Pantelleria Hotels

The staff could not have been more helpful. Arranging car hire, recommending restaurants (La Vela was a dream!) and even picking us up and dropping off in the town on the first night at no cost. Due to high winds postponing our arrival by a day we only stayed 2 nights. A quick call to Bookings.com meant we only paid for 2 nights despite booking 3. A personal pick up from the airport was also done. As we stayed in early May only about 3 rooms seem to have been let. Giving a slight 'The Shining - Overlook Hotel' feel. At least we had the wonderful pool to ourselves, bit chilly but fine once you were under. The breakfast was rather minmal but again due to everything not being totally up to speed. Various tidying up was in progess during our stay. I think late Sept would be the ideal to go, warmer pool, few more people to justify greater meal choices etc.

It had a lovely and very large swimming pool - same are in short supply on the island. The staff were really friendly and most helpful. Truly appalling breakfasts. Access to the sea for swimming was not satisfactory and should be altered. This is a pity as the sea is so close to the pool and was superb for swimming
