I'm not sure how a museum can be so unassuming from the outside yet is a real gem inside. There is only a small name on the buzzer to enter but what lies inside is wall to wall ceramic tiles and also displays of vintage pieces and furniture. Entrance fee included a personal guided tour in english or italian. A wonderful experience.

We loved our visit to Mulino ad Acqua. Each unique space gives you a great insight into the history of the area and how people lived there. Seeing the mill in action and operated the latest in many generations of millers who have worked there is really fascinating.

During Targa Florio Classica in October this year we visited this wonderful place owned by Nuccio Salemi. Nuccio immediately opens litterally all doors for you and makes you feel welcome as if you are part of his family. And to be honest, within an hour you actually ARE part of the family. What a coincidence that the artist who made the wall painting also was present. You can see him on the picture next to Nuccio. Dear Nuccio, thanks again for your warm welcome and great hospitality. Keep up the good work, and we surely will be back! Kind regards, Marcel Joris, Netherlands

Casa Museo del Sapone

A soap museum dedicated to the history and science of soap. The museum is an old, restored 19th century building with high ceilings and original stonework. On display, are two old presses and other agricultural tools, typical of South West Sicily. The inspiration to open a soap museum, comes from our experience in making and producing soap and natural cosmetics. We would like to share our passion and knowledge about the history, science and technicalities of soap making, to eveyone interested in learning more about this essential product, which started to be produced in 2800 B.C. All the visits to the museum are guided tours, and at the end of your visit you will have the chance to try our products. We are open ONLY with a reservation, and you may book a tour online or by calling us.
