Experience the unforgettable charm of Pantelleria
living in a old dammuso surrounded by magical stillness

Giardini di Pantelleria (Pantelleria Gardens) is a group of ancient traditional houses called dammusi (sing. dammuso, plur. dammusi) and Arab gardens located on the south-west coast of Pantelleria Island in a isolated and quiet little valley.

When I arrived in Pantelleria more than thirty years ago, I was fascinated by the primitive beauty of these houses.

Since then, as an architect I have always dreamed of protecting these ancient stone buildings immersed in uncontaminated nature to make them a pleasant summer residence for my friends and guests without giving up any modern comforts.

Whenever possible I have tried to maintain some characteristic features of the original use. Last but not least, I paid particular attention to important issues such as water conservation, environmental health (in the estate we do not use herbicides or pesticides) and light pollution at night.

Giardini di Pantelleria is not a hotel, guest house or a bed & breakfast… it’s a holiday home. The best way to stay in this charming Mediterranean island.
