Black Pearls of the Mediterranean

Posted on Thursday, 01 May 2008 05:16PM by Deborah

We are so delighted that we are now working with new villa owners on the breathtaking island of Pantelleria, this has to be one of the most stunning islands in southern Europe and has the added benefit of having long hot summers similar to the African climate just over the water some 47 sea miles away. Here on Pantelleria the traditional houses known as Dammusi were a local round house very typical of the south Mediterranean, now they have been converted into beautiful villas and houses where you can take a wonderful holiday in what are now luxurious rentals that often have amazing views. The properties are shortly to appear on line and we are expecting them to book up quickly as they are a charming alternative t the norm. The easiest way to arrive on the Island of Pantelleria is by plane from Palermo which takes approximately 55 minutes; the flights are around € 100.00 return and fly out of Palermo 3 times a week. The island benefits from being fairly flat and the easiest way to access its sheer beauty is to get on a bike or local bus and this will take you to some of the most beautiful volcanic beaches with totally unpolluted crystalline waters. Keep on the look out for these hidden gems as they will appear shortly and take a look and see if perhaps these pearls are just what you are after for a totally unique holiday experience.
