Built in 1873 by the Genoese industrialist Eugenio Pretto, for the conservation and processing of sardines, the artisanal factory called "I Pretti" from the distorted name of its builder, was sold in 1874 to the most inspired entrepreneur of the Florio family, Ignazio Senior.
The charm of I Pretti R.T.A. finds its maximum expression in the attention to detail, elegance and strong personalities of its 16 Suites, 13 of which with direct access from the garden courtyard. A few meters from the life of the tourist port and the center of Favignana, in the heart of I Pretti R.T.A. an enchanting Mediterranean garden opens up, measuring over 2000 m2, lush and silent, where you can have breakfast, have a drink or relax under the blue sky or in the light of the stars. Just a few steps are enough to look out into a particularly evocative environment that recalls the atmosphere of the deck of an ancient cruise ship. It is the terrace of I Pretti R.T.A., refined by carpets of original nineteenth-century tiles and overlooking the intense blue of the sea overlooking Levanzo. A privileged position to dominate the entire gulf of Favignana from above, with a view of the Art Nouveau Palazzo Florio, designed by Damiani Almeyda for the Florio family, of the Port, of the fascinating ancient Florio factory and of the Castle on the mountain of Santa Catherine.
