A Deeply Personal Dammuso Dwelling, Straight out of a Guadagnino Film
Created by a Parisian ex-model agent and her art and tech-influenced Milanese-Sicilian husband, for whom the powerful nature and history of the island has been a source of inspiration, this property was created with architecture enthusiasts in mind. This art-filled space, a home-turned-hotel, feels lost in time where elegance, tranquility and authenticity meet. The restored property was owned by the owner's artist parents since the 1970s, held together by ancient rocks and seemingly lit entirely by diffused natural light. The dwelling faces expansive views of the sea and Africa.

Best time to visit:
Pantelleria is well-documented as a magical summer gateway, but true lovers of the island know that it has much more to offer all year long. Truman Capote even once said, "Pantelleria is born for the winter. With its mysterious silence, its positive energy, the starry sky and the smell of the sea, you realize that you have need of nothing else."
