Castello di Federico II

A stunning Castle, very well kept with wonderful views.
Carla and Giuseppe were the perfect hosts, they took us to a joyful tour of the castle, full of history and beauty.
Carla and Giuseppe were super professional and friendly, they are so knowledge and enthusiastic about the castle.
This was definitely a great experience and I would definitely recommend it!

Seeing the sunset from the roof of the castle was a truly magic experience and the highlight of our tour of Sicily. Carla, enthusiastic volunteer egaged in promoting the place, came and opened the castle just for us and immersed us in the universe of history and legends related to this beautyful place. She accepted nothing in return.

Well maintained Norman castle with exquisite views and a very friendly staff. We were staying in nearby Bisaquino and popped over for a visit, only to find the castle closed. We happened to mention it in the nearby grocery store and one of the staff said, “Wait here, we’ll call Carla.” Sure enough, a few minutes later Carla and Giuseppe arrived and led us back to the castle for a personal tour. We used Google translate to communicate with each other and if we fantastic. Learned. Lot and they were so knowledgeable and friendly. You can tell they are passionate about their town.

We were lucky enough to meet Carla in the village, who spontaneously made herself available for a guided tour. With a lot of commitment and friendliness, she introduced us to this carefully renovated building and vividly conveyed its history. The successful renovation was not just about making something look nice, but about protecting the original substance and keeping it visible for many years to come. Wonderful details and last but not least the view, why it becomes clear what exactly was built here for. Thank you Carla for the wonderful tour.

I rarely review anywhere but after arriving in Guiliana and seeing it's castle this review is for Josef.
It was an impromptu visit by me and my wife. On arriving we were greeted in such a special way by Josef. Not only did he break off from his lunch and wine,which he invited us to, he then took us on a guided and very informative tour of the castle. We particularly enjoyed the tales and history of the castle, in particular the story of Eleanor and her treasure. I have 7 candles ready should we we return!!!
The views from the castle are fantastic and anyone in southern Sicily should make the effort to go.

Salute,

What an authentic and fulfilling stop we had in Giuliana ! The private visit of the castle offered insightful historic knowledge about this fascinating region and was a unique occasion to enjoy breathtaking views over the valley.
Grazie mille Chiara & Francesca !

Wonderful panorama. The guides were very helpful, and explained the history of the castle. On advice from the guide we also then visited the old ruins of the Church of Maria del Bosco.

Wonderful place to visit and to learn some of Sicily’s fascinating history and legends. We had a fantastic visit guided by Carla and Giuseppe two local guides who made the experience even more special. The visit is free but our new friends deserve a special thank you and a well earned tip by all visitors. A presto!!!!

Great visit offered by two passionate local volunteers. Views are stunning and explanations are very interesting. Thanks to the guides. Really worth the stop!

Such a beautiful medieval hill top town. And the Castello was the plumb juicy cherry on top of the icing

Beutifull place, does not take that long to visit but it's still worth it. Chiara, Sabrina and Rosalia were perfect guides. Grazie!

Beautiful renovation in a small town with a village feel. Super- friendly people. Very child and family- friendly. Dynamic and vibrant younger generation as well as wonderful retiree population. Food tastes great here as most locally sourced.
The town is a great stopover on your way to the south and is serviced by a reliable and punctual bus to and from Palermo.
Fabulous views. Well worth a visit.

Wonderful tour by Joseph, gave us a good tour with great information and storytelling.

We had an amazing tour guide round the castle and took some photos in character.
The views are incredible, definitely worth the visit! Lots of history behind this castle.

Great place to visit and stunning view. The guides are friendly and open to share extra information

Wonderful views of the town and surrounding area.

Our lovely guide Carla gave us interesting information about the castle and the history of Frédérico 2nd. We used Google Translate for the translation Italian-English, which went really well. We were the only guests in the castle so it felt like a private, exclusive tour for us. Grazie mille, Carla!

Just had a brilliant tour of Castello di Federico II. Our guide, Guiseppi, was very knowledgeable and friendly and made the the tour very interesting. The 360 degree views are magnificent.
Well worth a visit.

Giuseppe gave us a great tour. The views were incredible!

While most Italian castles are in a state of serious disrepair, the Castello di Federico II is in great shape. Giuseppe showed us around expertly, a kind an humorous guide.
