Can you imagine the sea in front of your bed
cradling your now weightless thoughts?
You can experience the ancient seaside village in one of the fifteen newly refurbished apartments.
A place out of time and frenzy, where you can regenerate your mind by listening to the sound of the waves, where you can open the window and see only the blue of the sky and the sea with the stacks as the only protagonists.
The Tonnara di Scopello is a rare and sincere testimony to tuna fishing and the history of the Mediterranean.
We can’t wait to meet you and make you daydream
All of our apartments overlook the sea. As soon as you open the shutters of your room the view will leave you breathless. Each room is unique, characterised by its historical and architectural past, cared for to make you feel the Sicilian tradition in every detail.
An open-air museum where you will discover the ancient tradition of mattanza, which for centuries has been the main player in the economy of the Sicilian coast. You will be guided through the premises of the Tonnara to discover all the tools of the time, the art of weaving necessary to compose the nets and all the original boats. We will show you the faces of the tuna fishermen and the mattanza through unpublished photos from years gone by, which display the bloody battle between man and nature.
The Tonnara is the ideal place to host your events. A vast Mediterranean garden on the coast overlooking the stacks is the perfect setting for your unforgettable moments. You will find spaces adaptable to any occasion and will be amazed by the incredible variety of colours and landscapes that this enchanted place offers.
Why is the Tonnara unique?
The sea is only the best setting for this place, with much more to discover..
Until recently, the Tonnara could only be reached by rowing from the sea.
Today it is much easier to visit us even from the most distant places.
“It’s easy to be happy here, but it requires an adjustment that is as much biological as cultural: learning to live on Sicilian time.”
