Non-fiction: Good Night & God Bless by Trish Clark
Despite the weird title and the seemingly off-the-wall premise, Good Night & God Bless (Hidden Spring) is a cool little book whose time has come.
As you will not have guessed from the aforementioned weird ti
tle, Good Night & God Bless is a guide to convent and monastery accommodation in Europe. While in some cases this also means spiritual retreat, it can also just mean inexpensive and interesting accommodation in some very unexpected places.
Produced in classic contemporary guidebook form, the entries are organized by country and city. Each entry offers some history of the property, amenities, cost, local sights and travel highlights. If budget travel is on your agenda, Good Night & God Bless will make a good addition to your travel planning package.
Volume one, available now, covers travel to Austria, the Czech republic and Italy. Volume two will cover the convents and monasteries of France, Ireland and the UK and will be available early in 2010.

There is another way to find out about monasteries in Italy. Have a look at www.monasterystays.com as it is an online booking service for over 500 monasteries in Italy. You can book a run of places without having to speak Italian or wait for answers. I'm using them for my trip early next year. Recommend checking the site out.
