Description
The Tonnara, which was built by the Foderà family at the beginning of the 20th century, is located a few meters from the sea in the territory of Castellammare del Golfo, and takes its name from the valley located at the foot of this charming seaside village.

The Foderà family has been the owner of the Tonnara for generations, and today they also own a share in the ancient Tonnara of Scopello. During the last century, they managed other tuna fisheries in the Trapani area and in Libya.

The elegant main house is spread over two levels and also includes the ancient watchtower, which was used in the past to monitor the other nearby tuna fisheries.

We stayed in the top floor turret. Unfortunately, no one expected luxury, but given the fantastic location 10 meters from the shore and the tranquility of the place, some minimal maintenance of the interiors is necessary. It's fine to keep the original fixtures and doors, of course, but broken tiles (also dangerous because raised by 1 cm from the floor level!) and walls with falling plaster are not acceptable. The real gem is the garden, very beautiful and lovingly cared for. We still had a very good time.

The structure is incredibly charming, at times a bit run down. From the room, you can constantly hear the sound of the sea lulling you to sleep and entering your room. However, the cleanliness of the rooms and linen leaves much to be desired. Additionally, breakfast is not provided by the managers, and it is not easy to find bars and shops in the immediate vicinity.

The Tonnara Foderà is a wonderful and unique building. You can tell that there is a great care put into keeping the house, its garden and beachfront beautiful and prestine clean. The rooms are very tastefully decorated and benefit from an incredible view of the sea. We had an excellent time and really enjoyed staying in such a special and unique place. The communication with the host was very easy and friendly and on site we were very well received. There are a few restaurants right next to the house as well as a cafe/bar which is very convenient. Thank you for a wonderful stay, we are looking forward to coming back to the Tonnara!

A lovely place, an indescribable peace. It feels like sleeping in a dream, lulled by the sound of the sea. Excellent reception, very kind both the owner and the caretaker.

A place out of time. The history, the architecture, the sea, the sound of the waves. A happy break from the daily routine of big cities.

It's really the case to say a window on the sea! Beautiful experience, breathtaking view, it's worth climbing the stairs! An oasis of tranquility, privacy, and absolute relaxation. You fall asleep lulled by the lapping of the waves. A dream.

The structure could be beautiful, if it were maintained and managed differently. It is in a fantastic location, on the beach with plenty of space available. But starting from the steps at the entrance, it is rather neglected. We never met a host. We were greeted, after wandering through the building, by a non-EU citizen who did not speak a language known to most. Subsequently, a compatriot of his, slightly less unprepared, arrived and showed us to our accommodation. The room on the top floor offers a breathtaking view. Peeling plaster, non-existent wardrobe, window fixtures more than worn. To reach our accommodation with a kitchen in front of the room and a bathroom on the lower floor, without an external key, so that anyone could have access, we had to pass through the first floor, where there was the accommodation of non-EU citizens with cats and visible litter boxes, an ironing board on display and the relative rubbish bin. The beach in front of the structure could have been cleaned of materials brought in by the sea and minimally equipped, since there were sun loungers for free use. Everything felt abandoned, except for a rectangle of garden in front of the entrance that was daily maintained by staff. It could be truly splendid if they took care of it.

The answer from the host:
Gentile Signora, la Sua recensione è fortemente inficiata dall’averLe noi negato la possibilità di disdire la prenotazione, e di questo mi dispiace. Ma trattandosi di semplice affitto di un piccolo appartamento non avremmo fatto in tempo a trovare un altro ospite. Si tratta di una casa privata, che non può offrirLe i servizi dell’ospitalità alberghiera, mi dispiace. Cordiali saluti, Rosa Maria.

Un luogo magico, fuori dal tempo. Esperienza di assoluto charme. Struttura elegante nella sua estrema semplicità. Restauri essenziali a garantire un ottimo soggiorno e nello stesso tempo a mantenere il sapore e l'atmosfera del luogo. Da provare.
