Without famous designers<br />

You won’t find any pieces of designer furniture in Santa<br />

Teresa: although each of <strong>the</strong> houses is luxuriously decorated,<br />

with great taste and comfort, even <strong>the</strong> position of<br />

<strong>the</strong> rooms was worked out in harmony with how it used<br />

to be. However, <strong>the</strong> interior of <strong>the</strong> “dammusi” ideally fits<br />

in with <strong>the</strong> location: airy spaces with practically no dark<br />

and closed corners, characteristic arches, natural materials<br />

in <strong>the</strong> interior, coherent colours, plenty of wood,<br />

details made from wrought iron… it’s all part of a time-<br />

Santa Terese / Pantelleria is <strong>the</strong> only larger place on <strong>the</strong> island and it is about ten<br />

kilometres away from Santa Teresa<br />

you, it features none of those negative things that are<br />

generally attached to this region at <strong>the</strong> very south of Italy<br />

(forget about blood vengeance and <strong>the</strong> Mafia), besides<br />

<strong>the</strong> fantastic nature surrounded by spacious, and<br />

even more importantly, non-overcrowded beaches.<br />

The dark volcanic soil makes for a fantastic contrast opposed<br />

to <strong>the</strong> blueness of <strong>the</strong> sea and <strong>the</strong> wonderful wild<br />

vegetation, with only one gardener – Mo<strong>the</strong>r Nature.<br />

Pantelleria, with a name that is <strong>the</strong> Italian version of <strong>the</strong><br />

Arabic word “daughter of <strong>the</strong> wind”, can be reached<br />

relatively easily – via airplane or a boat, while <strong>the</strong>re are<br />

shuttles and taxi-services operating on <strong>the</strong> island to take<br />

<strong>the</strong> visitors to <strong>the</strong>ir chosen destinations.<br />

And in <strong>the</strong> valley of Monastero, right in <strong>the</strong> centre of <strong>the</strong><br />

island, forty hectares were taken up by a sumptuous rustic<br />

<strong>estate</strong> called Santa Teresa Resort, with an enormous<br />

vineyard that is dominated by <strong>the</strong> cabernet species and<br />

an uncountable amount of olive trees, aimed at those<br />

who aren’t afraid of peace, quiet and a confrontation<br />

with <strong>the</strong>mselves. Romantics and lovers of <strong>the</strong> return to<br />

<strong>the</strong> better past will truly enjoy this place. Santa Teresa<br />

has delighted <strong>the</strong> guests with eighteen wonderfully ren-<br />

ovated, traditional fishermen’s and village houses that<br />

<strong>the</strong> locals call “dammusi”, and <strong>the</strong>y are irregularly scattered<br />

across <strong>the</strong> <strong>estate</strong> in four little groups, but are still<br />

far enough from one ano<strong>the</strong>r to preserve <strong>the</strong> guests’<br />

privacy. The creators of this unusual summer resort have<br />

maintained all <strong>the</strong> characteristics of <strong>the</strong> local architecture<br />

during <strong>the</strong> process of <strong>the</strong>se houses’ restoration, and<br />

it is strongly painted in Arabic influences – that’s because<br />

<strong>the</strong> African coast is merely 70 kilometres of airline<br />

away from Pantelleria, which makes <strong>the</strong> island closer to<br />

Africa than to Europe.<br />
