Most holidaymakers can’t tell you much about Pantelleria before they set out to discover this speck of land that jutts out of the expansive sea between the Strait of Sicily and the Tunisian coast. However, after a stay at Hotel Village Suvaki ****, which reflects the most important and intrinsic aspects of the island itself, each and every one leave in admiration of the astounding natural wonders of this lesser-known holiday destination.
Although it was only recently built as the island’s first 4-star establishment, Hotel Village Suvaki **** was constructed around an authentic “dammuso”. Typical to the island but completely unique, these dwellings are made from lava rock, have domed roofs and blend perfectly into the surrounding countryside, so as to not detract from the breathtakingly beautiful landscape that encompasses the hotel.
Indeed, located along the rugged coast, with its secluded coves and jagged cliffs, Hotel Village Suvaki **** offers unrivalled views from its private balconies and verandas, the panoramic restaurant, and particularly from the pool at sunset. Alternatively, if you want to get to know the island first hand, you could embark on one of the hiking trails organised by the hotel to discover the thermal springs, natural hot saunas and marine grottos that all await exploration nearby.
Last but not least, get a taste of the island’s rich culture, which has been shaped by the many civilisations that have dominated this destination, at the hotel’s restaurant. Here the dishes created by Chef Giani reflect the fascinating landscape and island life, served in an traditional Arabian garden that’s been transformed into an enchanting dining area. Evidently, a holiday here makes for much more than just a tranquil escape to the seaside!
