Looking for your own monastery?

It's nearing the end of September and the beginning of midterms. As a student of Medieval Studies, it is not unlikely that as you read of the serenity of the lives of medieval monks in their peaceful scriptoria, with nothing but the opus dei on their minds, you wish you were enjoying the methodical pace of a monastic setting far off in sunny Italy rather than facing the flurry of assignments in increasingly embittered weather, with nothing but your GPA on your mind. If only you had your very own monastery...



Voilà: www.monastery-for-sale.com, for those of you without student loans and money to burn. A charming, 11th century monastery with 60,000 square metres. Just use Mastercard. The calm of mind and soul is priceless.
