Sue, it was easier showing these pictures this way. Here is the FRONT DOOR of
Domus Ciliota. As you see, to the left of the door is what looks like a buzzer (I think it is). That is where the name of the
monastery is, written around the buzzer on brass - very little.
This is the street the
monastery is on. If you go to the end of this street (which you can see the end in the picture), turn right, it will take you to
Campo S. Stefano (pictured below) - only a few steps away. There are plenty of eateries there. Also, if you want some wine (and who doesn't in Italy??) if you go to the end of this street, turn right and walk toward the
campo there will be a wine store on your left hand side. Inside, he has casks of wine. You can ask for wine from the cask and he will fill an empty plastic water or pop one litre container and the cost I believe is either 2 or 4 Euro and the wine is unbelievably good. The bottled wine in the same shop is
tres expensive.
This is the
campo you will be near. It is very peaceful though not usually as empty as in this picture. The Grand Canal is not far. We attended a classical music concert in the cathedral in this square. It was lovely. If you went into the website www.ciliota.it and clicked on their location and clicked on the yellow
Venice area on the map, it gives you the
monastery's exact location. Ciao!
