Staying at Domus Aleria is like stepping into a design magazine—if that magazine came with soul. This stunning property was once Ignazio’s grandmother’s home, and the love and respect poured into its renovation are evident in every carefully chosen detail. It’s effortlessly chic, blending contemporary architecture with the warmth of memory and heritage. What truly elevates the experience, though, are Ignazio and Simone. They are extraordinary humans—gracious, intuitive, and deeply passionate about what they’ve created. While Domus Aleria doesn’t serve food, they were incredibly helpful in organizing our meals, offering fantastic local recommendations, and even making bookings for us. Thanks to them, we felt less like tourists and more like welcomed guests in this beautiful corner of Sicily. If you’re looking for a place that balances thoughtful design, authenticity, and warm human connection, Domus Aleria is a rare gem. We can’t wait to return.

Honestly, this place spoiled us for anything else. The attention to detail, fabulous decor, just an amazing renovation all in all. Loved the high ceilings and original floors. Big beds, super comfortable accommodations, and everything we needed. Simone and Ignazio were so kind and helpful, we loved them too. Great value for money, plus good location in Sciacca. We would highly recommend Domus Aleria for an extended stay while exploring nearby, as well as trying out the excellent restaurants in Sciacca.

We were on the third floor and there is no lift but Simone helped with our bags on the way in and the way out. It was not a problem for us but other travellers should be aware.

Really outstanding host Ignazio greeted us as we got out of the car, carried our heavy bags up two flights of stairs and made us feel very welcome. The accommodation is superb every detail from the comfort of the mattress to the fantastic shower and excellent air condition in the room all added to the detail to ensure guests were truly spoiled. Ignazio also had time to talk whether it was about the history of the house, good restaurant recommendations or things to see and do in Sciacca. Would certainly recommend Domus Aleria for a stay and hope to go back one day soon.

Nothing could have been better.

We stayed for one night on our journey around Sicily as a convenient stop off after an afternoon at Agrigento. Simone and Ignazio are very attentive hosts, very helpful in helping manage the arrival ( parking in front of the property is tricky), take our heavy luggage up the long staircase of this beautiful historic building and providing lots of advice on restaurants etc. Our room was large and well appointed. The bathroom facilities had been ( very cleverly) built into the bedroom which didn't bother us but the lack of privacy may be an issue for some. Our room fronted a busy street below which made it a bit noisy in the morning but we needed to move fairly early so no problem for us. Sciacca is a small town and easily covered from the property. Breakfast is not offered on the premises. Instead guests are given a token for coffee and pastries at a close by cafe which is perfectly adequate and authentic. Whilst we were at breakfast our luggage was brought down to the entrance hall and Simone was on hand to see us off. A really friendly stop over.

Our stay at Domus Aleria was just perfect! We were welcomed by the two amazing owners, who shown us the room and its facilities. They entertained us with the motivating story of how Domus Aleria was born and we loved every single detail. They also gave us some restaurants' suggestions and other tips about Sciacca. The Domus A. is located in the city centre and it's beautifully decorated. The rooms are very clean, new and the bed was comfy. All great, but the love the owners have for their creation makes all of this Simply perfect. I. and S. are friendly, kind, professional and very welcoming. We would definitely go back!

Ignazio and Simone greeted us with such warmth giving us invaluable advice on things to see and do in Sciacca. The exquisite property was left to Ignazio by his grandmother and has been lovingly restored to a superlative standard. The room we stayed in was perfect - tastefully furnished with high quality bedlinen and premium Turkish cotton towels. The bathroom was luxurious with a cylindrical basin and the rain head shower had great water pressure. We were grateful for the air conditioning, the gifted drinks in the little fridge and our room being made up both days we were there. The stylish bed was extremely comfortable. We loved sitting on the balcony with our morning coffees. The interior design style skilfully blends beautiful antiques with contemporary features to create a beautiful harmonious aesthetic. As suggested by Ignazio and Simone we took a magical trip to the Caves of Dedalo and to The Enchanted Castle. Breakfast was off site at Bar Del Corso where we had delicious croissants, traditional sweet treats and coffee.

We adored everything.

This is a lovely old building beautifully restored. Our room was as expected - bed very comfortable, and quiet at night. Thoughtful touches in room - lovely soap, fluffy towels, great hairdryer, coffee machine, and items in mini bar provided free. Breakfast is provided at a small cafe a very short walk from the property. Ignatzio and Simone helped with parking, and carrying our luggage upstairs - thank you. They also provided suggestions for dinner, and recommended a tuk tuk tour of the town - we really enjoyed this, and getting a real sense of Sciacca. It is possible to base yourself here and tour this part of Scicily easily - Selunente, Salemi, Segesta, Marsala, Agrigento etc. Highly recommend, wish we had stayed longer.

The apartment it is situated in a old Pallazzo in very good conditions. The housts was very nice, they provide us very important inforamtion regarding the touristic obiectives, beaches ( even in the night we disturb them with a question regarding a hospital for our kid and they answere very prompt). All the towels and linens was very clean, the bed and the sofa very confortabel. they provide us in the mini bar water, juice and some beer ( for free). Overall, the apartment it is very clean, quiet and nice. They have a very nice organic soap.For The breakfast you have a vocher in a bar near the hotel, and have everything that you wish ( of course italian breakfast). I will definitely come back and recommand the houst and apartment!

We were sent to a little cafe down the street and it was fine. We were in a sweet (but noisy) neighvorhood in walking distance of many restaurants and plazas.

The coffee maker did not work well in room, so we had to wait for the coffee. Parking was a nightmare and there was no real clairy given about how and where to park. Regardless, you do have to park about 1/2 a mile away and schlep your luggade up 3 long flights of stairs.

The property is gorgeous. The rooms are gorgeous. The owners are so helpful. Please remember you are in a small, ancient, Italian town so some things may not seem easy but the guys help with everything. Enjoy their place, enjoy Sciacca. Everything here was top notch. The bed was so comfortable too.

Everything was great!
