This is an opportunity for nature lovers who want to spend relaxing holidays in contact with sea, forests, mountains, lakes, animals and flowers in Parco Nazionale del Gargano, Apulia, on the Adriatic coast in the south of Italy.
Apulia is famous for being the place where the sound of the sea and the wind are coupled with the unique, breathtaking panorama of Gargano promontory.
Here in the heart of Apulia you’ll find Peschici, one of the most suggestive little villages of the coast. In its antique centre there is Casa Michelle, a small independent apartment on the second floor of a house recently renovated.
Apart from the dogs barking, children playing around and women chatting and singing, you would not hear a noise while staying at Casa Michelle, because it is beautifully located in a narrow, silent alley in the pedestrian area, near “Piazza” and “Castello”, the heart of the old village.
Casa Michelle can comfortably room four people or be a really great and spacious home for a couple. The apartment( about 60 m2), fully air-conditioned, consists of 2 floors.
The first floor hosts a large room with a sofa bed/dining area/kitchen corner (4 burners, oven, freezer), satTV, bathroom with shower and washing machine.
On the second floor you can find a loft with a double bed, a wardrobe and another bathroom with shower. This is one of the best spots of the apartment, as you can admire the deep blue of the sea directly from the bed that is in front of a large private and secluded terrace. On the terrace, of course, you can enjoy all your meals.
Casa Michelle is good also on the outside! In fact, a spiral staircase takes you to enjoy a breathtaking view of the sea from a solarium, shared with the guests of next door Casa Eloise which is the same owner’s (see ref. 5676)
The surrounding area
The village Peschici is the "gem" of Gargano, a promontory, the heel of the Italian boot, on the Adriatic coast in South Italy. Peschici is built on a rock rising straight from the sea and dates back to 950 A.D. Peschici itself is a cumulous of white low houses, scattered against the rock. From afar you are dazzled by the white houses in the sun; at night the village looks like a "crib". Many famous artists painted the bluish-green sea, the blue sky, the green pines leaning over the water and the white houses. At the foot of Peschici is a white sandy bay and, if you hire a boat, you can discover lovely romantic little beaches.Excursion boats take you to caves and "grotte". Gargano is a 120.000 hectares National Park with forests, lagoons, marine reserves and mountains rich of mushrooms in autumn and wild asparagus in spring.
At 60 km from Peschici is the town of San Giovanni Rotondo, where Padre Pio lived. He was declared saint by Pope Giovanni Paolo ii in 2002. The sanctuary and the new church, built by the architect Renzo Piano, attract millions of pilgrims every year.
In front of Peschici are the Tremiti islands, quite an unspoilt area with a small local community. It has wonderful beaches and is a paradise for divers.
Apulia has a lot to offer, you need more than one week to visit "Trulli" in Alberobello, Grotte di Castellana, Castel del Monte, Lecce and its baroque, "Sassi di Matera". And why not visit Naples which by autostrada is 3 hours drive?
