La Tonnara di Scopello, Sicily
Italy
we love...
That the celebrations don’t have to end when the dinner does. Hidden within the cliffs, La Tonnara’s sea cave transforms into one of Sicily’s most unforgettable after-party settings, where cocktails, music and dancing continue just steps from the Mediterranean.

What's So Special about La Tonnara di Scopello?
La Tonnara di Scopello | A Wedding by Sicily’s Most Iconic Bay
There are few places in Sicily as instantly recognisable as La Tonnara di Scopello.
Hidden within its own secluded bay on the island’s north-west coast, this former tuna fishery has become one of Sicily’s most extraordinary places to celebrate. Historic stone buildings frame the water’s edge, the Faraglioni sea stacks rise from the sea beyond and every corner of the estate feels shaped by centuries of life beside the Mediterranean.
Available exclusively, La Tonnara becomes your own private coastal village for the weekend. Ceremonies overlooking the bay lead into aperitivo by the water before dinner is served beneath the open sky in the historic courtyard. As evening falls, the celebrations continue against a backdrop that feels unmistakably Sicilian and unlike anywhere else on the island.
Fifteen apartments sleep up to 55 guests, allowing your closest family and friends to experience the destination together rather than simply arrive for the day. Mornings begin with swims in the crystal-clear sea, afternoons drift between long lunches and quiet corners of the estate, and by evening everyone gathers once again as the celebrations unfold.
Welcoming up to 250 guests, the estate offers remarkable flexibility while never losing the intimacy that makes it so special. Every space feels connected to the sea, with the changing light, salt air and sound of the waves becoming as much a part of the celebration as the setting itself.
La Tonnara di Scopello is for couples searching for somewhere that couldn’t exist anywhere else. Rich in history, defined by its extraordinary setting on Sicily’s north-west coast and surrounded by one of the island’s most breathtaking landscapes – it’s quite simply the kind of destination wedding location your guests will still be talking about long after they’ve flown home.

Transportation
Italy has plenty of public transport, from the trains to the metro in cities like Milan. The roads (and Italian drivers) are notoriously terrifying for foreigners so itโs often better to take a taxi than hire a car.
Public Holidays
Each town in Italy has its own patron saint and shuts down to celebrate the saintโs day each year (e.g. Rome is Sts. Peter and Paul, June 29th). Alongside Christmas and Easter, the other big religious festivals are Epiphany (6th January) and All Saints Day (1st November). All of Italy celebrates Labour Day (1st May) and also Liberation Day (April 25th).
