We are particularly happy to announce the opening of a new donation-based hostel in Montignoso (MS) in the property of the Parish of Santa Maria della Rosa and run by the Montignoso Pastoral Unit.
The PILGRIM’S HOUSE “THE BREAD AND THE ROSE” is located at Capanne di Montignoso, in the centre of the small village, precisely in Via Fabbrica. The hostel will open on 25th June 2023. The facility consists of four two-bed rooms, shared washrooms and showers for a total of eight beds. The kitchen can be used directly by pilgrims although the hospitalero would encourage pilgrims to prepare together a shared dinner and breakfast. A convenient wash basin for washing clothes as well as threads and pegs for drying are available. The facility is not equipped with WI-FI and is unfortunately not suitable for welcoming pilgrims with disabilities.
This year, our volunteers will take shift from 1st July to 28th October. They will be accommodated in a reserved room equipped with two beds and a wardrobe.
The facility is located right on the Via Francigena that makes easier for pilgrims to stop for a glass of water or a coffee or for using toilets; for our hospitalero an excellent opportunity to assist them.
