Holiday home Pan­tel­leria Nikà

The vol­canic island of Pan­tel­leria, located between Sicily and Tunisia, is known as the “Black Pearl of the Medi­ter­ranean”. The island’s cha­rac­te­ristic houses are called dammusi: cube-shaped buil­dings made of vol­canic rock, with dome-like white roofs that serve to catch rain­water. These tra­di­tional rural houses are typi­cally found inland. The holiday home Pan­tel­leria Nikà, however, is perched upon rugged cliffs near the sea – with views of the shim­mering, blue water and the wide open horizon.

Pan­tel­leria Nikà is com­prised of two dammusi con­nected by steps and paths: an 18th century main building (with a living room, kitchen, bedroom, toilet, outdoor shower) and a slightly higher building dating to the early 20th century (with a bedroom and bathroom with indoor shower). The spec­ta­cular location of both houses domi­nates their design. The focus is the view of the sea, so the decor of the rooms is simple, with fur­niture pieces made of African Acajou wood and a floor of polished con­crete. The mono­chrome sim­plicity is accented by instal­la­tions and pho­to­graphs by inter­na­tional artists.

In a third, detached dammuso, there is a suite for two people that can be rented sepa­rately or tog­ether with the main ensemble. The fur­nis­hings are essential and the sea view remains the prot­agonist. The suite con­sists of a kitchen, a living room with sleeping area and a bathroom. The outdoor area is spread over several levels.

Thanks to the warm climate, daily life mainly takes place outside on the ter­races. Four per­golas with palm-leaf roofs provide shel­tered outdoor areas – box seats for the sweeping views across the sea, the sunset and the starry night sky.
