The Circle programme

The Circle programme begins on Sunday evening at 7:00 PM with a welcome reception and dinner, concluding with a farewell dinner on Friday evening. Departure is scheduled for Saturday morning, no later than 10:00 AM. The venue location will be communicated prior to your arrival.

If you wish to explore the island of Pantelleria, you may arrive on Saturday before the programme begins and enjoy the Dammuso’s pool and sun loungers.

The programme takes place in a traditional Dammuso, the iconic architecture of Pantelleria born from Arab civilization and centuries of local craftsmanship. These remarkable structures were designed to harmonize with the island’s unique conditions: strong winds, intense heat, scarce rainfall, and abundant volcanic stone.

Every architectural element serves a purpose: domed roofs channel precious rainwater into cisterns, while walls up to 1.4 meters thick provide natural insulation against summer heat and winter cold. Small windows and doors further protect against the elements. Many Dammusi feature an adjacent circular stone structure called a “Jardinu,” where fruit trees grow sheltered from the relentless island winds.

Each participant will have a private single-occupancy room with full board (breakfast, snacks, lunch, and dinner throughout the programme).

Please pack casual clothing, swimwear, sunscreen, and comfortable hiking shoes to fully enjoy the island’s natural beauty.

Programme sessions run from 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM, with a two-hour lunch break allowing you to enjoy Pantelleria’s sea and sunshine.

The Circle is designed as a “business-free” retreat. We ask participants to avoid scheduling business meetings during the programme week and to limit email access to brief periods during personal time only.
Airport transfers will be arranged according to your arrival and departure times. Car rental is also available at preferential rates (e.g., Fiat Panda at €50/day). Please let us know as soon as possible if you’d like to reserve a vehicle.
Saturday arrivals (the day before the programme) include accommodation, but meals are at your own arrangement and expense.
