More about Ortigia
Ortigia is a small Italian soap and scent company founded in Sicily. The luxurious range of scents are formulated using natural products indigenous to Sicily and inspired by the aesthetics, colours and scents of Italy’s most historic and tropical region.
The perfumes are distilled from the flowers of Sicily by master perfumer, Lorenzo Villoresi. The base of all the products is natural perfume and natural ingredients: olive oil, vegetable glycerine, and organic colours.

The range uses traditional products with modern ethics and integrity. All Ortigia products are made by small family companies who pride themselves on the quality of their products. The highly decorative packaging draws on exotic Sicilian images and colours.
The name Ortigia comes from the small island that lies at the edge of the ancient fortified city of Siracusa, on Sicily’s southeastern coast. The streets of Ortigia are crumbling baroque façades of great splendour looking out on 3 sides to the sea. The Piazza del Duomo is considered one of the most beautiful in Italy. Situated on the southeastern side of Sicily, this part of the island is known as “la Sicilia Orientale” because of its proximity to Africa and almost tropical climate. In the rich volcanic soil of Mount Etna – Europe’s highest active volcano – there are hundreds of orange & lemon groves – the only place where blood oranges grow – also grapefruit trees, almonds, pistachios, saffron, vines, olives and cactus.

from 25 reviewsThe beautiful scent of Rose Geranium never ceases to lift the spirits :-)

A wonderfully refreshing scent and a lovely consistency.

Been buying from this company for years .. that said it all really

I have been using Castello De Haye soaps for many years, and they remain an absolute favourite of mine. The fragrance is simply wonderful fresh, natural, and uplifting and it lingers gently on the skin without being overpowering.
The soap creates a lovely, creamy lather that cleanses both the body and face beautifully, leaving the skin feeling soft, refreshed, and cared for. I love that it’s a product I can trust year after year, knowing it delivers the same high quality every time.
It’s a little everyday luxury that I wouldn’t be without.

These products are very good value, the combination of essences as well as their presentation and care to the environment is outstanding thank you Castello de Haye.

Amazing soap with a wonderful scent 😊

My go to soap! Fabulous and pure the oats and honey really are gentle in the skin as are all Castello products.
I really cannot manage without it now

Great product. Keeping coming back for more . Been buying from this company for years.

Fabulous fresh mint aroma and lasts for ages as you only need a small amount! suffering from sore hand using other chemical based soap in the past the soap from Castello De Haye is a life saver I just couldn’t be without it!!!

Beautiful soaps for a gift . Just love them

A beautiful classic oil that smells lovely. I always prefer Castellos oils as they smell as they should, not like some cheaper mixes on the market.

Arrived within 24 hours amazing at this time of year, excellent product. Many Thanks
Looking forward to receiving them. Your products are all fantastic I have most of them and hopefully a few new ones! keep up the good work 😊 Looking forward to the new website

Wow! Just used the pure patchouli soap and it's divine. Been looking for an authentic patchouli smell from a soap and it is perfect. Highly recommend.
