Vacation Apartment Monte S. Angelo
Antica VILLA - GARGANO

Antica VILLA - GARGANO
VILLA BASSO :Forty years ago, this beautiful old house was the set of the movie The High Bright Sun with Dirk Bogarde, with Puglia standing in for the movie’s setting of Cyprus. Now the house has been restored with the care and the passion that only those who love a building can provide .
The villa is equipped with every comfort and furnished with taste and style.
Two apartments for rent .
The ground floor one " LA TERRAZZA" , ( UP TO 4 PERSONS ) has a spacious and light-filled kitchen with a big stone fireplace. There is a living room and an open mezzanine accommodating the double bedroom. Two comfortable single sofa beds in the same living area complete the sleeping arrangements. There is a large bathroom with a shower and plenty of sunlight.
The main entrance to these Puglia vacation rentals leads into the apartment from a very large terrace overlooking the sea.

Villa Basso has another delicious " PANORAMIC SUITE" , the ideal place for HONEYMOONERS (or for those who wish they are ) : air conditioning, large bedroom with armchairs, bathroom with hand-painted tiles, cosy kitchen in a turret. This sits in the attic of the house and might be rented together with the ground floor apartment if you are two couples or more than four people. - PLEASE ASK FOR OTHER PICTURES, SPECIAL PRICE FOR BOTH APARTMENT RENTAL.
The property is set in an enchanting and tranquil spot in the heart of the Gargano National Park, easily reachable from the main road, and not so far from other tourist destinations such as Vieste, Peschci, San Giovanni Rotondo (a religious site) Monte Sant' Angelo, and the Amalfi Coast (two hours away). The nearest beaches are only 1km from these Puglia vacation rentals


The Gargano promontory is very different to the rest of Puglia; a rugged spur jutting out from the coast and covered in forests. Now a 15,000-hectare nature reserve, the Parco Nazionale di Gargano is home to thousands of different species of flora and fauna, including deer and wildcats. Within the park, you can visit the Foresta Umbra or "Forest of Shadows", a beautiful blanket of Aleppo pine, oak and beech.
The Gargano is also home to some of Puglia's best beaches. Its capital, Vieste, is a pretty medieval town that gets incredibly busy in the summer but also boasts one of the region's most spectacular beaches. This looks out onto the towering Scoglio di Pizzomunno, an enormous monolith of rock in front of the beach

There are places which, as a result of their history, position or the exceptional events which occured there, are shrouded in a veil of almost tangible sacrality pervading every nook and cranny. The Gargano is a “holy” land, a much-visited venue for some of the most important religious gatherings on a world-wide scale. The apparition of the Archange Michael on Mount Gargano is without doubt the core of religious experience in this land. Thousands of pilgrims travel tu visit the cold, dark grotto which Michael chose as is earthly dwelling. But is not only the cult of St. Michael which exalts the religious spirit of this area – there are the many churches, set against breath-taking backdrops, such as the Convent of St. Matthew in San Marco il Lamis. In more recent times, the presence of Padre Pio, who lived in San Giovanni Rotondo, has provided a strong attraction for millions of people. But it is the Gargano as a whole which expresses its divine beauty in every time and space. Gargano is a different proposition to the rest of Puglia; a rugged spur jutting out from the coast covered in forests is now a 15,000 hectare nature reserve, the Parco Nazionale di Gargano and is home to thousands of different species of flora and fauna, including deer and wildcats. Also in the park you can visit the Foresta Umbra or "Forest of Shadows", a beautiful blanket of Aleppo pine, oak and beech. position to the rest of Puglia; a rugged spur jutting out from the coast covered in forests is now a 15,000 hectare nature reserve, the Parco Nazionale di Gargano and is home to thousands of different species of flora and fauna, including deer and wildcats.
