Palazzo Castelluccio

A steep €12 to enter but oh.my.god. What a magnificent restoration. The before and after are truly gobsmacking. One of my favourite historical homes I have ever been to and I’ve been to hundreds if not thousands in my life. Absolutely ravishing wall paintings, wallpaper, tiled floors, furniture, tchotchkes and art. There is a free online PDF audioguide which is helpful. Warning the WIFI doesn’t work beyond the entrance hall- come on guys!!- so I recommend taking snapshots of the PDF unless you have phone data. Self-guided tour unless you want to pay an astounding €25 for a guided tour. I found the combo of my LP book and the PDF guide fine. A museum staff member gave my friend and I a brief intro in the entrance hall which was helpful. Warning there’s NO explanation of the throne in the throne room or WHY it’s there. The relatively bland outside entrance is easy to miss.

A must see in Noto! I was so pleasantly surprised by this beautifully restored palace. Perfect for people who love interior design, history, architecture... Or just beautiful sites. For moms with strollers, consider a baby carrier since there are many stairs going up and down. The reception kindly let us leave our stroller behind the front desk. I loved the visit so much I left with the book :)

Impressive late 18C house in Noto adorned with a wide variety of beautiful artefacts and decorations. We were greeted and orientated for the self guided tour by a charming member of staff with excellent English. A QR code was provided to download a guide to the house. We admired the quiet, open and accessible rooms at our leisure, marvelling at the trappings and lifestyle of the local gentry, as experienced by participants in the Grand Tour. The kitchens and stables were also a fascinating insight. A highly enjoyable visit - recommended!

From the street it's very difficult to realize that it's a real palace.. But you would be attentive and lucky to be in time for the excursion - it's really worth to spend 12 euro!! Really impressive interior, that was restored.. But not fully, so you can see the old tiles on the floor.. Furniture of that time also impressed! But the main interesting room of the whole - the library! Here you realize that someone really lives here.. In this palace.. Cause in the library you can see either really ancient books, or modern one that reads the owner, sitting in that impressive chairs!

Amazing place! And above all - the stuff are fabulous, extra thanks for Andrea for such a great experience!

Huge palace tucked away on the back streets of Noto. Painstakingly restored by the new owner with a great attention to detail to original decorative finishes and an amazing selection of period pieces. We took the guided tour, the only way you can see the interior of the palace, and the guide was really informative and very easy to listen to and ask questions.

Enchanting little palace! We arrived one hour before closing and had the entire place for ourselves.

Very interesting and beautiful palace! Entrance 12€ per person! Worth it! The give you a QR CODE with information (guide) about every Room in the palace!
