A religious holiday like Christmas deserves an equally religious setting like the Land of Padre Pio, with prayer and time dedicated to the people we love.
We are expecting you at the Gran Paradiso Hotel Spa, a few steps from the new Basilica built by Renzo Piano that has been dedicated to our saint. The Saint of the stigmata, the one who, like Jesus Christ, sacrificed his life for us.
On the evening of December 24th, in the Church of San Pio, the Holy Mass of Vigil awaits you, a moment of deeply felt devotion in San Giovanni Rotondo, which sanctions the union of the Saint of Pietralcina with the Child Jesus. As per tradition, in every corner of the area, there are widespread living nativity scenes that symbolize the love between Padre Pio and the birth of the son of God, to celebrate this special moment together.
Join us at the Gran Paradiso Hotel Spa. Christmas with us is a very special event, every day you can taste fried pizzas, San Giovanni Rotondo carangi with honey and almonds and many many other products of the Apulian tradition.SPECIAL OFFER FOR CHRISTMAS 2020

"Amazing Hotel!"
Amazing Hotel!
This hotel was the highlight of my stay in Italia, especially due to the central location, and proximity to Padre Pio. The view from the front of the hotel where we met before dinner each night was incredible. The reception/butler staff were wonderful. We were made to feel welcome by all the staff, particularly at breakfast. The rooms and decor of the hotel are stunning, and the pool is absolutely fantastic. Overall we loved every part of the hotel, and San Giovanni Rotondo. We will be back!

Memorable trip back to Italy with family
This was our first stay in Hotel Gran Paradiso, it was the most amazing place we stayed at in all of Italy, we loved the staff, the rooms, the amenities, everything suited our needs and so much more, the pool was amazing, staff were always on hand to assist us whenever we required. I could not recommend this place highly enough, the restaurant food was high quality and the staff were extremely accommodation when it came to assisting with meal options for our children. We also enjoyed the lovely breakfast selection accompanied by the most wonderful coffee you'll find in Italy.Let's not forget...Location Location Location!! being so close to the Padre Pio site was especially ideal, this hotel is in the heart of San Giovanni Rotondo.Thank you to Giovanni and his wonderful team, keep up the great work, you were all a credit to the high standards you keep.
