With very thick walls and high domed ceilings, the ambient of these old homes is superb and unique. The high domed roofs feed rain water to cisterns that also accompany this style of home. Historically, there was no source of fresh water on Pantelleria except rain water. Today the island has fresh water delivery services and two large sea-water desalination plants.
