DIVING INTO THE SOUL OF PALERMO - A magical visit to a palace that is still inhabited, where the son of the Tale regaled us with History and family anecdotes, with humor and passion. Thank you! In 1 hour, a journey through 900 years of history... one of our most beautiful discoveries in Palermo! Not to be missed!

Well worth a visit - My husband really enjoyed this trip despite it not really being his sort of thing. The tour - lead by Nicholas, one of the family who owns the place, was excellent and did the tour in Italian and English. I would thoroughly recommend this tour.

Top guided tour - Highly recommended. The building is still lived in by the family and the tour guides are them in person. A top guided tour.

Palazzio to visit - Superb visit of a palazzio still inhabited. The charming guide who lives on site. Step back in time but in a family, far from the impersonal side of a museum. Recommended!

Beautiful house in centre of Palermo - We went today to this historic family house right in the centre of Palermo. This house has layers of history going back to the Middle Ages . The small tour was guided by friendly family member of Alessandro Federico the current owner , who was not only active in motorsport but deeply celebrated and successful in the Italian and European vintage racing scene. Each room has colour , textures and photos are allowed but not video . Must visit .

Fantastic - Count Federico himself welcomed us and led us on an unpayable guided tour of the palace’s rooms giving us an insight into the family’s history from the founding of Palermo to today. Spectacular
