gli AROMI — Local services in Scicli

Where do I begin? Gli Aromi is a masterpiece of nature overlooking the SE coast of Sicily, from Marina di Modica - Sampieri to Marina Di Ragusa, this eaterie is run by the most wonderful couple, one would dream of coming across. Foodies and producers, they lay an exceptional selection of tastes made from the best ingredients and using all of their own products and herbs. One can spend a whole afternoon, listening to Enrico in his passionate pursue for everything organically produced at the estate, nature at its best, and when it comes to sunsets, I promise, you will not find such a tranquility anywhere else; we keep going back to enjoy this setting, the food and the company of this exceptional couple; Gli Aromi is only a short walk from Villa Santa Rosalia, a masterpiece of 19th century architecture, the summer palace of Sicilian nobility. Baron Penna & the Mormino family holidayed at Villa Santa Rosalia, in the vicinity of Gli Aromi, many-a-times, so no excuse, we keep visiting Gli Aromi and I am sure when you do, you will return too; Enrico & Rita a...

We had the extreme pleasure to visit this farm while in Sicily. Enrique and Rita are wonderful hosts and it is clear they have a passion for what they do. We enjoyed a nice tour of their farm with Enrique who is most definitely gifted in speaking. His seamless transition between languages was nothing short of amazing! He is engaging and has a wonderful sense of humor, keeping us interested and laughing the entire time. Of course, he is also very knowledgeable about herbs, giving us lots of interesting information about the herbs. Then came the lunch featuring many of their delicious products. Rita is a true mastery Chef! Everything was incredible! Do not miss sampling Rita’s homemade jams! Wow!!!! Pairing perfectly with cheese. We ended up buying every variety she makes! …among other wonderful products. Last, but not least are the views! Wow!!! You can see much of Sicily below and all the way out to the sea. Wonderful place to watch the sunset. This is a MUST see place while visiting Sicily. Truly one of our highlights while...

WOW. Talk about making someone's day! Spending one day in Pozzallo and Scicli, I looked online for an excursion to visit whilst in Sicily. I found gi Aromi on trip advisor and was SO excited to check it out based on the picture and what others had to say about the herb farm. I called in the morning and set up a tour in the afternoon. Enrique was SO very flexible and kind, it was never an issue that I was the only one touring that afternoon, he was more than happy to fit me in and show just me around. The entire facility is beautifully situated in the Sicilian countryside and I would love to return for one of the many yearly events he told me about. (Specialty dishes, concerts, retreats, weddings etc!) He is so very warm, kind and obviously very passionate about what he does. I would HIGHLY recommend stopping in to say hello and see the beautiful farm. I never once felt like a guest, much more like a friend. He even gave some local recommendations for tasty eats and cannoli! Thank you so much for my favorite memory from Sicily!!! I hope to...
