The most unique palazzo tour of a family home in Palermo
Thomas D,Jun 30, 2026
- Review from Tripadvisor
5.00This is the most amazing tour of a large and beautiful palazzo in Palermo. Tours are given by either of two brothers in English or Italian of this incredible family home which features their ballroom, dining rooms and other places including the ancient 1,000 year old tower which is built into their palazzo. Beautifully furnished and uniquely Sicilan in style. This is a must see tour of one hour located a short walk from either the Cathedral or the Ballaro market. Again don't miss this one. All of the 5 star reviews are correct. Enjoy!

5.00The young counts personally guide the guests through the palace and provide very interesting information about the history of the house and the family. The father is known as a race car driver and has won several races with his Porsche.

Not as expected

3.00I booked an English tour and it ended up being Italian and English. When someone asked qs in Italian it was not repeated in English and when someone asked qs in English it was not repeated in Italian. It was frustrating to not understand everything that was being explained in Italian when I booked an English tour. Also, we started late with 40 people and ended in 45 minutes instead of a full hour. That’s way too many in one small room so it was very difficult to see what the tour guide was referring to if you were not in the same room. Otherwise, it was very interesting.
Absolutely brilliant
