4 Star Hotel near the Sanctuary of San Pio

One of the many pluses when staying at the 4 Star Hotel San Giovanni Rotondo Palace is its close proximity to the Sanctuary of San Pio.

The church is just 500 metres from the hotel and easily reachable on foot in less than ten minutes by walking along Via S. Salvatore towards Via Carlo Campanini and Via Santa Vittoria.

Thanks to its strategic location, this hotel is the perfect choice for those who are intending to travel to San Giovanni Rotondo for a pilgrimage.

Staying at this 4 Star Hotel, close to the Sanctuary of Padre Pio, means you’ll be able to reach one of the iconic symbols of this Apulian village both quickly and easily.

The construction of the church, under the direction of the famous Italian architect, Renzo Piano, was started in 1994 and completed in 2004. The interior covers an area of 6,000 square metres and can accommodate up to 7,000 people.

The building was constructed from Apricena stone in a shape that’s reminiscent of a nautilus with a design that pays homage to the famous Archimedes screw.

The church’s supporting structure is distinguished by seventeen large arches which are arranged in a radial pattern formed out of blocks of Gargano stone. The altar and the cross are works by the artist Arnaldo Pomodoro and the church houses the largest mechanical pipe organ ever built in Italy.

On the church’s exterior, you can see a horizontal bell tower and a vast stone cross. The churchyard which is where the faithful are initially welcomed is dedicated to Pope John Paul II and is in a triangular shape that covers some 8,000 square metres.

The whole project was undertaken with great respect for the environment and is protected by 2,000 cypresses, 500 pines, 30 olive trees, 400 strawberry trees, 550 myrtles, 23,000 lavender bushes and 50,000 ivy plants.
