Latest Rieti hotel reviews
icunme Says: Do not miss an opportunity to visit the Lakes of Rieti - the most serene bodies of water, embraced by lush green mountains of every shape.Rieti has the largest number of artificial lakes - 3 which include Salto, Turano and Scandarello. The situation might have been different...
Rieti - Walk in the Steps of Saint Francis
icunme Says: Rieti - the secret jewel in the Franciscan crown - has always been dimmed by the notoriety of Assisi. Now you can experience an official, marked, "Saint Francis Walk" of 80 kilometres through the sacred valley - inaugurated in December 2003, and divided into eight stops that...
baronedivandastad Says: Perhaps the most interesting building in town, the Palazzo Vescovile (Bishops' Palace) is situated right behind the Duomo (Cathedral), and you could easily overlook it. However, its original medieval architecture, and the porticos below should not be missed.
baronedivandastad Says: The Cathedral lies in the main square. It was originally built in the 1200's and, like most other things in this area of Italy, rebuilt and modified several times. The only original bits are the central door under the arches (themselves built two centuries later), the...
baronedivandastad Says: According to the ancient historicians Dionigi di Alicarnasso and Marco Terenzio Varrone, lake Paterno used to lie there where you see Rieti. The two small lakes you see today (Laghi Reatini) are what's left of it after the Romans made an artificial cut on a hill near Marmore...
Grande Albergo Quattro Stagioni
1 Review and 19 Opinions We have stayed at the quattro stagioni for 3 trips. We just bought a house 30 minutes from rieti....
Taberna dei Sabini: Nice Sabine food
baronedivandastad Says: The restaurant is attached to hotel Europa, a stone's throw from Piazza del Rufo (see my things to do tip). Rieti may not be the Italian food capital, but this funny and welcoming couple does a good job. We tasted local antipasti, local olives, local ham, local meat, local...
Gran caffe' Quattro Stagioni: Aperitivo in the main square
baronedivandastad Says: This cafe belongs to the hotel with the same name. We stopped there for aperitivo before dinner. The service was dead slow but the terrace was pretty full. However, it served good stuff and offered us some chips and peanuts, which is always nice. The price was ridiculously...

Rieti - If you liked Assisi - you'll love Rieti!
icunme Says: By car - a great drive from Rome as you pass fields of sunflowers, grazing sheep, and see extraordinary vistas as you travel up the mountains.From the north Take the A1 Firenze-Roma highway, exit at Orte, continue on the Orte-Terni highway and continue in the direction of...
Madonnelle in Borgo San Pietro
icunme Says: We saw this Madona on a street corner as you walk down toward the lake from the Church of San Filippa Mareri. We were told you could still see local people stop and say an "Ave" there to her.
Dip in the lake - Sister style
icunme Says: Here we found the Sisters of Charity of Calcutta doing Mother Teresa's work and taking a dip in the lake on a little break.
Istituto Suore Francescane di Santa Filippa Mareri
icunme Says: Filippa Mareri (died 16 February 1236), an uncanonized saint from the Cicolano, southeast of Rieti, has no full or clearly contemporary "life"; but ironically her reality is in some ways more palpable than that of many canonized saints. The Franciscan nuns that inhabit the...
baronedivandastad Says: There's quite a few Franciscan convents around Rieti. St. Frances (San Francesco) used to retreat in this peaceful area of Italy. By taking a drive to one of these convents you'll get a taste of the idylliac atmosphere he surrounded himself with. The convent I visited is...
Pace e Bene - Peace and Blessings
icunme Says: The quiet friendliness of the people, the serenity of the forests, the calm of the lakes - the abiding spirit of Saint Francis evident in the people and nature. Walking the paths of Saint Francis at Fonte Colombo - sitting in Saint Francis' cave.

Rieti is really a small jewel of a city. Located in a bowl-shaped valley on the left bank of the Velino river, it was built by the Romans in what used to be swampland before Italy's tallest waterfall...
