A truly unforgettable visit. Palazzo Conte Federico is one of those places that allow you to enter the history of Palermo in an authentic and personal way. We were especially struck by the choice of the owning family to open to the public a residence that is still today a true family home. You never get the feeling of visiting an impersonal museum: every room preserves the charm of a lived-in residence, with centuries of history, art, and family memory. The added value is undoubtedly the direct account of the family heir, capable of transforming the visit into a journey through the ages, enriched by anecdotes, memories, and details that you could hardly find in a normal guidebook. An initiative that deserves great appreciation: safeguarding such an important heritage and at the same time sharing it with visitors is a gesture of great cultural sensitivity. Absolutely not to be missed during a stay in Palermo.
The tour was amazing. Better than I expected and I had high hopes! Even my 16 year old daughter found it interesting!
Exciting insight into the history of the building and also the background of the family. Since it is not a museum in the actual sense, you walk through rooms that are lived in.
Never had a tour like this, you can really feel the family story in the walls of this house. 10/10 recommend booking this!
Nicolò's preparation was excellent and the visit to a well-maintained noble palace was surprising. In addition to the history of the Conti Federico family, our guide also opened us up to particularly fascinating memories of his family life. A visit to do.
Good guide who told us a lot of history. Nice and unbelievable to see that the family has taken care of the house and a lot of different things through history. Very good and nothing.
very unique visit. visited many palaces, this is the firstfor me with a family member which provided not only lots of historical details, but a lobely human touch . definitely recommended ,really amazing
It was wonderful, the guide Andrea is the owner of the house and told many interesting stories. It is a unique opportunity to see.
We cost ourselves glow. Incredibly much more interesting than a tour of a museum. Here you get a lot of information about life and history. Absolutely top tour
18th generation of the family gave us a wonderful tour of his family home. Great experience, beautiful home, gorgeous art and historical items.
