Cave Bianche Hotel Favignana

Canne Bianche is much more than a 4 stars hotel in Favignana, it is history, a history linked to ancient crafts and traditions of “the island in the island” and that are still here for you to enjoy on your holiday. Canne Bianche is a 4 stars hotel with swimming pool and all the mod cons, but our roots are firmly planted, rather, carved in local tradition. And above all Canne Bianche is unique like the experience we offer you.

It’s true: we are the first hotel ever to be built in a quarry. The limestone walls offer cool relaxation even in the hottest weather. The surrounding agave, pomegranate and citrus trees along with the scent of rosemary will do the rest, creating a truly uniquea tmosphere.

Surprise your guests with a guaranteed wow effect and, above all, with the highest quality standards. We can organise everything, from the flowers to the music, from the catering to the bar, and the multitude of details that will make your event memorable.

We believe that the privilege of living on this island must be, above all, earned and safeguarded. For this reason we have adopted an eco-friendly philosophy, as the European Union Ecolabel certificates and the Seal of Quality of the Egadi Islands Marine Protected Area testify.

When you enter its heart of stone and sea, the island will capture yours. Forever. The personalised assistance offered by our staff helps this to happen. Besides the extraordinary setting for your experience, we also offer everything that makes a holiday a real holiday: restaurant, bar and solarium, car park, shuttle service, wedding services and, above all, a splendid open-air swimming pool, with whirlpools.

DELUXE ROOMS
The convenience of having more space makes the Deluxe Rooms a favourite with couples on a long holiday and, more in general, for holidaymakers looking for higher quality. Indeed, apart from the size, the Deluxe Rooms differ from the Classic and Superior ones also for the different services offered.

DINING
Enjoy the restaurant at Cave Bianche Hotel, in the magnificent setting of the quarry, with the backdrop of the stone walls and a relaxing lake, let yourself be tempted by the typical Sicilian specialities, revisited with a modern touch. Choose your type of holiday in freedom: half board, full board or the versatility of B&B.

In this way you can design your holiday on Favignana day by day, deciding on a whim: a quick lunch, a pool-side snack or cocktail and, in the evening, a dinner with an à la carte menu at the restaurant open from 20.00 until 22.30.

Take a voyage through tastes, starting with breakfast, served from 7.30 until 10.00. The à la carte menu has sweet and savoury options, including biological products, home-made cakes and the typical specialities of Favignano. Do you have food intolerances? Let the staff know and they will offer you a varied and tasty choice of dishes!

We pay attention to the quality of the raw products to offer you more genuine flavours that reflect our gastronomic traditions. Casarecce with bluefin tuna, squid ink risotto, seared tuna steak, fish, vegetable or meat couscous and more, before finishing perhaps with a characteristic Sicilian cannolo with crispy waffle. A voyage through tastes that you can experience here in the hotel on Favignana!

In-depth knowledge of the island and synergies with the suppliers means we are able to offer fresh products all year round. Even during the high season you will be to savour fresh fish every day!

WEDDINGS IN SICILY
The wedding planner knows why: the starting point for the ideal ceremony is without doubt the location. Choose Favignana if you like thinking outside the box and want originality and heart rending beauty. The coves, the alleys of the small town, the colours and scents of the sea make the island a magnificent setting for photo shoots.

Not only: Favignana can be easily reached by hydrofoil (around 30 min from Trapani) and ferry (around 60 min); the marriage can be celebrated either in a civil ceremony (prior request must be made to the Municipality of Favignana), or in a religious ceremony, in the Madre Maria SS Immacolata church, in piazza Madrice.

In this already unparalleled setting, here is the magic of a unique backdrop at the first hotel in the world located in a quarry. The light reflected naturally by the limestone walls, the charm of the gardens, the scent of the plants, the swimming pool surrounded by greenery, everything is perfect for your happiest day.

Not only commitment and experience, but also the possibility of personalising every detail: poolside aperitif, staging of the catering in the garden, Italian style service with qualified waiting staff, cutting of the cake in the quarry’s amphitheatre and much more magic!

The menu can be personalised for the wedding day and is prepared in the kitchens of the Cave Bianche Hotel. The chefs and their team choose exclusively top quality raw materials, often procured locally, to ensure utmost freshness and respect for traditional Sicilian flavours.

Thanks to the good number of rooms, we can also offer your guests accommodation, providing a detailed rooming list. You can also book the entire hotel, an option which is greatly appreciated for Hotel delle Cave, our other hotel adjacent to Cave Bianche.

LIVE FAVIGNANA
What you can do and see to transform the holiday into a real experience. It is impossible to summarise in just one page centuries of history of the island and its many facets.

Known also as “butterfly on the sea” because of its particular shape, Favignana, the largest of the Egadi Islands, seduces with a play of colours created by the convergence of the blue of the sea and the white of the limestone walls. There are many things to do and see on holiday on Favignana; here are some suggestions.

ENJOY THE SEA
Certainly the first thing that comes to mind. You can choose the beaches and bays with fine golden sand(Cala Azzurra, Lido Burrone, the Calamoni), or the characteristic sand and pebble coves (Punta Longa, Preveto, Faraglioni and Punta Sottile).

CALA ROSSA
All the coves on Favignana are beautiful but Cala Rossa probably deserves a special mention. Several times designated the most beautiful beach in Italy, it is often included among the top ten most beautiful beaches in Europe.

DIVING
Discover the splendid seabeds of Favignana, Marettimo, Levanzo, Maraone and Formica during amazing dives. There are several diving centres and schools that organise activities for beginners and experts.

GROTTOS
To live to the full the beauty of the sea, be sure not to miss the chance to go out to the grottos. A famous one is the Grotta dei Sospiri that can be reached by boat.

BOAT TRIPS
Various boat trips around the islands are organised, with stop at the port of Favignana. From the tour of the Egadi islands to the tour of Favignana and Levanzo, a great way to soak up the beauty of the place.

“PLUNGE” INTO HISTORY“
If you are passionate about history and culture, the island of Favignana won’t let you down. To start, there is the museum of the former Stabilimento Florio with exhibits from different historical periods.

Then there are the Norman castles: Santa Caterina and San Giacomo (even if they are not accessible). The archaeological zone of San Nicola is of real historical interest; we suggest you use the services of a guide if you want to visit.
