWgfFyWbfw","video_descarga":"https:\/\/attuale.romereports.com\/news\/bcasereligiosegiubileoeng.mp4","international_url":"https:\/\/attuale.romereports.com\/news\/bcasereligiosegiubileoint.mp4","type":"rrp","newsletter":"si"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/69777"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/758"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=69777"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/69777\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":69779,"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/69777\/revisions\/69779"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/69774"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=69777"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=69777"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=69777"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
President, Italian Religious Hospitality Association<\/strong>
Almost all religious orders and congregations have a home in Rome. Many became vacant due to the shortage of vocations. So they were then filled by pilgrims and tourists coming to the capital.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Vacation Home, San Giuseppe della Montagna<\/strong>
We always say: this is not a hotel; it is a vacation house run by sisters. And we give pilgrims the opportunity to celebrate the Eucharist with us or to come with us to the chapel. People look for you as a nun to tell you their stories, and that is a small detail that sets us apart from the others.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
President, Italian Religious Hospitality Association<\/strong>
An average hotel in Rome costs about $130 for a double room. And the average cost for these religious houses is around $80. This makes a difference and allows pilgrims who have limited financial means to still come to Rome for the Jubilee.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sorry, but there is no room.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
President, Italian Religious Hospitality Association<\/strong>
We have to ensure that everyone is safe and that nothing happens.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
President, Italian Religious Hospitality Association<\/strong>
People will come from all over the world, even from very remote, very poor areas. This could also create health problems.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Vacation Home, San Juan de Ribera<\/strong>
We have been informed that Rome has a specialized health department that will be taking care of receiving so many people. If there is any kind of problem, we will have a direction to go in.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
