A sacred place along an ancient path

“Stand by the roads, and look, and ask for the ancient paths, where the good way is; and walk in it, and find rest for your souls.”

- Creator

Fonte di Vorno is a sacred place on an ancient path —a 16-bedroom refuge for pilgrims and rest seekers on one of Europe's most famous routes.

Our vision is to:

  • Serve and meet the practical needs of the pilgrim by providing a place where walkers can gather, rest, share stories, and form community with others walking the Via Francigena.

  • Create a welcoming and beautiful place where individuals and groups can retreat, slow down and reorient themselves.

  • Provide opportunities for others to come to serve pilgrims and participate in the daily rhythms of life at Fonte di Vorno.
