Dammusi: The Authentic Charm of Pantelleria

The Unique Architecture of the Dammusi

There is no doubt that those seeking a truly unique and authentic vacation experience have only one possible option: dammusi! These traditional stone constructions, seamlessly blending into the landscape, are the symbol of Pantelleria. Originally peasant dwellings, today they represent charming accommodations, ideal for those looking for authenticity and tranquility.

  • Domed roofs, designed to collect rainwater
  • Thick walls, providing excellent natural climate control
  • Spacious panoramic outdoor areas, perfect for relaxing in nature.

Why Choose a Dammuso

  • For a vacation in close contact with nature: Many dammusi offer spectacular views of the sea and vineyards and are surrounded by Mediterranean vegetation.
  • Sustainability: Many dammusi are built with local materials and are environmentally friendly.
  • Privacy: Dammusi are ideal for couples, families, or small groups seeking relaxation.

We invite you to discover our characteristic IJardina dammusi with a pool, located in Karuscia, which faithfully reflect the traditional dammuso style, with the added guarantee of tailor-made services and prompt assistance to ensure a fantastic vacation for our guests.
