It is in a fenced-off area, not visible from the main road, and only accessible to us and our clients.

An "affittacamere" is very much similar to a hotel.
Our rooms are exactly what you'd expect from any Hotel, with the same services, but we have no canteen / bar.

What time can I check in?
The rooms must be left by 10am on the departure day, therefore the rooms will be availale again from 12-12.30, after cleaning.
If, however, you plan to arrive before midday, if you communicate this to us it may be possible to give the room immediately (if it's ready).
It's clear that we need time to make up the rooms, so from 10am (when the rooms keys are handed over to us) we need a few hours to get them ready again. In any case, the rooms will always be ready by 12.30.
Are there any problems if I arrive late? (check-in)
There is no problem at all. From midday we are always ready to give the rooms to our clients, and you can take the room at any time, including at night. If you think you'll be arriving late, it is a good idea to let us know.
What time must I leave the room? (check-out)
LThe rooms should be freed by 10am on the morning of departure.
You can, however, still continue using the car park even until the afternoon. It is just important to free the room in the morning, so that we can make them up.
What documents do I need to check in? Is an ID required?
You will need some form of identification (National ID Card, Passport etc) in order to check in.
When should I book my room?
It is a good idea to book as soon as you are sure that you will be needing to stay in San Giovanni Rotondo.
This is especially the case in the summer, during festivitiesm when more people come to San Giovanni Rotondo in pilgrimage or for the hospital.
LASTMINUTE: If you haven't booked, don't worry! Sometimes changes are made right up to the very last moment, so if you haven't managed to find a room, try again, you might just be lucky!
