Pensione Tranchina

Hotel in Scopello-Castellammare del Golfo in the city center

Pensione Tranchina is not a hotel in the usual sense. It's a family home in the quiet centre of Scopello, above the coast, where guests are welcomed with a generosity and attention that many places have forgotten. Run by the Tranchina family since 1974. Each evening, guests gather before dinner — a glass of wine, conversation, stories from the day. By the time you sit down to eat, the room feels familiar. A different menu every night, traditional Sicilian cooking. Mornings bring a generous breakfast — ricotta from nearby Segesta, homemade jams from our own fruit trees, fresh bread, and strong coffee. Twenty metres from the village square. The coast is on foot. Zingaro Nature Reserve under 2 km. Recognised over the years by The Guardian and Lonely Planet — not for finery, but for honest quality and care. Rooms are simple, well-kept, and have everything you need — a base for your days, not a place to stay indoors. Two offer private balconies with sea views — worth requesting early. Some guests come once. Many come back.

Our breakfast

For breakfast, we aim to please both sweet and savory lovers. We will serve homemade sweets, fresh seasonal fruit, our jams, different every day (oranges, figs, apricots) and local honey, cured meats, freshly baked bread in a wood-fired oven. We will also let you taste our organic olive oil, Sicilian cheeses and fresh sheep's ricotta.

Restaurant

In our kitchen, we use only fresh, local and authentic products, as we want you to taste and appreciate the finest ingredients our land has to offer. The dinner menu is fixed, consisting of a first course, a fish dish, a side dish, fruit and dessert. The menu changes every day, allowing you to taste different first courses of Sicilian tradition or our family tradition, such as pasta with the trapanese pesto, pasta with sardines and fennel, a reinterpretation of the "pasta alla norma". Among the fish dishes, carefully prepared with simplicity to preserve the flavor of the sea, are tuna, sweet and sour or grilled, prawns, dentex baked in salt, but also many "poor" fish, such as the "a beccafico" sardines, the forkbeard and the bonito. For those who wish, we also prepare meat dishes or vegetarian dishes. In our guesthouse, we do not serve lunch, giving you the freedom to enjoy the beauty of Western Sicily or relax on the beach and taste the delicacies that Sicilian street food has to offer: "pane cunzato" (bread baked in a wood-fired oven, seasoned with olive oil, oregano, anchovies, tomatoes and first salt cheese), arancini, sfincione (Sicilian pizza), panelle and much more.
