The staff at the Ariae Hotel are fantastic! They are attentive and dedicated to ensuring travelers have a enjoyable stay at the hotel. We had a couple of requests which the front desk staff went above and beyond to fulfill. I did not eat dinner at the restaurant, but the breakfast was good w / a variety of items which should appeal to various tastes.I didn't encounter any hot food items - typical European breakfast items fruit, pastry, cheese, etc. San Giovanni Rotondo is a small town and most visitors are there to see the Padre Pio shrine which is w/in short walking distance up a slightly steep hill. The rooms are clean and generally spacious, except the bathroom. Overall, a great hotel w/ a great staff. I will definitely stay there again when I return to SGR.
