    The Abbey of Sant'Antimo, located in Castelnuovo dell'Abate, Italy, is a remarkable example of Romanesque architecture. Visitors consistently praise its serene and picturesque setting among the rolling hills of Tuscany. The abbey's simple yet elegant design, with its distinctive travertine and alabaster construction, creates a peaceful atmosphere that many find spiritually moving.

    Many reviewers highlight the abbey's historical significance, dating back to the 8th century, and appreciate the well-preserved state of the building. The interior, though sparse, is noted for its beautiful capitals and the play of light through the alabaster windows.

    Visitors often mention the Gregorian chants performed by the monks at certain times, which add to the authentic monastic experience. However, it's worth noting that these performances are not always available, which can be disappointing for some.

    The surrounding landscape, with its olive groves and vineyards, receives high praise and adds to the overall experience. Many visitors recommend taking a walk around the grounds to fully appreciate the abbey's setting.

    On the downside, some visitors find the location a bit remote and difficult to reach without a car. Additionally, a few reviewers mention that the lack of extensive information panels or guided tours can leave them wanting more historical context.

    Overall, the Abbey of Sant'Antimo is highly regarded for its architectural beauty, peaceful atmosphere, and historical significance, making it a worthwhile visit for those interested in religious architecture, history, or seeking a tranquil experience in the Tuscan countryside.
