Pantelleria Apartments & Villas (Sicily)

Pantelleria can be described as Volcanic temper, Mediterranean character and an Arabic outline. It is known as the "Black Pearl" of the Mediterranean sea due to its peculiar dark and intense colouring deriving from the matching of lava rocks with the cobalt blue waters.

The area dates back to Arab rule from 800-1000 A.D. and most of the names of its villages sond Arabic; hattibuale, Khamma and Mu?gen. The architecture also derives from the Arab culture such as the "dammusi", the typical houses of Pantelleria, made out of lava stone and characterized by dyed cupola-shaped roofs. The heritage is also reflected in the agriculture and the never ending line of low dry stone walls revealing crops like caper groves and ineyards of "zibibbo" grapes?producing the renowned "passito di Pantelleria".

The island of Pantelleria has no sandy beaches but is ideal for people searching for raw nature and a striking scenery. There are dream like bays including Punta Spadillo, overlooked by a white lighthouse, and Cala Levante with its majestic natural sculpture nicknamed Arco dell'Elefante (Arch of the Elephant) which has now become the symbol of the island. So why not book a Pantelleria villa for a self catering holiday in Sicily.
