San Giovanni Rotando--has anyone visited?

I would welcome any information about your experience. Is it possible to retain a sense of the sacred and of retreat? Or is there a Disneyland-type of atmosphere? (I'm pretty good at screening out distractions.)

Do you have any suggestions of where to stay? I'd like to be as close to Padre Pio's friary as possible.

How long would you suggest staying?

Any suggestions about transportion? I plan to arrive via train and then bus, and leave via train to Ravenna. See any better options?

Thanks!

Hi Sherry,
A European friend suggested this website: www.centrospiritualepadrepio.it
No train connection to SGR, closest city with train connection is Foggia, I am planning on staying in Foggia in April '08 and take a local bus tour to SGR from here. Good luck!
