Home description
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 find Peschici, one of the most suggestive little villages of the coast. In the pedestrian area of the centre of the village, in a narrow lane, you find Casa Eloise, an independent air-conditioned apartment on the first floor of a recently renovated house. It is about 65 m2 and consists of a living room with dining area and kitchen corner ( 4 burners, oven, big fridge with freezer), sofa bed, satTV , one double bedroom, one bedroom with bunk beds, bathroom with shower. 4 people can sleep in the apartment . Through a staircase you reach a private seaview terrace where you can enjoy your meals, and from here through a spiral staircase you can enjoy a breathtaking view of the sea from a sunny large roof terrace which is shared with the guests of Casa Michelle ( n. 5021), of the same owner’s.
With a nice 10 minutes walk on a quite steepy path from the historical centre, you can reach the wide village beach where you find a beach umbrella and 2 deckchairs included in the rent. You can also arrive at the beach by car or, best of all, you can visit other small beaches along the coast, not far from the village. Both in spring and in autumn the weather is mild and you can lie on the beach, have nice swims in the sea and get sun tanned.

The Puglia/Molise region
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 in the north of the region. In Gargano nature is the queen. This hilly promontory in the north of Apulia, is strong, wild and much varied: terraced fields, olive plantations, lemons and oranges orchards, Aleppo pines, lakes, steep white coast alternating with large sandy shores, small bays, deep inlets, caves and marine cliffs. Gargano is also a 120.000 hectares National Park with forests, lagoons, marine reserves and mountains. Every season of the year is worth a visit: choose spring if you love nature and want to look for wild asparagus and for orchids, the queens of the flower kingdom. In Gargano in the woods and hills there is the highest concentration of wild orchids in Europe: 85 species with a stunning range of colours. Choose summer if you love sea, beaches, music, people and autumn if you appreciate mushrooms, good fish, tranquillity and silence. You can also visit the typical “trabucchi”, antique wooden platforms designed for fishing, now most of them converted into rustic restaurants. Apulia has lot to offer to tourists. If you love history and art Trulli di Alberobello, Grotte di Castellana, Castel del Monte, Bari, Lecce and its baroque, Sassi di Matera are within an easy reach.
Gargano / Peschici area
Peschici and Gargano is the right place if you like to be taken up in the southern Italian atmosphere. The village Peschici is the “gem” of Gargano, it is a cliff-top village which dates back to 950 A.D.. The village itself is a cumulous of little white 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”… At the foot of Peschici is a white sandy beach and, if you hire a boat, especially in spring and late summer, you discover lonely bays and coves of extraordinary charm. Excursion boats take you to “grotte” and to Tremiti islands, quite an unspoilt area with a small local community with wonderful beaches, a paradise for divers. And what about food all year round ? The local cuisine, the typical “cucina mediterranea” is rich and varied and includes genuine flavours such as olive oil, caciocavallo and pecorino cheese, fish, tomatoes, handmade pasta….

Guestbook
This is a lovely little apartment right in the historic centre of Peschici. Signora Lucia has made her very best to offer a comfortable stay for her guests. The beds are comfortable, the furniture is of good quality, the kitchen is well equipped, the air conditioning works perfectly, all is very clean. There are two terraces, nicely kept, one in common with another apartment, both have sea view. The solarium upstairs is ideal for long lazy afternoon naps in spring or fall. The apartment is in a quiet side street, but it is only steps away from restaurants and shops. The beach is not far but it is a very steep walk back, so it is better to use the car, particularly during the very hot July and August. Signora Lucia lives very nearby and is always available to help and give information. We particularly appreciated the use of a parasol and two beach loungers on the main beach of Peschici included in the price and a list of restaurants she prepared for us before our arrival.

Dear Lucia, Hope you are well. A few thoughts on my stay in your apartment: loved the apartment, it was clean, cool, comfortable, well decorated, fabulous terrace and i loved being in the old town and being able to meet the neighbours etc. I found it very pleasant and easy to deal with you both, make the booking etc. Having the sun-beds included made the beach a great experience, especially meeting Pepito!! Say hello to him from us in Ireland. All the best. Hope to see you again. Nikki
