A slow-paced dip

"I don't think there is a better place to think about the Moon", says Gabriel Garcia Marquez after a trip to Pantelleria.

And it is with the Moon in mind that the lines of Zubebi's swimming pool are oriented. Recalling one of the most recognizable symbols of Islamic culture, Zubebi's pool with its original half-moon shape encapsulates a symbology intimately linked to the history of Pantelleria.

Sheltered from the daily hustle and bustle, a small oasis with an intimate character in which to relax and surrender to the slow pace of the island: an early morning breakfast by the pool, a dip in the clear, refreshing waters and a good glass of Zibibbo while admiring the enchantment of the surrounding landscape as the sun sets over the sea.
