Casa Dell'Aromatario b&b

A delightful labor of love, 10-plus years from conception to actualisation, featuring 50-plus fragrant herbs (including many we’d never smelt before) as well as the building, curated and introduced by the charming brothers. Well worth the hour we spent

What a little gem of a place. Sadly we only stayed here for one night, by default as our b@b had double booked us. Silvio went above and beyond to make us feel at home. Beautiful rooms, stunning 1000 year old breakfast room, breakfast was amazing.

If you come to Sciacca, and you should, staying with Silvio and Carmelo is a must. Everything that everyone is saying about this boutique hotel will be confirmed the moment you see the place. Sicilian people are known for their friendliness and warmth and that’s exactly what you get here. The brothers, Carmelo and Silvio, go beyond to make you feel at home and they pay attention to every detail. The breakfast is wonderful and all their recommendations were great!

My wife and I stayed at the lovely B&B Casa dell'Aromatario in early July. This B&B (it's essentially a small boutique hotel) is perfectly situated on one of the main roads through town, with shopping and great restaurants within easy walking distance. Our room was well appointed and super clean. Room cleaning service was unobtrusive and efficient. The town itself, an old fishing village and hour southwest of Agrigento, is more than worth a visit, and the Tuk Tuk excursion is a nice way to get around the steep streets, especially in the historic Byzantine Arab section. What really sets this place apart is the proprietors, Silvio and his brother Carmelo. From waiving us in to a temporary parking spot as we pulled in, insisting on carrying our bags up the stairs to our room, driving with us to nearby parking, and essentially tending to our every question and need, they are a dream team -- incredibly passionate about what they've created and eager to cover whatever you need. Carmelo has created an amazing collection of aromatic herbs in an courtyard behind the B&B, which you can enter though a back door to the hotel or from the side street. We spent an hour with him and enjoyed every minute as he carefully walked us through his creations. At the end, my wife asked for a Coke Zero. Because the B&B didn't carry that variety and it was Sunday, where most shops were closed, we thought we were out of luck. 15 minutes later, Silvio reappeared with the Coke Zero in hand, and who knows where he went to get one for us. But that sort of service sums up our experience at dell'Aromatario. We recommend Sciacca as a nice stop in your travels through Sicily and highly recommend that you stay with Silvio and Carmelo when you come through. Five stars!

Carmelo and Silvio were exceptional hosts. We landed at their B&B quite by accident as we had problems with our car and had to make an unexpected stop in Sciacca. They were very, very helpful. Carmelo helped me find parking close to his home, which he assured me was a safe area; and Silvio contacted a friend of his on a Saturday afternoon, who agreed to look at my car first thing on Monday morning. The room was spacious, very clean and quiet. Breakfast was not sumptuous but it had everything, including one or two items prepared personally by Carmelo. We highly recommend this B&B.

Il B&B casa dell’Aromatario offre un’esperienza unica e esprime in tutte le sue forme l’essenza dell’accoglienza, della condivisione, dell’impegno e della passione dei proprietari. Abbiamo avuto l’occasione di conoscere Silvio, persona genuina e di cuore che ci ha fatto sentire a casa e ospiti privilegiati. La struttura, pazientemente ristrutturata, emana amore e cura nei dettagli; splendida l’esperienza offerta del percorso olfattivo per conoscere le piante aromatiche nel cortile interno da loro coltivate. Camera spaziosa dotata di ogni comfort, area relax composta da due grandi terrazze con scorci caratteristici. Colazione ottima e abbondante con prodotti locali servita nell’antico granaio. Un grazie alla gentilissima signora che si occupa del servizio delle camere, impeccabile! Un grazie di cuore, è un arrivederci! Giulia e Gianluca
