Directions to Chiare Stelle, Casa Roncaglia

While we will provide transportation to and from Hotel Mursia and the Yacht Marina Hotel (located in Pantelleria town) for the Friday degustation and the Saturday wedding ceremony, we wanted to include directions to our house for those adventurous guests who will be renting a car. Below are directions from Scauri (from the direction of Mursia). Just follow the white Panda!


Here is the Panda passing in front of La Nicchia, a restaurant that we highly recommend for its fish and pasta dishes. Ask for a seat in the charming giardino pantesco (a traditional garden enclosed by cyclindrical wall of stones to protect plants from the wind).

Shortly after passing La Nicchia and turning a few more curves you will enter Scauri center, where the church takes prominent position, as with most small towns in Italy.
Turn left at the piazza in front of the church in the direction of the 'Casbah' store.

You will pass in front of a pharmacy.

Continuing down the road you will encounter a fork with a road sign. Turn left towards Rekhale.

At this point, you want to turn off the main road onto a very narrow road that can very easily be overlooked. Look at the Panda and you will see what we mean. Look for the road sign with the speed limit.

The road should look like this.


Continue along this road until you reach the end. At the three-way intersection you need to turn left. Look for the pink house.
The road should look like this (stone wall and higher elevation to your right).

Almost immediately thereafter you will reach a point in the road that may be slightly confusing. Stay on the road, which is to the left. The path on the right is the driveway to someone's house.

1.5 km from the Scauri town sign and the start of our journey, you will reach Chiare Stelle, Casa Roncaglia. Benvenuti!
