Casa Michelle (apartment)

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’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) and bathroom with shower.
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 Casa Eloise ( n. 26530).
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 for each apartment 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. In September and October the weather is still mild and you can lie on the beach and get sun tunned.

The Puglia/Molise region

Apulia is a very long region in the South of Italy on the Adriatic Coast. It looks like a boot and has a lot to offer to tourists besides the beautiful sea, oil, wine and Mediterranean food. You must visit it if you are looking for sun , unspoilt nature, blue sea, both white sandy and rocky stony beaches, art and history. Trulli di Alberobello, Grotte di Castellana, Castel del Monte, Bari, Lecce and its baroque, Sassi di Matera are within an easy reach.
Gargano is a hilly promontory in the north of Apulia. The nature in Gargano is strong, wild and very varied : terraced fields, olive plantations, lemons and oranges orchards, 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 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.

Gargano / Peschici area

Peschici and Gargano are the places you will enjoy the most if you want to plunge into the southern Italian atmosphere.
Peschici is called the “gem” of Gargano, it is a cliff-top village which dates back to 950 A.D.. The village 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”…The palette of many artists painted the bluish- green of the sea, the blue sky and the green Aleppo pines leaning over the water. At the foot of Peschici is a white sandy bay and, if you hire a boat, you discover lonely romantic little beaches. 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.
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. Within the bush and on the hills of Gargano there is the highest concentration of 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 and tranquillity and silence.
Both in spring and in autumn the weather is mild and you can have nice swims in the sea and get suntanned.
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, pasta….

Guestbook

"Sehr gepflegte Wohnung, die komfortabel und ansprechend eingerichtet ist. Wir haben das Wohnen in der Altstadt sehr genossen. Vorallem in der sehr geräumigen 4-Personen Wohnung ließ es sich auf den zahlreichen Balkonen bei wunderschöner Aussicht auf das Meer gut aushalten. Alles in allem sehr empfehlenswert - ausgesprochen nette Vermieterin, der das Wohlergehen ihrer Gäste spürbar wichtig ist." G. Brandtner
"Die Unterkunft war neu renoviert, schön möbliert und sehr sauber. Es war ein tolles Gefühl mitten unter typischen (sehr netten) Italienern zu wohnen und ganz neue Eindrücke von Italien zu gewinnen! Rückblickend war dieser Urlaub für uns bis dato der schönste Urlaub (verglichen mit Hotelurlaube und Clubs..." Gernot B.

We had a wonderful holiday in Peschici, we were so lucky with the weather and you made us feel very welcome, thank you.
The apartment is exactly as you described it - the real plus points are the balcony outside the bedroom, and being able to sit on the roof terrace in the evening once the sun has gone round to the west. Sitting on the roof with a glass of Italian wine - bliss!
The apartment was equipped with everything you could need, and was spotlessly clean.
We thought Gargano was a very interesting area, with a wide variety of different landscapes, and certainly we felt we saw it at it's absolute green and lush best. The wild flowers and Foresta Umbra were spectacular, and it was a thrill to be able to watch dolphins from the balcony - admittedly with the help of binoculars!
Thank you for being so kind and helpful during our stay - even coming shopping with us to buy cheese! You helped make it a memorable week,
Many thanks
Tim and Joy

We liked the apartment very much. Jim and I both agree that the walk around the village that you gave us on the Tuesday after we arrived was an excellent introduction and enabled us to go to the market, buy pasta and fresh bread, and find our way around town much quicker and smoother than we otherwise would have. We followed through on your recommendations for restaurants and pizza and were very pleased.
We enjoyed our stay in your apartment very much. You have an excellent refrigerator/freezer and stove/oven and very good equipment. And the terraces were splendid.
Thanks again for all your help. Take care and say hello to your husband and daughter for Jim and me. Best regards, Diane

What an absolutely amazing trip we had to your beautiful part of the world. Needless to say, we are still in a bit of shock having been back just 24 hours and of course, it's pouring with rain here in England. But, really, we have fallen in love with the area as we suspected we would and renting from you made the trip extra special. Thank you again for your patience with our late arrival and I promise that the next time we come, my Italian will be much improved!
Molto grazie e ciao!

Nichole and Charles

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 Peschici a lovely place to be, a bit crowded at times and a bit noisy at night but overall a place i would like to return to. I found it very pleasant and easy to deal with you both, make the booking etc. Oh yes, and 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 and i hope this is useful. Hope to see you again. Nikki
