12/08/2025: We stayed for one night at the Hotel Le Colonne in San Giovanni Rotondo, booking by phone. The staff was immediately very helpful, informing us about the different room types (one with a larger bathroom and chromotherapy) and the paid garage option (+€10).
Upon arrival, we decided not to use the parking facility, as the garage was very steep and difficult to exit. Again, the staff was extremely courteous, removing the option without any problems.
In the room, we encountered several problems: the refrigerator didn't work, nor did the chromotherapy or the bathroom mirror light. Furthermore, the bed wasn't a double, but two joined beds. Not having the same bed base, they moved easily and created a gap in the middle, making sleeping quite uncomfortable.
Another negative aspect was the soundproofing: despite the room being advertised as soundproof, we could clearly hear the people in the next room talking, as if they were in our room.
Additionally, the shower door didn't close properly, and during use, water would leak out, wetting much of the bathroom floor.
We didn't report these last two issues (soundproofing and shower) because we felt it was excessive to list all the inconveniences in a single night's stay.
We did, however, report the major faults, and although unable to address them immediately, the owner offered a discount for the inconvenience, a gesture we greatly appreciated.
The breakfast was plentiful and varied, with sweet and savory options, typical of a good hotel. The location is excellent, just steps from the Padre Pio Church.
We couldn't give the highest rating due to numerous inconveniences, particularly the non-working refrigerator, uncomfortable bed, poor soundproofing, and a faulty shower door, which impacted the overall comfort.
04/08/2025: Feels Like Home — Every Single Time Since 2012
I don’t just stay at Hotel Colonne — I return to it, year after year. Since 2012, it’s been my sanctuary in San Giovanni Rotondo.
Cleanliness? Spotless. Always.
Staff? Angela and Mateo are true gems — warm, welcoming, and the heart of this hotel.
Location? Unbeatable. Just steps from the bus station and a straight walk to Padre Pio’s church.
And the restaurant? It’s the only place I eat when I’m in town. Delicious food, and yes — you can even ask for dishes not on the menu. They always make it happen.
Oh — and for the modern traveler: Wi-Fi is flawless. No dropouts, no headaches.
Hotel Colonne isn’t just a place to stay. It’s a place to come back to. Again and again.
