Hotel Margherita

When we arrived we felt at ease, coffee was kindly offered. Clean hotel expertly managed by Mrs. Ivana and her husband. Possibility of having lunch at the restaurant, with reservation, there are groups of pilgrims and tourists who arrive together so it is advisable to book. Kindness and I am available for any requests.

I went to the restaurant of this recommended hotel, and I had a great time. Greeted by a very kind lady, she already granted us car parking in the space reserved for hotel guests, and even, considering the very cold and rainy day, she accompanied us with her car to the entrance of the large church... which anyway it is very close to the hotel restaurant. Then at 1pm we returned for lunch and here too a nice welcome, a lot of friendliness, education and a very nice, basic, clean and tidy restaurant. Very clean bathrooms, well-arranged tables, but above all a family atmosphere, very rewarding, in short, it feels like being at home with friends. Also known as owner Mr. Gaetano, another person like his lady, genuine and very nice. We had 2 first courses each (lasagna and orecchiette) and then grilled sausage and mozzarella and ham with side dishes of chips and roasted aubergines, all accompanied by an excellent wine. Finally, the waiter, who was also friendly considering we were new customers, brought us two excellent pineapple cream and tiramisu desserts, made by the owner, who then also came to talk to us at the table. It will end up with coffee and bitters. In the end we paid the stratospheric sum of €20 per person, which is nothing... truly a lunch to remember for the simplicity and skill of all the restaurant staff. We promised ourselves that the next time we are here, we will return and sorry for the distance between Bari and San Giovanni R., because otherwise we would have always been here on Sundays, we congratulated the owner Gaetano and Mrs., wishing them a lot of luck, because the they deserve. Thank you guys.

We spent three days in an impeccable manner in a structure that did not betray our expectations at all. The location is very convenient for reaching the Sanctuary, just 5 minutes on foot. Excellent hotel treatment. We booked half board, no comments to make. Excellent breakfast and dinner. At dinner, variety that cannot fail to satisfy with traditional local dishes that do not disappoint. The tourist menu offered for lunch at a top price is also excellent and varied. The rooms are also impeccable although minimal, spotlessly clean and tidy. A thank you cannot and must not be missing from the staff, Pio in the lead, available and always ready. See you soon, yes... because we will be back Simone Tallevi and mother Angela.
