Dammusi Sciuvechi

Pantelleria


Surrounded by olive trees, vineyards and distant sea views, this secluded resort in Pantelleria's western highlands is a perfect place to get away from it all. The collection of self-contained dammusi (whitewashed, shallow-domed Pantellerian stone houses) includes units of varying sizes, many equipped with kitchens, private pools and/or verandahs. All share a Jacuzzi, a Turkish bath, a swimming pool and a solarium.
