Exceptional discovery! - I'm from Palermo, big fan of the beauties of my city and I didn't know him... Exceptional discovery! The interiors, the original ceramic floors, the wooden roofs, the ancient structures of the old tower and the well-kept furnishings. The heirlooms, countless family photos, historical facts and anecdotes told very fluidly, made us spend a pleasant hour of guided tour by Andrea, one of the owners / heirs who together with the family still lives in the Palace. Absolutely not to be missed!

Great tour of family estate led by family members. - My wife was keen to take this tour. I wasn’t. She was right. It was very interesting. Tour of an ancient family Palacio led by members of the family. The group was 12-18 adults.

Guided tour accompanied by the prince's son - The visit of the palace with the Guide of the Prince's son was the most fascinating experience of these two days in Palermo. We walked through the rooms of the family home still inhabited and lived listening to anecdotes and stories about every single detail that had a story to tell.

Women, knights, weapons and loves ... at Palazzo Federico - Palermo - A very suggestive visit. Immersed in the history and present of one of the oldest lineage families in Palermo. The sons of Count Federico have fully lived up to their title of Knights - With elegance and naturalness they welcome guests and visitors to the palace, in a path full of anecdotes and history. Generations of counts and knights who have inhabited the wonderful rooms of this prestigious building. The commitment of the heirs to preserving such a cultural heritage is certainly commendable and should be acknowledged.

Brilliant tour of beautiful historic palazzo - Fantastic from beginning to end. Welcomed by one of the son’s of the current Count who was the guide for the tour, we visited room after room with fascinating history. From ceramic ballroom floors showing all the properties owned by the Counts family, to the secrets on the ceilings this was a very engaging visit. The palazzo is built round one of only 3 of the original 12th century Arab towers built to defend the city and was as special as that makes it sound!
