"My adult daughter and I went to visit St. Padre Pio. This hotel was very close to his churches. Super close, which was great. It was challenging to go up & down the stairs to get to and from the hotel with our suitcases, but as we left I think I saw an outdoor elevator! There was a bus stop 2 minutes from the hotel which I didn’t know. I got off like a half hour walk away in San Giovanni Rotundo. Totally my fault, I never thought to look into which stop to get off.
The fellow at the desk was very friendly and helpful. He wrote out how to ask for a bus ticket in Italian from the bar across the street. He was great. They offer a boxed breakfast for us since we were leaving super early to take a bus to Foggia so we could then continue our trip by train. I must say I loved being in a hotel so I didn’t have to take my garbage out like at the air bnbs we stayed at. It’s not a huge deal, but when you are stressed about catching public transportation, it adds another thing to figure out. "
