索里耶沃酒店

Alt var bra. God frokost. Men ikke noe gratis. En liten glass melk som jeg trengte på rommet for å ta tabletter, betalte 1,50 euro.

Pros: If you’re going to the sanctuary of Padre Pio, this hotel has the best location, within a few mins by foot you are there. The bus stop that you take from Foggia Station and back is 2 mins away, so it’s quite a convenient location. The main center is only about 15 mins by foot, and the location “Bar Villa” were you will need to buy your bus tickets to Foggia and Mount Saint Angelo. Btw, Bar Villa has the best gelato and desserts in town. Room is simple and average (IKEA furniture). There is also a lift/elevator in this hotel which is nice when heavy luggage. Cons: Only reason why I did not give them 5 stars is bc the housekeeper left several areas with thick dust okntopnofnthr bedding frame and shelves, and there was a red stain in one of the towels provided. In addition, the AC control wasn’t working, but bc this town of San Giovanni is up on a hill there was a cool breeze at night time in the month of August where I didn’t feel that AC was really necessary compare to other areas in Italy during the summer, if you only opened the window to your room (the window had an iron screening, so it’s safe). Lastly, WiFi is very weak in this hotel, every night it kept cutting in and out, or at times it was temporary unavailable and you had to wait for it to come back, it was so annoying.

BE AWARE THAT THE ELEVATOR DOES NOT WORK.  It was being repaired when we left but looks like it was broken for quite awhile.  We stayed on the 2nd floor (3rd for Americans). The receptionist helped us carry our bags upstairs. Also note that this city was built on a mountain so there will be lots of hills to climb to get around. Parking is not connected to the hotel and you must climb a steep hill to walk back from the parking lot to the Hotel.  Parking is free though. :) After expecting these few factors, this hotel is lovely.   It is newly renovated and approximately a 5 minute walk to see St Padre Pio. The room has its own air conditioning unit (thats controlled by you), windows have blackout shades and comes with toiletries.  The food both in the restaurant and the included breakfast was excellent.  Please note that the owners of the hotel do not speak much English so you must use a Google translator to communicate. Please be patient with them. They are kind and willing to help.
