Wild secluded coves, magical sunsets, rugged volcanic mountains, low-slung caper bushes and terraced vineyards are just a few of the sights you can expect to come across on Italy’s secret island, the charming Pantelleria, set adrift in the cobalt blue Mediterranean Sea between Sicily and Tunisia. Up in the hills west of the island, just a stone’s throw away from the ancient port town of Scauri, the pretty Dammusi Sciuvechi Resort offers a tranquil escape with its unique traditional stone houses which are ready to welcome you.
The volcanic Pantelleria is Sicily's largest offshore island and an extraordinary place. Renowned for growing the coveted white Zibibbo grape from which some of the most favoured sweet Italian Muscat wines are made. Here you'll find some of the oldest vines even mentioned in ancient mythology: the goddess Tanit is said to have seduced Apollo by serving him Muscat wine from the island. In fact, the local agricultural traditions have gained UNESCO heritage status.
Besides its vineyards, the island offers an incredible coastline of secret caves and coves to discover and breath-taking volcanic scenery at every turn. You'll find countless hot springs, natural saunas, and lakes like the beautiful aquamarine water at heart shape lake 'Specchio di Venere' (translated as the mirror of Venus). This natural lake formed in a volcanic crater is perfect for therapeutic mud baths and bathing.
There is nowhere better to stay to explore the island's wonders than the Dammusi Sciuvechi Resort, set within a nature reserve amongst blooming cactus and ancient olive groves. Here you'll stay in traditional-style stone houses with domed roofs called 'dammusi'. They have everything you could need for a cosy and comfortable self-catering base.
Relax by the outdoor swimming pool on the sundeck boasting fantastic sea views. Pamper yourself in the hammam or solarium or try out the gym. The wonderfully friendly staff are always on hand for great recommendations on places to eat and things to see and do whilst you are here. There are plenty of restaurants and bars to try the delicious local cuisine in the nearby Scauri. This a tiny village with grand views -on a clear day, why not enjoy an aperitivo and watch the sunset over North Africa?
