A LUXURY OASIS OFF THE COAST OF SICILY

2009-02-05T04:48:00.000-08:00

Every now and then we come across something so special that we are reluctant to share it with others. Pantelleria is one of those hidden gems which remains largely undiscovered and an oasis of peace and calm, but it wouldn't be fair to keep this pearl of the Mediterranean under wraps.

A beautiful island which sits in the Mediterranean between Sicily and Tusnisia, Pantelleria provides a tranquil heaven for those looking to escape the pressures of modern day life in a luxurious setting.

Bridgewater is proud to represent a collection of stylish suites situated in the most prestigious setting on the island. Each suite is individual in design with tasteful and elegant furnishings ideal for summer living and stunning views of the surrounding bay. Mobile phones don't work at this resort, you will have to walk approximately 1500 metres to find the nearest signal which is why the likes of Julia Roberts, Madonna, Sharon Stone and Audrey Tautou choose to holiday on Pantelleria.

The suites share a swimming pool with splendid sea views but if you are looking for the ultimate indulgence, the Imperial suite has it's own private pool and is the ultimate luxury experience.

The friendly and professional reception will arrange as much or as little as you need. Massages in your suite, boat trips, or invite friends for dinner and they can arrange caterers for you.
If you are looking for a unique island experience then the Pantelleria suites are ideal for that 'something special', DIRECT flights to Pantelleria from Milan, Bologna, Rome and Venice, or you can take a ferry from Trapani in Sicily.

Pantelleria is the largest of Sicily's islands and one of the Southern most spots in Europe only 30 miles from Africa so you can imagine that the weather is likely to be kind to you most times of the year. Prices for accommodation from £150 to £800 per person per night. (Half board)
