Parco Dei Sesi
Black volcanic stone architecture is seamlessly integrated into the landscape, surrounded by an environment filled with history, natural beauty and secular traditions, which evolves with the rhythms of quiet and slow living. With dedicated attention to detail, the interiors are of raw materials, imperfections, curated objects, and art to create beautiful, harmonious and relaxing spaces.
Overlooking the sunset and Africa at just 200 meters from the sea. With 2 Master suites, 3 Junior suites , 3 deluxe double rooms and one main Dammuso (villa) for 7 people, a swimming pool and amazing curated exteriors. Surrounded by breathtaking landscapes and art and history.
Put on your trekking shoes for the day and discover another Pantelleria. Seek for the most remarkable antic Dammusi and Byzantine tombs as you walk on romans roads. Wander through the volcanoes, breathe in nature and admire the raw and untouched mountain scenery. You will be rewarded with the most beautiful views of the island and the horizon.
From the mountain into the sea. There is no better feeling than slowly gliding along the water and admiring the majestic shore from its bottom. Sneak into a cave and discover magical natural colours, sounds and views. Take the time to look at the nature from another angle. Grab a sandwich, sun cream and snorkel and get on a boat for the day.
In the summertime, restaurants and bars flourish everywhere around the island and it can become a fun challenge to find them. Local families own most of them and they offer a personal menu inspired by Pantesco traditions. If you have never tasted capers, true Sicilian olive oil, dried tomatoes or tumma cheese, welcome to a whole new world of tastes.
Aperitivo on a rooftop at sunset has never been more “the thing to do” than in Pantelleria. As the sun starts to set behind Africa you will naturally stop doing whatever you are currently doing as a natural pink, red or orange filter will sublimate everything around you. Enjoy a glass of Zibibo local wine and homemade bruschetta on a quiet and peaceful summer evening.
