What our guests say

  • Posizione tranquilla e silenziosa, proprio nelle viuzze del centro storico, praticamente un tuffo nel passato.

  • Dopo una tappa lunga, bagnata e fangosa del cammino di San Benedetto, arrivare nell’alloggio di Flavio è stato quanto di meglio potevamo chiedere.

    Nicola January 2026 · Airbnb
  • Moderno (e quindi comodo ed equipaggiato) ma coerente e carino col contesto.

  • Bank and pharmacy about 100 metres away
  • Historic squares and the Rocca Abbaziale a few minutes’ walk away
  • The Aniene river a short distance away

Practical information

Arrival and stay

Il Rifugio nel Vicolo Via Palestro, 21, Subiaco

Check-in

15:00–21:00

Check-out

by 10:00

Good to know before you leave

The apartment is in the historic quarter and cannot be reached by car right to the door. There is no private parking: you park for free nearby and walk the last stretch through the lanes, with a few steps.

How to get here, step by step
  1. Park nearby

    Before you arrive, Flavio tells you where to leave the car and which way to walk.

  2. Don’t follow the sat nav to the door

    Some navigation apps suggest routes through the historic centre that are not suitable for cars. Set the recommended car park as your destination, not the apartment’s address.

  3. The last stretch is on foot

    If you’re travelling with bulky luggage or have reduced mobility, write to us before you leave so we can plan your arrival.

  4. Let yourself in

    The keys are in a key safe: you receive the instructions before you arrive. Please let us know your expected arrival time in advance.

What to see in Subiaco

Subiaco is a village in the upper Aniene Valley, at the foot of the Simbruini Mountains. Here Saint Benedict lived as a hermit and founded his first monasteries, and here the river runs clear between rocks and woods.

I’m Flavio, a canoe slalom athlete: I travel a lot for races and training, and I know how much it matters to find, at the end of a long day, a simple, well-kept and peaceful place.

I created Il Rifugio nel Vicolo to offer exactly that: a home where you feel welcomed as among friends, with the attention to detail I’d like to find myself when I travel.
