abbazia di farfa印象

This area is known for its olive oil and the journey to this lovely old Abby is bordered by olive groves on either side of the road. It takes roughly one hour to get there from the centre of Rome and the roads are very good. The rolling hills are also pleasing to the eye. A worthwhile day trip for a change from the city.

I have been to Rome, Florence, Sienna and Pisa - and this lovely little church competes with the best of them! Beautiful paintings and frescos ... and not crowded!

I've known Farfa for more than twenty years, and always visit the abbey and surrounding hamlet with pleasure. Even more so now that traffic has been excluded, and a car park provided along the fairly recent bypass. Historical ups and downs have meant that it has remained tiny and only relatively recently restored, painted and tidied up, attracting many more tourists. Farfa is basically laid out round two small streets to one side of the abbey itself, containing different shops selling linen, antiques etc plus the large Abbey shop in the courtyard selling herbal products and so on. If you take the tour of the library and other abbey buildings, visit the church and its courtyards, and have lunch in the vicinity, you can spend a very pleasant and instructive half day there. There is also an antique fair in Farfa on every first Sunday of the month. Although low in the valley, there are some pleasant views to add to the restfulness of little old stone houses snugly built against a backdrop of woods. You get a splendid view of Farfa and the whole valley from the terrace/belvedere next to the Torre Ugonesca at the top of Montopoli, the village on the other side.

Visited the Romanesque abbey at Farfa on Saturday just as a wedding was about to take place. What a perfect spot. Medieval abbey tucked in a valley with a cluster of houses, a shop or two and a pizzeria. Plus, lots of cats! Beautiful.

The abbey is well worth a day trip fom Rome. The setting is stunning, surrounded by gently sloping hills with olive groves and litle vineyards all around. You can only see inside the abbey with a guided tour which takes about an hour. It's delightful - particularly the library. You can visit the church without a tour, and that is also beautiful. The tiny village is crammed with little artisanal shops but it's not crowded and you can pick up some fresh ricotta and local vegetables as well as locally baked cakes and bread. I would guess that now is the best season to visit - the countryside is exploding with spring green and there are flowers everywhere, including orchids, cyclamen, poppies, borage and many many more.

I've been to Farfa many times, taking my guests. It never ceases to delight no matter how often I go. If you are lucky enough there may be an English tour round the abbey and then you can see the medieval library with beautiful hand crafted manuscripts.The tiny village is a gem, with it's high quality craft shops and trattoria but if you want the shops don't go on Mondays when they are closed.About 10 k further on is the largest, and oldest olive tree in Europe, over 2000 years old, and still bearing fruit.

The place is peaceful and very pleasant for a couple of hours The internal part of the church is beautiful. The countryside all around has beautiful views I was expecting more though. The guided tour is alright, the cloister is not best part. The new museum is interesting, especially for kids.

The imposing Farfa Abbey combines an ancient monastery (with one of the oldest herb gardens in Europe) with modern works of art in the surrounding gardens. There are some interesting offerings from local industries - such as linen (check out the tea towels and table runners), jewellery and great food products. Children can play in the park and the cafe and restaurant close by means you can spend a leisurely few hours.

It's a delicious piece of medioevo near Rome. One of the best restored Abbey in Italy, the Farfa's Abbey is in the road of St. Francesco Valle Santa. Who wants to see something different ... Farfa Abbey is a good place in Sabina's Land.

On a spring evening we attended a free concert at the abbey church, very intimate experience as the 12th century church is not very big.and the orchestra is very close to the audience. It was special to be amongst a local audience and share their appreciation of the performance. The historic location added to the experience.
