110 m² Country house Sicilia

If it has to be very special, it has to be this renovated dammuso on the island of Pantelleria. A dammuso is a traditional stone house known from the island of Pantelleria. Pantelleria island is located southwest of Sicily with only about 70km to Tunisia. Pantelleria is Italy's fifth largest island with approx. 6000 inhabitants and ferry connection to Trapani on the west coast of Sicily. If you want to arrive by plane, it is also possible to fly to Pantelleria Airport from eg Trapani or Palermo. The views from the house are breathtaking over the sea and Gadir harbor. The location is approx. 8km from the airport, approx. 10 km from the harbor, and close to a bus stop so you can easily get there if you travel without a car. The dammuso was built before the 18th century but was renovated in 2013 - true to the original style. One of the main features of a dammuso is the 1.5m thick walls made of volcanic stone and the roof, which consists of various domes. These serve to better collect rainwater for the cistern. At the same time, this type of roof forms beautiful vaults inside the house. The property has an adjoining land of approx. 2600sqm in several levels, and with approx. 95 vines of the well-known grape "zibibbo", three pomegranate trees, aloe vera plants, a lemon tree, an orange tree, three fig trees, an almond tree, several caper plants and some Ficodindia plants. Interior: Entrance hall, dining room with two large windows and sea views and a kitchen. Opposite the entrance is a large room with a beautiful ceiling, two small vaults (suitable for wardrobe and storage space) and a vault called "alcova", where a sofa bed or a double bed can be placed. This large room leads to the bathroom with toilet and shower, the bedroom and the second entrance door. The house has two terraces on two levels and with benches and a barbecue. The property is currently rented out by owner through Airbnb and has an annual return of approx. Euro 15,000.
