Hotel Colonne - San Giovanni Rotondo

The White House hotel is nearing completion of an extensive renovation which is resulting in nicely appointed rooms and breakfast area. Located close to the train station and one block of the main street in the downtown area, there is ample parking on the street at very reasonable prices of 4.50 euros for an entire day. The breakfast is served in a spacious eating area and fresh juice, coffee, hot chocolate, cereal, bread, sweets, cake, rolls and jogurt is available as selections. The reception staff was very helpful with information and the hotel offers a quiet and pleasant stay in this southern Italian city of Foggia.

The B&B is actually a small apartment with two bedrooms and a kitchen. Has a great view of the valley below. We arrived really late at night and couldn't find it, but the owner met us at a gas station, guided us to the B&B and had dinner waiting for us - what a great service and friendly people. They speak only Italian but also some French, so communication is a bit complicated - but they make it work..

We arrived late at night and the receptionist was kind to give us directions. Some were posted on the highway and were lost at an intersection where we took the right turn instead of left (hotel is located outside the city on the side of Agip, past the little bridge overpassing the highway). We were granted late check-out and had- unusually for Europe - free parking, free internet and free breakfast (although we did not take the last offer due to rest hours after our long trip). The only downturn was the Karaoke allowed in the lobby (Sun and Mon) with a loud microphone. However, sound was relatively muffled in the room. Our view was opposite of the mountain on the courtyard, not much to see but clean and well taken care of. Toiletries could use an update and mattress is quite hard but sheets were very clean. TV had some channel options although signals were intermittent. We saved this GPS location for future use and strongly recommend them over other expenses choices on the E coast of the Adriatic Sea.
