If you wish to cook in your house with other guests, you are free to do so. We can recommend grocery stores in nearby towns.
Tips for the housekeeping staff are not included and are appropriate. The Abbazia di Spineto is a special place that hosts Terra Summer Italia out of a bond of affection and a communality of concern for our environment and young people. As you end your stay at the Abbazia, you may wish to leave something for the staff that helped, cleaned, and made sure your stay was special.
We thank you.
