Praglia Abbey Review

Nice experience visiting this place. There is a particular air. To be seen.

Very well maintained. The products sold are expensive but quality.

Benedictine monastery in the Paduan countryside, at the foot of the Euganean hills. The monks who live there are dedicated to the production of wines, herbal teas, cosmetics, honey, infusions, sweets, books, natural remedies, as well as prayer. Remember to book the guided tour to enter the monastery. While the monastery shop and the church are accessible during the opening hours without a reservation.

Beautiful place of peace, to visit also the monastery.

Very unique guide monk, good but we were not a group of students

An "obligatory" stop to disconnect the plug from the chaotic world and let the eyes enjoy a millennial and still magical place.

Here the faithful find a place of great spirituality. The convent of the friars who follow the rule of San Benedetto: "ora et la ora", faithful to its millenary tradition, with simplicity and with experience handed down, has kept the field of herbal medicine at the highest levels, producing nails, ointments, medicaments, to cure the physical evils that afflict the many rushes in this holy place. Where you can find the historical herbal medicine for body ailments and a valuable help in the friars of the Abbey for the evils of the spirit. Furthermore, in this singular place one of the very few bookbinding and miniature workshops for the restoration of old books has been maintained, which has earned international fame in the sector. The vineyards of the friars of Praglia produce an excellent vin santo from white and very sweet grapes. Seeing is believing!!

Beautiful, well preserved. The monks accompany you illustrandoti the history of the place. Good experience.

Beautiful very suggestive Abbey, well maintained, to visit!

Beautiful inside. Beautiful cloister, very beautiful the library. Visits for Pentecost day were closed yesterday, but I had already visited it two years ago. It is important for the restoration of the book

A place of worship, meetings and thoughts in the silence of the great Benedictine Abbey inserted in the first crags of the Euganean Hills. Many spring flowers, near the valley of the cherry trees. A romantic place that illuminates you from within, where you become aware of your spirituality, your ego and your affections. A cathartic effect that connects you to your deep spirit and to your humanity that expands free and graceful in the intense perfume of the nature of the Euganean Hills. A monumental (National) library of ancient books on Christianity and the theology of the ancient world, a place of visit and study for many researchers.
The shop of herbal products and herbal teas of all types produced in the abbey gardens is interesting and well-stocked. The guided tour (especially for disabled people) and the proposal of books of interest and local documentation are very well organized. It is a place of faith, of silence but also of love for nature ... go there will be an experience that will make you grow ....

Beautiful monastery of the Benedictine monks very interesting visit to the halls of the monastery with a novice monk who explained the activities they perform. Beautiful beautiful cloisters .very well as the Church in romantico.-Gothic style with three naves with magnificent frescoes very imposing its staircase.

I like to spend a few hours in this place, beautiful church and there is also an environment dedicated to the sale of things of excellent quality produced by the monks .. I go back every 2 months on average and every time there is something more to discover ..

Place that reconciles the body with the spirit. Beautiful paintings, the crucifix, an atmosphere that gives peace.

Very nice location and care of the outbuildings. Even the shop of flavors and indigenous productions are worth a visit and more.

A beautiful place, 2 days full of peace and prayers, the clean and comfortable guesthouse, we found everything in order, more than a 5-star hotel, I propose everyone to go

Abbey among the hills. It is possible to see the monastery, accompanied by the monastic friar, and to see the beautiful vaulted library vault, a terrace overlooking the garden with medicinal herbs and vineyards, a large dining room and beautiful cloisters. There is also a cosmetics store made with herbs, wine, honey, sweets, various teas. All are made by friars.

A place to visit. They have a lot of interesting products

Very nice the monastery and the library, even the shop has many interesting articles

Here you can breathe history. In the restoration laboratory ancient books are revived. With herbs, portentous ointments and potions or liqueurs are prepared. From breeding among the orchards of bees, waxes and quality honey. The maximum "ora et labora" is put into practice between the walls of the abbey and the convent.

Beautiful abbey and beautiful visit, thanks to the hospitality and availability of the monks.

The Abbey of S. Maria important for its history, rich in works of art and the preparation of terpeutical products.

Meravigliosa abazia ai piedi dei colli euganei, propone anche molti prodotti realizzati al suo interno. Da provare i vini realizzati con il metodo benedettino

Very suggestive and religious place. Unfortunately you cannot enter inside unless on certain days. There is also a small shop with many abbey products at affordable prices.

Suggestive frame of the past. A father who takes you to visit the abbey as if he were at home. Very witty and affable

Very characteristic and beautiful ride with the guide. You immerse yourself in history.

Beautiful. An unexpected discovery. A place to visit absolutely, you feel so much peace and serenity. The monk who guided us on the visit was very good. Very helpful, nice, comprehensive in explanations. If you find yourself in these parts (Vicenza and surroundings), stop.

Wonderful place. And the products they sell are exceptional. To visit.

Beautiful visit especially on Sunday morning at 11 am mass with Gregorian chants.

Unique place. In addition to the general beauties, there is a store with products of own production. Herbal healing herbs, wine, cream and much more.

It is a magical place for body and soul. Certain sensations cannot be described, you have to try them

mystical place of religious and historical importance

Little known, at least by me, but of great suggestion, the double superimposed cloister is rare, perhaps unique in its kind

Preserves all the charm of the past, very well preserved, also allows the purchase of native products of the friars

Beautiful abbey 2 steps from Padua. It can only be visited with a guided tour with a monk.
Also interesting is the small shop with herbalist / cosmetic products produced by the monks themselves.

Very nice abbey. Too bad for the shop he has risen a lot in the last year

It is always a good experience to visit this place for anyone.

Place of peace and serenity. Where you enter and time stops.

During the visit you can admire the beautiful rooftop courtyard of Peter Lombard and the elegant outbuildings environments, testimony of the late Venetian and Benedictine humanism.

Very well maintained abbey of the Benedictine oblate monks. Placed near the Euganean hills, it is surrounded by its vineyards and vegetable gardens from where the monks collect herbs, grapes and honey. From these they derive mixtures to prepare meat or fish, soothing ointments for the skin, shampoos, balsamic oils, liqueurs and much more which are then sold to visitors. There is also the possibility of visiting the convent with a guided tour.

Place of tranquility and peace even if frequented by a fair number of people. Interesting offer of herbal medicine curated by local Benedictine monks, a place of worship and spirituality.

Since little dad took us to mass, I fell in love with the tranquility and peace of that place, I liked it so much that I got married there is the last greeting of Dad and been in that Abbey .. pleasant and sad.

Ancient Benedictine monastery very well kept. Guided tour very interesting, every time different! This time I could admire the ancient library. At the end possibility of buying products resulting from the work of the friars.

Great Abbey, with many friars, priests .. beautiful view of the Euganean hills ..

Place of pure peace, the great herbalist products, try it !!!

Place rich in history contained in a broad wall. Excellent herbal medicine to try liquorice liqueur and raisin wine and countless herbal teas. Inside guided tour with a garden full of variety of succulents

Immersed in the green of the Euganean hills, it enjoys, beyond its beauty, the perfect symbiosis with the surrounding landscape

A place where there is a lot of peace and good water

Good products that sell many of them of their production

Interesting experience valuable building and casket of artistic beauties with a millennial history, worth a visit to the library.

Beautiful place also organize guided tours. There is also a well stocked shop of herbs, spices, wines, books, I have had some delicious herbal teas.

Beautiful place and well looked after. I bought the honey there and it was the best I've ever eaten, albeit a bit too expensive, but the price perfectly reflects the quality.

Beautiful abbey of important dimensions in a hilly context organized to welcome the visitor with a guided tour and shop of typical products

Ci sono visite guidate tutti i pomeriggi, tenute da simpatici monaci che vi racconteranno numerose storie sulla Abazzia.

Sober but rich in history. The guided tour is very interesting.
If in addition to the soul you want to gratify the body, you are spoiled for choice. Officinal herbs, honey, wine etc ....

This place of peace and prayer, set in the park of the Euganean Hills, is located near the village of Teolo, easily accessible from the main road and equipped with ample parking. It is a very well preserved Benedictine abbey, where upon reservation it is possible to visit the church, the cloister and part of the library and the laboratories, where even today, Benedictine monks take care of the restoration and maintenance of ancient books. Absolutely not to be missed. Max

The place infuses peace. He radiates.
Entering the natural products shop, you are enveloped by a multitude of perfumes. One better than the other.
Among the products, personally, I recommend the bubble bath with honey, and the cream after shaving with horsetail.
The guided tour inside, between cloisters and corridor, deserves to be done to see the majestic halls of the Chapter and the refectory.
Sooner or later, I hope I can 'explore' the library.

A majestic place of faith and art, despite its wonderful simplicity. You can pray and meditate in a place where silence allows you to listen to the Lord. A small shop sells products made by the friars and there is the possibility of visiting some of the internal places of the convent. Absolutely to visit

Beautiful with products made by them really good. Wines, spices, herbal teas, body products, etc.
Interesting visit inside the abbey but I think the beauty is the library, too bad we didn't go there ....

Place to visit calmly, both geographically because it is in the context of the Euganean hills and is cultural
