the dammuso dating back to 1906, has been recently carefully restructured with respect of original materials and with finishes, details and furnishings purely ethnic.

Plugged in an hectare of olives and capers planted land, between terracing and ancient dry stone walls built, it is at the centre of the valley that extends between Nikà and Rekhale, with a spectacular view by a side on the sea and on the other side on the proud contour of Monte Gibele, Montagna Grande and Kuddia Attalora.

A wide and comfortable dammuso for those looking for absolute privacy, it is composed by 4 compartments and several outdoor spaces soaked into nature and suspended between sea and sky.

From the private parking we descend in the big winds repaired Pantesco garden, ideal to enjoy the morning sun at breakfast; here a big shaded ducchena waits us for the afternoon rest; lemon, orange, geranium and jasmine plants with the cool air of the evening inebriate us of perfumes.

The garden is the entrance to the dammuso and leads us in the big and welcoming lounge with vaulted ceilings, from which we enter in the pretty masonry kitchen and smoothed concrete decorated with ancient hand painted majolicas. The interior spaces are communicating between them through arch passages without doors. Passing for the typical alcove became living room, we reach the double bedroom that through an arch looks to the sea, even the bathroom with shower is a big atmosphere ambient.

The pretty rooms' floors are coated with old tiles and smoothed concrete while the furnishings, embellished by ethnic objects, tissues and travels' souvenirs make a warm and welcoming atmosphere.

The dammuso overlooks a big shaded terrace and equipped to live always outside with the maximum comfort and relax.

The sight from the terrace is simply spectacular, the gaze hesitate along the caers and grapes cultivated basin and gets lost in the blue sea set at 180° in front of us. At the horizon the African coast emerges.

An holm oaks wood extends up to the terrace giving freshness; just next we find the hedonist heart of the property, a big solarium with infinity pool, supplied with little beaches where to peacefully laze for hours and hours. Some steps lead us to the cultivated lands and to the outdoor shower with sea view, a priceless pleasure that we suggest you to try at the sunset hour.

Cupolas and white roofs provided with lanterns, deckchairs and pillows will be irresistible places for your aperitifs and forunder millions star nights .

A perfect dammuso for an holiday to dedicate to the pleasure of living.
