Villa Grande

Staying at the filmset location of the Movie 'The Bigger Splash' will be an unforgettable experience!

Villa Grande, declared “monument” by the Sovrintendenza ai Beni Culturali e al Paesaggio (the Italian Superintendence of Cultural Heritage and Landscape), is a beautiful and significant testimony of the dry-stone architecture of the Mediterranean area. Owned by an Italian Noble family, it now is a true unique holiday location on one of the most special Sicilian Islands: Pantelleria.

Surrounded by the typical trees and flowers of Pantelleria island, Villa Grande dominates the estate with its mighty walls and its soft domes. Family antiques combined with modern furniture, light sculptures of contemporary art, decorate large halls and small intimate alcoves. The patios and the gardens preserve pieces that bring back to the ancient farming traditions of the estate. The pool area invites to unwind under the pergola; comfortable seats overlook the garden of hybiscus and the large pool, tiled with antique majolica, stretches between the sky and the sea.

Leisure & Activities

Activities

The sea around Pantelleria is rich and can be explored on your own or with expert divers. Instructors also guide visitors to discover the seabed, its colorful flora and fauna still abundant and varied. Even the simple snorkeling, however, reveals striking underwater landscapes. If you want to explore Pantelleria island by sea, you can rent a boat with or without skipper in one of the two ports of the island (Scauri is at 5 km from the estate; Pantelleria city is at 19 km). The stretch of coast more spectacular is the one that runs from Scauri to the Arco dell’Elefante, where the property nestles. Boats depart from Pantelleria city for a full sightseeing tour around the island stopping in some of the most picturesque coves for a swim and the lunch on board offers local mouthwatering recipes, complete the awesome experience. In Pantelleria there are no sandy beaches except for the white shores of the lake Specchio di Venere; there are neither cabins nor umbrellas on the coasts and bars are quite rare. The lack of comfortable beach facilities that normally allows people to reach any place, is a choice desired by the Panteschi to preserve their landscape and save Pantelleria island from the aggression of insensitive tourism. The coast is dramatically beautiful with its lava and basalt rocks diving deep into the sea, remind us that we are on a volcanic island.

Specials

All activities like cooking classes, massages, boat tours etc can be arranged via the property manager.

Travel

Pantelleria also called « the daughter of the wind » for an undeniable reason, can be very windy so ferries may struggle to keep their time schedule but planes do much better! Also Pantelleria is not so small with a 84 km2 diameter and hundreds of kilometers of roads maping it and hiding its secrets … You must rent a vehicle if you want to discover it all, go to the restaurant at night, get your lake natural spa or try every single marvelous cliff ! Pantelleria has a very nice well renovated National Airport, PNL and we highly recommend anyone coming on holidays to book a flight (not a ferry) and follow these pieces of advice . Ferries can easily get cancelled or delayed. If your arrival gets delayed we will not be able to reimburse or postpone your stay. Also note there are NO taxis services (as you are used to) at the airport – You must book a vehicle, a car, scooter (125 only), e-bike (Lovely experience) or a driver AS SOON AS you book your itinerary! Last minute organization will not be much rewarded especially in high season!. But we can help you for all the logistics.
