Zoe: How to travel through Italy for 3 weeks and stay with people in homes or stay in convents?
I am an American citizen in my 50’s and want to spend 3-6 weeks in Italy. While there I would like to stay with residents in their homes or possibly in convents. I know such spaces are available but don’t know where to look on he Internet. I am also interested in making contact (prior to my arrival) with local residents in the communities where i travel. Does anyone have any suggestions for websites? I am not looking for a dating situation – just new friends.
Thanks for your help.

Hi Zoe!
What you’re talking about is sometimes referred to as Agritourism.
I have info about it for you on my site

is a site where you might be able to find homestays. Agriturismi are farms that operate small inns: https://www.agriturist.it/ or there are many B&Bs here: https://www.bed-and-breakfast.it/
For monastery/convent stays, you can try these sites: https://www.monasterystays.com/ or
or this one in Rome, you can write to: Casa D’Accoglienza S. Spirito, Suore Francescane dell’Addolorata Borgo S. Spirito 41, 00193 Rome

I think you won’t find easily residents… you can try, but sincerely, I’ve never heard…
But I found these convents:
