Cheap Accommodations in Southern Italy

Outside of tourist areas, southern Italy is generally cheaper than the north of the country. Here are some of the best value places to stay.

One of the best ways to stay cheaply in amazingly beautiful places is to look for agriturismo. These places are like bed and breakfasts on farms, and you can usually stay for around €30 per person per night with breakfast included. To find one, open a map of the area of the country you want to stay in and search agriturismo.

Another way to stay for cheap is to look for convents or monasteries that offer accommodation. While there are usually some rules on noise and maybe a curfew, these are great spots if you are on a quieter trip and just want to use your room to get some rest. Check out the website Monastery Stays to find rooms.

Pensiones are also a good option, offering informal rooms in a family home with a personal touch. These days some are slightly larger operations that can feel like a small hotel, but many are just spare rooms rented out on a nightly basis. You’ll also get the added bonus of getting to know the locals, too.
