Sikelia ticks all of the boxes - superb setting, food, rooms, views, location and staff. Even before we arrived, we felt looked after and special -  and this only continued throughout the holiday. From superb breakfasts to specially commissioned days out, nothing was too much trouble. Day 2 of being home and it is safe to say we are missing the amazing sunset cocktails and aperitivi, so much so we have gone to the Italian deli to try to recreate a snippet. We stayed half board and are very glad we did - every single course was delicious (and this is coming from an Italian - though our waistlines might be regretting it!). We also ate at the vineyard one evening which was a special setting and equally delicious food (also included in half board). We stayed in The Penthouse - the views were incredible and the room felt like our oasis within an oasis. Everything has been designed with the customer in mind - from the beds, linen and pillows you select, snack bar, Hermes toiletries, wonderful showers, and so on - it is rare we say this, but we will be back!

A Beautiful Oasis!

For a beautiful, upscale sunset experience come to this extraordinary hotel for aperitivi on the roof of the dammusi looking out to sea over the ancient landscape. The staff were extremely friendly and professional, bringing us cocktails and delicious canapés from the restaurant as we watched the sun go down. Another charming experience on this magical island. Highly recommended.

Sunset aperitivi

This hotel is like a Paradise. We were met by Hotel staff at the airport and driven to the hotel. All staff were 100% friendly, professional and if we needed something, all was there in a minute. Our suite was just great. A lot of small details, which you would not expect from a hotel.  No critics at all, just that the daily rate is really very high. But this paradise was worth every cent we spent.

Heaven on earth...but very expensive

Welcoming staff, Super friendly staff, Amazing Rooms. Stunning views, with dark skys. Nice pool, massage services, Recommendations on where to hike, and see the island. They even called to check on us when we climbed a strenuous hike. From when they meet you at the airport, to booking restaurants this hotel does it right. We appreciated the upgraded spacious room, with turn down service. With only 20 rooms you are in a private oasis, and the stress melts away.This hotel could not have been better. It is a five star plus.

Its Just Amazing

Sikelia was a dream come true - we've been trying to get here since Oct 2016 when a journalist friend told us about his preview visit. We finally made it, and we'll be back! From the airport pickup (to help with the rental car logistics and escort us back to the hotel) to the daily activity suggestions, indulgent breakfast spreads to aperitivi on the roof, this is the place to stay on Pantelleria, and a good reason to visit the island in and of itself!  

Gorgeous, warm, zero stress retreat

We have just left Sikelia, and Pantelleria, and had the most wonderful visit.  The staff was - simply put - the finest, most lovable and loving group of people we have met in our expansive travels.  Everyone associated with Sikelia was happy to help and brought heart into each conversation. We LOVED them and hated to say goodbye.   The property itself is a little oasis in the middle of an otherwise non-descript area.  There is little to do in the direct neighborhood and a car is absolutely necessary to properly enjoy the island.  The room that we stayed in was a large suite with a lovely view.  The room suited our needs, however I am not certain how happy we would have been in a smaller room or one with less of a view.  I suspect not very.  The pool is in a tight area and is quite tiny, with only six lounge chairs.  Clearly, this is meant for only a short respite/quick dip - not as a hang out.  The property is also totally inappropriate for kids (good).  One of the big positive surprises, the food ... was sooooo good. Both breakfast and dinner was perfect each day.  Tiny menu for dinner but we were always pleased.   In the end, I am not positive that the value was there.  It is not cheap.  But we had a lovely experience and if your travels take you to Sicily, I would recommend a long weekend with the wonderful people at Sikelia looking after you. 

Wonderful, with the appropriate expectations

We only stay @ 5 star hotels & this one is @ the top of our list! From the moment we entered  until the (sad) day of our departure, we were enchanted by our beautiful surroundings, exquisite room, delightful staff & delicious food. All of this in the magical island of Pantelleria! The front desk staff’s service & friendliness rivals the best in the world - including our former favorite, the Peninsula in Beverly Hills. Luisa, the general manager is hands on & couldn’t be more helpful in assisting us with the most minute details. Brava! Her front office staff consisting of Alexandra, Gaia & Francesco are simply amazing! WOW! We were truly impressed with their strong desire to help in any way they could. Grazie mille! The breakfast staff was delightful, especially Halim (please forgive spelling). We were privileged to meet the owner/visionary, Giulia, who invited us & other guests to her phenomenal winery, Costa di Ghirlanda, which is a short drive away. We had a grand time & can’t wait to return. We’ve been spoiled beyond what words could fully express.

Breathtaking!

We were in Pantelleria for a 3 days wedding event and the first evening was a get together wedding reception at Sikelia luxury resort.

Nice ambiance and high chill factor here as the wines flow. Caught the amazing sunset at the rooftop with Pantelleria region wines in hand and finger foods - cannot get any better than this...

Wedding reception over an amazing sunset 

What an amazing experience- from when we were picked up and taken to the Property's private boat Esparanza- two stories both decked out in various giant scatter cushions and bean bags  and lovely staff including private Chef Manuel bringing us local delicacies and the most delicious earthy wines from the hotel's own private Vinyard.. Along the way we stopped for 3 swims and snorkels in the crystal green waters and swum into sea caves. After our day at sea  we checked in to the hotel- through the Golden Door and into Sikelia. An amazing room looking out towards Tunisia all based around the Dammuso house typical to this Island. The resort is very private with a superb vista  and reflects the natural palette of the island in its design. Alexandra and Luisa welcomed us. Alexandra showed us around the resort. The swimming pool is the same water colour as the sea here- a lovely pale green. Rooms are so well appointed with everything you could need and lovely Showers and superb toiletries. The bed i must mention was a bed of dreams- it was so beautiful- like climbing into a nest with beautiful pillows and linen sheets. Sunset is the big highlight here- with nearly all the guests on the roof of the restaurant Dammuso with various levels sipping on drinks and enjoying the amazing views . The restaurant superb- fish five ways  with 5 house made olive oils was so good as was the caper tiramasu. Breakfast was like having a small personal buffet delivered to your table with fine array of local honeys and jams along with many other temptations. There is so much to see and do on this unique Island and this place is the perfect base. I would love one day to return to this Unique property. Pantelleria itself is like a hot version of Iceland. We hope to be back and this time try your Vinyard- which we drove past but didn't get a chance to experience- on the list...

Almost in Africa

Went for lunch, food was outstanding started with Gambero Rosso which was fresh and very well cooked! Main dishes of fish and meat were also very good.

Only problem was when they brought the bill they added a starter that had been brought to us by mistake and they said they would take it off the bill. They also include in the bill a bottle of wine when we only had ordered two glasses. Restaurant was empty so there was no excuse for service to make these mistakes on the bill.
