An hour well spent. - The palazzo was beautiful and had many interesting antiquities. Our guide who was a family member and actually lived there was engaging and informative. Would recommend this to anyone who likes history.

Beautiful building in the heart of Palermo - A wonderful palace rich in history in the historic center of Palermo, described impeccably by the friendly Count Federico, a member of the sixteenth generation of this noble Sicilian family.

WOW! Loved this tour. - Really amazing to visit a palazzo that has been continuously in the same family for 400 years. One of the sons was our guide and he shared wonderful family stories and explained the history of this beautiful home. This is an amazing tour!

Meet the Count's family and hear their story. Excellent. - This is a really excellent tour, guided by the Count's family themselves. Real stories and a timeless palace. We did the Norman Palace followed by the Palazzo Conte Federico (close by, 1100 and 1200).

Off the beaten path - The host is a family member abd this renders the experience more interesting in that you obtain personalized info. The location is in the middle of Ballaro and it's fascinating. The palazzo has a history worthy of a novel. I just loved it!

Do Not Miss This Tour!! - A fascinating glimpse into the lives of a Sicilian family. The palazzo is magnificent as are the furnishings and works of art. The tour was given by one of the 7 family members still living there and it was a wonderful experience for all five of us.

Discover medieval family history in the present day - Stunning interior in usual Palermo exterior. Personal touch by owner with historic family. He managed Italian and English commentary very well. Allow for difficulty getting there through narrow congested streets.
