I HAVE BEEN THERE! several time …IT IS AN AMAZING ISLAND!!..Pantelleria is one of the most southern islands of Italy and It’s a unique place for both its beautiful landscape and the quality of life. It is closer to Tunisia than to Italy so it feels the effects of Arab culture and the towns maintained their arabic names in time.
Pantelleria is a wonderful place, suitable for all the people who want to spend an holiday drenched in nature.
The good season is very long and begins in April, with warmer temperatures compared to the ones in the continent, and ends in October. It’s warmly recommended to spend at least two weeks in the island because It has a slow place and requires time to be savoured.

How very beautiful! I know what you all mean. We lived in Sicily for 6 months and did not get to Pantelleria. Another reason to return! Thank you for the lovely note.

Again, I too would like to thank you for bringing into my home the lovely places my husband and I have missed seeing, even after being in Italy 6 times. We need five lifetimes to see it all, and even then, who knows.

Tante grazie.

My daily fix of things Italian is so delightful. Today’s note on Pantellaria was something totally unknown to me.

My father was born in Lucca in 1906 and came to America as a fifteen year old. He so totally immersed himself in his new country that I didn’t get a tutorial growing up. But, years later my husband and I found Italy on its own and fell in love. Unfortunately I never got to Lucca, but through research I feel I have been there.

Thank you for all you do.
