Tonnara di Bonagia

Antique Sicilian "tonnara" of the seventeenth Century, carried back to its original charm through an accurate restoration, covers the whole area of the historic seaside village.

The Hotel Tonnara di Bonagia is located in the immediate proximity to Valderice, on the slopes of Mount Erice, in the picturesque old fishing village of Bonagia 12 kilometres from Trapani and can be reached from the Provincial Road which connects Trapani to St. Vito Lo Capo.

The exclusive hotel estate is situated near the Saracen sighting tower in which is now possible to visit the "Tunny-fishing" Museum.

Airport of Trapani - 9 km. Airport of Palermo - Bonagia 92 km - 49 km motorway.  Airport Catania - Fontanarossa - Bonagia 294 km - 217 km motorway.

The elegant and comfortable rooms and suites are all provided with finely crafted furniture and most of them with lovely balconies, facing either onto the splendid bay of Cofano or onto the internal courtyard ("baglio") which looks towards the little port and mount Erice. The rooms are elegantly furnished in typical Sicilian style and carefully decorated giving particular care to the small decorative details.

Therefore, the cuisine is excellent, using prime quality ingredients and inspired by the noblest Trapani gastronomic traditions, serving unusual and appetising dishes both for lunch and dinner. Its name is taken from the characteristic boat used by the “rais”, head of the “mattanza”.
