Very interesting and entertaining - only in Italian and English! - Very entertaining interesting guided tour of the family palace. They live there with three generations. You get insights into 15 rooms - including the oldest parts of the palace.
You should be good on foot, because it goes over steep narrow stairs once across the house.

Spectacular and a MUST SEE!! - Absolutely spectacular and a MUST for anyone visiting Palermo. Thoroughly enjoyed our extensive tour round the palace guided expertly by one of the Counts two handsome son’s. Felt very personal and authentic. Lots of family momentoes, a racing car in the entrance and even an appearance from the family cats. By far my most favourite experience of our trip to Palermo!

Absolutely worth seeing! - Many thanks to the Federico family for making them accessible to tourists at home. A beautiful gem of ancient architecture and family history! Very nice, well-kept historic rooms, where you realize, however, that it is not a museum, but a home and inhabited.

Hidden gem - Just the perfect visit to close the Palermo site seeing. A glimpse thru history, with some very amusing or interesting moments told by the count's son. A hidden gem that worth the effort of discovering it.

HIGHLIGHT OF OUR TRIP - Nothing short of phenomenal. I went with two other friends and they agree, so far its the highlight of the trip!
If you plan a visit and are on a cruise and want to go via taxi, please know that you must call them to arrange before hand. Preferably by someone who speaks Italian. Uber is unreliable and all those "Taxi's" out there are selling tours . So we had some trouble getting there. The owner was kind enough to call us a cab to return us to the ship. Telephone to cab 091 6878.

Family guided tour of beautiful old palace - Very nice and familiar with the tour of the palace by the owner's son who also lived in the palace. Great to visit a palace where the owners still live and be greeted by their nice cats. The palace is well worth a visit amazing floors among others.
