In the heart of Ciociaria, within the characteristic historical center of Veroli, a Social Tourism project comes to life. The idea was born in Panorama Veroli 2009, within the Diaconia Social Cooperative, the body managing the services of the Diocese of Frosinone-Veroli-Ferentino. Three buildings, owned by the Diocese, were identified among the characteristic alleys of the Verolano center. Over time, they had lost their original use and, having now fallen into a state of complete or partial abandonment, they represented a structural danger and contributed to the sense of abandonment and depopulation that the village of Veroli, like many others in our country, unfortunately, has been and is forced to suffer.

The “mother” principles on which the concept of Social Tourism is based, in the context in which we operate, have the clear objective of increasing the employment rate in the area of young people and people with social, physical and mental distress, the so-called “disadvantaged” subjects, who within our project, find their professional dimension, carrying out very important tasks: welcoming tourists, property maintenance, transport and gardening. Furthermore, the launch of our project has had a clear economic impact on the area, stimulating the creation of “accessory” activities to tourism and encouraging the opening of other structures, which are not perceived as competitors, but as partners, with whom to establish collaborations and “network” to achieve “better and sooner” the objective of becoming an attractive tourist destination.

Monastery of St. Erasmus
The “heart” of our project, the idea that becomes concrete! A Benedictine Monastery from the year 1000, renovated in all its parts. Almost six years of careful restoration work, in full respect of the ancient stones and with the attention not to alter their state of conservation and the maintenance of their history and spirituality. The “cells” of the Monks that become lodgings, the ancient “refectory” that becomes a restaurant, the “cellar” that comes to life with new light. Twenty-five beds, in single rooms, double rooms and a suite, two Monastero S.erasmoristorante rooms, a hanging garden, the stone courtyard with the wood-fired oven, a conference room allow today the Monastero di Sant'Erasmo to represent a unique testimony of the conversion of a historic building into a “modern” and authentic place of hospitality and location for events. Also located within the historic center, it is easily accessible and despite being in the heart of the village, it retains an atmosphere of exclusivity and privacy within it. In May 2014, the Monastery of Sant'Erasmo opened to the public as a location for private and public events, demonstrations, ceremonies, festivals and conferences. In 2015, the tourist reception activity will also begin, with bed and breakfast service, half board or full board option, organization of tourist packages in the area and experiential holidays.

Smoking is prohibited throughout the property. Reception is open at set times.
