Tonnara Foderà di Magazzinazzi transforms a historic tuna fishery into a working venue where ceremonies unfold against the Tyrrhenian Sea and receptions span indoor dining rooms and open-air terraces.
Built into Sicily's coastline near Alcamo, the property sleeps 22 guests on-site while accommodating up to 300 for celebrations, with flexibility to host welcome events, beach ceremonies, and multi-day festivities.
Its operational character, part accommodation, part event space, means your wedding occupies an active cultural landmark rather than a dedicated function hall.
Very, very, very beautiful place to stay near Alcamo/Scopello/Castelammare Del Golfo. This beautiful and antique building is around 140 years old and its a living museum. We stayed in the building (the room on the top floor) and it was very cozy to sleep and wake up with slow waves.
