Traveler reviews
Aleksandra Siermińska
★★★★★3 months agoAmazing place. Tour guided Federico family member was witty, informative and pleasant. Building itself is one of the oldest noble residences in the city, partly built on Arab–Norman towers from the 12th century. Great piece of local history.

★★★★★a year agoI found out about this palazzo from a random tiktok video and I’m so glad I did. This was my highlight of Palermo. The decoration is fabulous and you can see this palazzo is so welcoming. The guided tour is made by one of the members of the family so they intimately know everything about its history.
