San Giovanni Rotondo and Padre Pio - hotel booking

Hotel La Solaria, San Giovanni Rotondo

This pleasant hotel in Puglia's Foggia province enjoys a privileged position in the historic town of San Giovanni Rotondo, just a short distance from the world-famous sanctuary of Padre Pio. This much-visited little town in Italy's idyllic Puglia region was named after the circular temple the townspeople built to San Giovanni (Saint John) following their conversion to Christianity. The San Pio shrine attracts thousands of pilgrims each year. They flock here to visit the place where Padre Pio received the gift of the stigmata and see the statue of Saint Michael at the church of the Madonna di Loreto. Not far away is Gargano's splendid National park and the wonderful Umbra Forest, which is all that remains of a great beech and oak forest that once covered most of western Europe.

There are 26 simply furnished en-suite rooms at the 3-star Hotel La Solaria, San Giovanni Rotondo, all with direct-dial telephone, colour television and a refrigerated minibar. Private bathrooms have a shower and a fitted hairdryer and a tasty Italian breakfast is served between 7.30 and 9.00 in the hotel's sunny breakfast room. All rooms are accessible either by lift/elevator or via ground-floor access.

This is an ideal place in which to relax and enjoy a peaceful holiday within easy reach of beautiful countryside, excellent beaches and interesting places to visit. This San Giovanni Rotondo hotel is comfortably air conditioned throughout and culinary enthusiasts will be particularly impressed by the restaurant, which serves delicious typical Puglian specialities and classic Italian dishes. There is an excellent wine list, too, plus a friendly lounge/bar serving a wide range of drinks and snacks.

There is attentive, efficient 24-hour service on the front desk of this Puglia hotel, and staff will be delighted to offer tourist information and make recommendations for excursions. The hotel has plenty of free parking and pets are welcome.
