A new hostel for pilgrims opens in San Giovanni Rotondo, in Puglia region

The SGR Francigena APS association is pleased to announce the opening of a new hostel located in the historic heart of San Giovanni Rotondo, in the province of Foggia, along the Southern Francigena route that crosses Puglia. This space, designed exclusively for hikers and pilgrims traveling on foot, offers a unique opportunity to experience the Via Francigena in an authentic and charming setting.

The hostel is housed in one of the medieval towers on Corso Giacomo Matteotti 107, a place steeped in history and charm. Immersed in the historical atmosphere of San Giovanni Rotondo, the new hostel serves as a strategic point of rest for pilgrims traveling along the Via Francigena, providing a refreshing pause in the middle of their journey.

Designed with comfort and simplicity, the hostel features 10 beds in a shared dormitory. Pilgrims will have access to a bathroom and a kitchen where they can prepare meals and refresh after a long day of walking. While maintaining an essential structure, the hostel is tailored to meet the basic needs of travelers, fostering moments of rest and interaction among fellow walkers.

With a cost of only €15 per person, the hostel aims to be accessible to all pilgrims, maintaining a spirit of solidarity and hospitality. This affordable rate allows travelers to continue their journey without straining their budget, offering quality service at a favorable price.
