Parco dei Sesi: Mediterranean Heaven in Pantelleria

Found in the archaeological park of the island of Pantelleria, Parco dei Sesi is a stunning retreat immersed in the unspoiled nature of this breathtaking Sicilian island. Discover the authentic Mediterranean charm and unique concept of hospitality, made of sustainability, design and slow luxury.

Made of black volcanic stone and surrounded by an untouched landscape filled with history, Parco dei Sesi is an ode to quiet rhythms and slow living. The architecture of this characteristic dammuso perfectly represents the essence of Pantelleria – the Sicilian Island that houses the retreat – and is part of the archaeological park overlooking the sea and the distant Africa.

Its rustic yet minimalist aesthetic contributes to create the fascinating atmosphere of this place, which is not only a guest house but also an artist residency and an organic farm. Everything at Parco dei Sesi perfectly blends with the surrounding natural beauty, a powerful environment protected from mass tourism and ideal for conscious travelers and creative souls.

Born as a family home in the ‘70s, the new generation of owners, Margot and Massimiliano Panseca, has been renovating the mansion for the past five years to give life to this authentic gem nestled in the wild Sicilian nature. Here the guest can truly disconnect, entering another reality made of authenticity, local culture and uncompromised beauty.

Here contemporary art and design meet to define a multisensorial experience: with dedicated attention to detail, the interiors are made of raw materials, curious objects and vintage finds. Appealing minimal built-in alcoves characterize each space, embraced by arches and embellished by woven decorations and artisanal artifacts.

From the surrounding mountains into the sea, the landscape is breathtaking and gives you the opportunity to admire the untouched island. Parco dei Sesi’s outdoor space houses an intimate pool from where you can look at the sea and enjoy the beautiful panorama.

Reaching on the highest point of the property to look at the sun setting in the sea and filtering the air with golden color has become an Epicurean tradition at Parco dei Sesi. Their philosophy imbued every spot and experience at the retreat, from a custom wellness therapy to the fascinating rooftop aperitivo.
