Welcome to La Grotta di Benikulà, the perfect place for an unforgettable experience on the island of Pantelleria.

Hello! I am Giuseppe, the owner of La Grotta di Benikulà in Pantelleria. My story is intertwined between Sardinia and Pantelleria: I am of Sardinian origin, but my roots go deep into this magical island, thanks to my grandparents from Pantelleria. The connection with this land is not only familiar, but also emotional, made up of memories, scents and traditions that I have always carried with me.

Together with my wife Irene and my daughter Andrea, we came up with the idea of giving new life to the old family dammuso, a place rich in history and meaning. We renovated it carefully, respecting the authenticity and charm of Pantelleria's architecture, to transform it into a welcoming tourist facility. La Grotta di Benikulà now houses six small flats surrounded by greenery, perfect for those seeking tranquillity and contact with nature, without giving up the warmth of local hospitality.

What are they?

Pantelleria's dammusi, buildings of Arab origin, offer thermal insulation and water collection thanks to their domed roofs and thick walls. Today, having become charming dwellings, they maintain alcoves, domed ceilings and outdoor spaces amidst vineyards and olive groves, offering an authentic and visually evocative experience.
