Resort Acropoli

Polished places and relax in a mediterranean garden with pool and wonderful overview.
The Resort Acropoli is the only historical residence left in Pantelleria. The property dating from 1875 was the home of dr. Alfonso Errera, a medical benefactor who lived during the nineteenth century. After a thorough and careful restoration work, that respected the ancient construction techniques of the typical dammusi and that only made use of traditional materials, the Resort Acropolis today maintains the charm of the original residence.

The original main building of the resort features two floors and includes four apartments. Two other apartments, one of which is wheelchair accessible, are located within the Mediterranean garden, where you can enjoy the fresh air, sheltered from the wind within the walls of a traditional local dry stone garden (characteristic construction used as citrus garden): a perfect place for reading a book or enjoying a starry sky at night with an excellent glass of Passito wine. For the wellbeing of its guests the resort is also equipped with a Turkish bath.

Inside the property's garden you can admire the ruins of an ancient building of the Roman-Carthaginian age: at sunset you can enjoy a breathtaking view with on the horizon a glimpse of Africa and its outline of the mountains of Tunisia.

All apartments are built in the typical Dammuso style of Pantelleria: large stone walls cut by hand, vaulted ceilings and dome roofs, tastefully furnished and decorated with various paintings and antiques.

The Resort Acropoli is located in S. Francesco (easily reachable from the airport and port), a few steps from the Phoenician Acropolis of the ancient Cossyra and from the archaeological area of the S. Marco and St. Teresa hills where important Roman remains were discovered.

Among the recommended excursions for nature lovers we suggest the Montagna Grande with its 836 meters height (easily accessible up to the summit) and other hills, reachable through trails in the pine woods and through the hearty fragrance of the Mediterranean vegetation. We also recommend a visit to the lake Specchio di Venere, of volcanic origin, with its thermal waters and muds. Plenty of tours of the island by boat are offered as well as diving excursions to enjoy the beautiful sea bottoms.
