A palace and a home - The tour was particularly interesting because of the commentary by a member of the aristocratic family that had lived in the palace for centuries.

Beautiful palace with a lot of history - Wonderful place full of history. Without a doubt, visiting the Palazzo is one of the best activities you can do in Palermo. The visit is very enjoyable, since the guide is one of the children of the family that lives there. A very kind and fun boy. A very charming place, in the historic center. Highly recommended.

Go there you won't be disappointed - The visit exceeded expectations. Each room was different, full of details and beautiful. A dive into different historical eras. We would have gladly stayed longer to look at everything even better.

A well-guarded historic building, told by those who still live there today… - One-hour tours led by one of the Count's current sons. About fifteen rooms to visit, each with its own particular history. Special mention for the two royal kittens, guardians of the Palace🐱 Highly recommended!

A great fun and educational look at living through the ages in Palermo - It was a unique experience to have a family member who owns the house to guide us. We learned so much of the history of Palermo and the house as well as learning how people lived. The teens in our family were really interested in his talk as well as the adults. A must visit for Palermo!

Deserves your full attention - Guided tours every day except Wednesday at 11,12,13 and 2 p.m. Beautiful discovery of the interior of the Palazzo built around the tower which dates from the 14th century. Commentaries in English and Italian by one of Count Frederick's sons, descendants of FREDERICK II. The family still lives in this Palazzo and it is not uncommon to cross paths with the patriarch, a former car racer. Very interesting.

Original visit to an authentic Palazzo. Do not miss ! - At the bend of the streets of old Palermo, the tour guided by Andrea, the son of the house, allows you to immerse yourself with simplicity in the world of an authentic and family Palazzo, both sumptuous and intimate, full of family memories and historical testimonies. Unexpected and out of time..

Fantastic, a must see. A milestone of the city of Palermo. - Excellent experience, absolutely one of the first things to see in Palermo. A fantastic historic residence, with the peculiarity of being told and illustrated directly by a descendant of the Federico family, founders and owners of the villa for several generations. My partner and I were fascinated and highly recommend this visit.
