House Museum of Soap (Casa Museo del Sapone) Tours and Tickets

It can be hard to plan activities in Italy that aren’t extremely costly. This tour of the House Museum of Soap in Sciacca allows you to tour the restored 19th-century building of the museum while learning about the history and science of soap for a very reasonable price. Plus, you can take a workshop and learn how to make your own soap with local ingredients.

This soap and olive experience offers an alternate to winery visits and a chance to learn about the often surprising global history of soap. Take a guided tour of the soap museum—housed in a restored 19th-century building surrounded by olive trees—and learn about eons-old soap-making processes. Then, make your own soap bar and finish with a tasting of local olive oil.

The tour of this soap museum, which is in an old, restored 19th century building with high ceilings and original stonework, will let our visitors experience the beauty of the soap history in the traditional Mediterranean way. Our visitors can know more about soap production and history and understand more about what generally we use every day: soap!

Rural farms on the island of Sicily were once completely self-sufficient, producing their own food and household products from local ingredients. Experience this tradition with a tour and soap-making workshop at the soap museum in the countryside outside Sciacca. After learning about the history of soap and create your own bar, enjoy an extra-virgin olive oil tasting followed by dinner at the olive farm next door.
