Baglio Oneto dei Principi di San Lorenzo - Luxury Wine Resort
Aristocratic Sicilian agriturismo meets genuine 5-star comfort. Old stone walls, hand-worked wrought iron, hand-painted ceramics, wooden beam ceilings — it all feels authentically rooted rather than staged. Family-run warmth cuts through the formality. Wine is the real organizing principle here.
Book the Tower Suite for the Terrace of Venus sunset aperitivo — it faces directly toward the Egadi Islands and is the best seat in the house at dusk.
Why It Matters
One of the rare luxury properties in western Sicily that owns its own working winery and still operates under the original noble family's ownership. The 18th-century defense tower — now the property's top suite — offers a 360-degree panorama from Capo Boeo (westernmost tip of Sicily) all the way to Erice. Recognized by Condé Nast Johansens, Traveller Made, and Select Hotels & Resorts.
Baglio Oneto is a 5-star luxury wine resort built into an 18th-century fortified manor that still belongs to the Palmeri Oneto family — the same noble lineage that has been making Marsala wine here for generations. Set on a hill 150 meters above sea level in western Sicily, the views stretch from the Egadi Islands and Mozia to Mount Erice. The property produces nine of its own wines, presses its own olive oil, and the saltwater infinity pool suspended above the vineyards is genuinely special.
Where You'll Stay
9 room types available
Connecting Room with Terraces
Two 24 sqm Superior rooms linked by an interior casket door, making 48 sqm total with private terraces for families or groups of up to 4 adults plus a child. Garden view. Good option for families who want adjacent rooms without sharing a single space.
Multiple configurations · 48 sqm
Deluxe with Balcony – Sea & Island View
The key step up from Superior is this sea-facing room. Same 24 sqm floor plan but the view changes everything — you're looking out over the Mediterranean toward the Egadi Islands and watching the sun drop into the sea at dusk. Balcony included.
King or Twin on request · 24 sqm
Historic Tower Suite of the 18th Century
The crown jewel of the property — a genuine 18th-century defense tower converted into a two-storey suite. At 34 sqm plus a 17 sqm private rooftop solarium, this is the only room in the property with a true 360-degree panorama from Capo Boeo (Sicily's westernmost tip) to Erice. Larch and chestnut woodwork, exposed brick, chromotherapy shower, king-size wrought-iron bed. The rooftop has chaise longues and a table — completely private.

King (wrought-iron frame, Dorelan Memory Foam) · 34 sqm
Junior Suite with Balcony – Frontal Sea and Islands View
A 31 sqm junior suite with a balcony and direct frontal views of the sea and Egadi Islands. The 'sunset on the beach' position means the light in the evening is exceptional. Relaxation area included.
King or Twin on request · 31 sqm
Junior Suite with Balcony – Pool and Crenellated Tower View
A 33 sqm junior suite with a balcony looking directly at the historic crenellated defense tower and the pool. The tower as your view is actually a pretty striking sight. Relaxation area included, sunset sea view in the distance.

Junior Suite with Vineyard View

King or Twin on request · 35 sqm
Superior with Balcony – Countryside View
The entry-level Superior rooms at 24 sqm. Not huge — honest about that. But they're quiet, renovated in 2020, and dressed in traditional Sicilian materials: hand-painted ceramics, wrought iron, solid wood, tiled floors with floral motifs. Each has a balcony overlooking the Marsala countryside. Dorelan memory foam mattresses, Smart TV, minibar, kettle, bathrobes and slippers. King-size bed (180x200 cm) or twin on request.
King (180x200cm) or Twin on request · 24 sqmSuperior with Terrace – Countryside View
Same 24 sqm footprint as the standard Superior but with a larger 15 sqm private terrace instead of a balcony — a meaningful upgrade if you want to sit outside with your coffee. Ground floor, countryside view. Same Sicilian-style décor and memory foam mattresses.

35,000 sqm of estate grounds with ancient olive trees, mulberries, almond, prickly pears, citrus. The property is notable for birdwatching (calandra larks, falcons, wild pigeons) and wildlife spotting (foxes, rabbits, porcupines, tortoises).
The most recommended activity on the property. A guided tour through the estate's historic aging cellar, tasting across the 9 wine labels produced by the Oneto family — including whites (Dara Inzolia, Quintessenza Zibibbo, Imaginari Grillo, Principe Carmelo), reds (Dara Nero d'Avola, Nero d'Avola Barrique, Sabina Merlot), and liqueurs (Odinetto Zibibbo Passito and the flagship Marsala DOC Virgin Reserve). Olive oil tasting included.
The Stagnone nature reserve a few kilometers from the resort is one of Italy's top kitesurfing spots — the underwater Neptune Grass calms wave height and the Marsala winds are consistent. The resort can help arrange access.
Every evening on the panoramic Terrace of Venus: wines, beers, estate Marsala-cocktail specials, with the sea, Egadi Islands, and Stagnone Nature Reserve spread out below.
