A Traditional Stone Escape on Nikà Bay

Made up of a pair of Pantelleria island’s traditional dammuso structures, only 30 steps from the Mediterranean, this romantic, palm- and wisteria-fringed property is distinguished by its architectural design by Massimo Ghisi of Studio Disegno Architettura and made more notable by its contemporary art-filled interiors.

A Lava Rock Escape on Pantelleria

This pair of architecturally updated, ancient dammusi is connected by walkways lined by fragrant island maquis and volcanic stone. It's only steps from the sea on the Bay of Nikà, with shaded terraces offering endless Mediterranean views.

The property’s art collection includes works by the Japanese artist Hiromi Masuda, photo reproductions by Canadian Gregory Colbert, Karl Blossfeldt photo reproductions, and works by Eduard Habicher from Merano and Venezuelan artist Magdalena Fernandez.

Dominating the enchanting, intimate harbor of Nikà, at 25 meters above sea level, this connected pair of dammusi stands in a sizable garden. The house is reached by an unpaved but drivable old mule track of uneven stones and small, and off-road vehicles are recommended (Suzuki, Daihatsu, Panda 4x4, etc).

The descent to the Mediterranean from the house is spectacularly scenic, and from the sea, a few more steps lead to the bay’s famed thermal waters. Sunsets over the African continent inflame the area each evening, and dark velvety nights mean the skies are a dazzling, starry overhead carpet.

Layout

The property is made up of two structures:

Dammuso 1: Kitchen, lounge with king-sized sofa bed, double bedroom and bathroom, sea-facing dining/lounge terrace, shaded terrace with pergola

Dammuso 2: Double bedroom and bathroom, solarium, shaded terrace

Outdoors: 2,000-square-meter seafront garden, pathway to the sea, barbecue, outdoor shower, private parking (4x4/high clearance vehicles recommended)

Additional guest suite

A separate, self-contained dammuso for two guests can be rented with the main ensemble on request for an additional fee. It includes an open-plan kitchen, a living area with a double bed, and a bathroom.

Additional information

This property is only available from Saturday to Saturday.

Around

A unique island south of Sicily, Pantelleria is one of Europe’s southernmost spots, just 30 miles from Africa in the strait between Sicily and Tunisia. Only 32 miles around, the island is famed for its dramatic volcanic coastlines pocked with caves and sheltered coves. The stone structures that make up this property and many others on the island are Moorish in origin. The island’s remote wild beauty is its draw, along with pristine waters. Head inland to the thermal Lago di Venere and the summit of Montagna Grande, the highest point from which you can see the African coastline on clear days.

Location

Nikà Bay, Pantelleria, Italy. Nearest airport: Pantelleria (20 minutes)

Best time to visit
