Foresteria Monastero di Santa Chiara in Camerino is the guesthouse of the monastery of the Poor Clares, in Borgo San Venanzio. It is part of a new wooden building, built after the 2016 earthquake and opened in September 2018. It stands on part of the area once occupied by the monastery's vegetable gardens and also includes the dormitories and the church. The monastery dates back to the 14th century. In 1483 the Poor Clares settled here, among them Camilla Battista da Varano, canonized in 2010.

Foresteria Monastero di Santa Chiara: where it is

The guesthouse is in Camerino, in Borgo San Venanzio, in the smaller wing of the monastery complex, the one enclosing the garden. The historic monastery, damaged first by the 1997 earthquake and then by the 2016 one, was declared unusable. The Poor Clares now have a temporary wooden home, and the guesthouse is part of that building.

Foresteria Monastero di Santa Chiara: services

The hospitality is that of a religious house. It is aimed at parish groups and associations, and at those looking for spaces of silence, reflection, retreat and formation, with the option of sharing moments of prayer or conversation with the Poor Clares. It is not a hotel in the strict sense: the property is classified as a hostel.

The monastery also has a guesthouse in the north wing. It was badly damaged by the 2016 tremors and funding has been granted for its restoration. Before planning a stay it is advisable to ask the monastery which spaces can be used today.

For other accommodation options, see the pages Camerino agriturismo and Camerino B&Bs.
