Tonnara Foderà di Magazzinazzi

Stunning ‘ photo shoot’ location on fabulous beach

Pros: Absolutely stunning location on a fabulous beach . Beach chairs available to sit on ( stone rather than sand) beach . Sound of crashing waves was magnificent by day and night . Lovely blue rattan furniture and chairs to sit on and face the beach. Similar green furniture in garden on other side . Lovely garden and well maintaining . The entire house , its style and its decor whilst not modern should not be modern as the the aesthetic is perfect . There’s great history to the house and I was intrigued by all the big ropes in the lower floors ( which is why I read up on the history). You clearly book Rooms that gave the beach or face the garden .

Cons: We booked a one room apartment for 3 and had no idea that it was up 5 flights of stairs up in the tower . We are fit and so climbing stairs is not an issue but the photos led us to believe we were on the ground floor and would just step out onto the beach . We were in the ‘Tower’ and it is beautiful but I just didn’t expect such a climb. The bathroom is a floor lower that the apartment itself and that’s two sets of steep stairs where extreme caution is advised if going to bathroom in middle of night . The hostess very kindly offered to change us to first floor but that meant garden view only and sharing a kitchen - I like my privacy and I have no intention of taking responsibility if others don’t clean up . We didn’t meet any staff except for Stali who is the housekeeper I believe . He showed us our apartment and was helpful but doesn’t speak English . But saying that , I don’t speak Italian . We didn’t see him really during our stay and saw no one else . Hot water ran out for over 24 hours and I was disappointed that there was no reply to my text about this . I don’t mind a cold shower but had to boil water in pots to wash dishes . Bathroom needs a new shower curtain

Pros: Amazing location, funky interior, great staff - shoutout to William. Kitchen was fantastic too!

Cons: No air conditioning made it very hard to sleep at night. Couldn’t open windows because there was no fly screen, and staying a Saturday night meant the club down the road was extremely loud until 4am.

lovely views and a charming old building

Pros: We loved staying in the tower of this beautiful old building. The room was decorated very nicely and we had our own kitchenette. The view of the ocean from our window was breathtaking. The garden was a peaceful spot and there were lots of communal areas to hang out.

Cons: Having no aircon meant we had to sleep with a loud fan and the windows open to the noises of the restaurant below which went till 2am some nights. The hot water went out at one stage but did come back on. It was not always easy to find staff.

A peaceful, beautiful and fulfilling stay by the sea in a charming historic building. I wish we stayed longer.

Pros: A relaxing, charming and peaceful stay. I don’t understand the negative reviews - you should understand when booking that this is a historic building with charm and decor that fits the style of the building. This stay won’t be equivalent to a hotel but instead it is an experience and a rare opportunity to stay in the most beautiful historic building on the sea with a cool, well kept garden.

Cons: N/A

a gift to oneself

Pros: We liked magnificent sound of the sea and the sea breeze that flowed in from all the windows and doors widely open. Decoration was beautiful and cool the vibe inside and outside was so different from ordinary places. we had also the luck to meet the owner who talked about the history of his family`s tonnara. It was so interesting and such a pleasure. This is really really special and wonderful place to stay.

fabulous !

Pros: I very much appreciated the warm welcome , the owner was very kind and accommodating with my requests and I had a wonderful stay . The property has immense charm and the location is fantastic right on the beach in a quiet area and what a view ! This place is a true gem and a unique experience

Pros: We stayed in the independent Casa and this had our own terrace which was just amazing. The location couldn’t possibly be more beautiful. The place was super spacious and could accommodate more than 2 people. We enjoyed the quiet, the sound of the waves and having pizza right on the beach. Absolutely amazing 🥰

Cons: There’s not much to do in walking distance but that’s not necessarily a negative thing. Furniture/bathroom is not super modern but fits the charm and the style of the the building.

Pros: Unique and beautiful place with amazing sea views. The decor is \

Cons: Seems a bit pricey for the dated interior, but sea view and solitude of the place make up for it. We wanted to stay at the premises after checkout which would have cost 10 EUR per person - seemed a bit expensive, as there was no shower room or anything, just for staying in the garden / at the beach and having access to coffee and water... (and the night cost 216 EUR)....

Struttura meravigliosa, servizi da migliorare

Pros: La location è stupenda. Dalla finestra si sente il rumore del mare. La tonnara ti dà la sensazione di fare un salto nel passato. La figlia del proprietario è stata molto gentile nel mostrarci i magazzini, dandoci spiegazioni molto valide e approfondite

Cons: La camera non era estremamente pulita. In una struttura del genere mi sarei aspettato la camera riassettata in due giorni. Inoltre sarebbe un plus per la struttura, visto anche il costo, fornire una prima colazione magari proprio in spiaggia o nel bellissimo giardino, nonché un calice di benvenuto all'arrivo.

Pros: Une Tonnara avec du vécu,,une maison avec une grande âme. Une deco que j adore Emplacement parfait, entre Alcamo Marina et Castellamare del Golfo. J ai aimé m endormir aux sons des vagues. Je reviendrai

Cons: Ce que je n ai pas aimé c'est qu il y avait du thé mais plus de dosette café !
