Welcome to San Giovanni Rotondo, the symbolic place of worship of Padre Pio of Pietrelcina, a must-see destination for pilgrims from all over the world. But San Giovanni Rotondo is not only a place of prayer; it also offers a multitude of cultural and natural experiences.
One of the first places to visit is the church of Santa Maria delle Grazie, which houses the famous crypt where Padre Pio celebrated Mass. Here you can also admire the Choir of the Stigmata, where you can witness moments of prayer and meditation.
Continuing the journey of discovery of Padre Pio’s life, we recommend a visit to the Convent of the Capuchins, the place where Padre Pio spent most of his life and where you can admire his habit, personal belongings and writings.
But San Giovanni Rotondo also offers a wide range of nature experiences. The Monte Sant’Angelo Nature Reserve is the ideal place for lovers of trekking and nature walks. Here you can discover a wide variety of flora and fauna, and enjoy breathtaking views of the Gargano coastline.
On the other hand, if you love history and art, the historic center of San Giovanni Rotondo offers numerous treasures to discover. Among the most important monuments to visit are the Church of St. Giovanni Battista, the Town Hall, and the Home for the relief of the suffering, founded by Padre Pio to care for the sick.
During your visit, you cannot miss the delicious local gastronomy, which includes specialties such as handmade orecchiette pasta, fresh fish from the Adriatic Sea, and Apulia’s renowned olive oil. Among the recommended restaurants, we recommend Il Gallo, La Locanda del Torrione and Il Trappeto.
Finally, when you return to the hotel, you can relax in the elegant and refined environment of our rooms and suites, equipped with every comfort for a purely relaxing stay.
