Worth a visit

Sep 2021

The palace has a number of reasonably decorated rooms, headlined by the beautiful Ball Room. Easily worth €4/pp and 20 minutes of time. Look at the balconies when outside - the supports are varied and amazing. And make sure to step outside onto the balconies when visiting.

Dusty old building

Sep 2022

This tired building left us wondering what the fuss was all about, except for the wonderfully carved balconies which were amazing.

We went because we had a ticket that included three different venues, and we were told it was a wonderful building.

Inside

Jun 2013 • Couples

Is interesting but cost €4 each to visit and they want their paper guide with photos and explanation of the rooms back at the end! The rooms are quite interesting and you can go out on some of the balconies for a really good look around the city. In that respect the price is ok because then you don't need to go up the other church towers only to look at the city ;-)
The 10 rooms that you can visit have been beautifully restored with samples of the original wallpaper on display in each room. Well worth the visit!

The funniest baroques balconies in the world

May 2012 • Friends

One of the major attractions in Noto, baroque town almost entirely rebuilt after a terrible earthquake in 1693, The Palazzo Nicolaci can be seen on Via Nicolaci, a narrow street between Via Cavour and Corso Vittorio Emanuele. On the other side of the street there is a wine cellar, with nice Sicilian wines to be tasted and enjoyed. The palazzo is a unique building, with absolutely crazy balconies on the façades, supported by big consoles decorated with funny faces, mythological figures. There is a museum in the interior with nice rooms, beautiful furniture, some paintings and an elegant atmosphere (there is a fee for visiting the museum).

A fascinating tour of this large suite of rooms was made especially interesting by our knowledgeable guide. Well worth the visit to see how some folk lived in previous times

Interesting Stop

Jul 2017 • Friends

I think if you're in Noto, this is a good tourist choice. It's a self-guided tour and they give you a booklet to walk around and read about a family who lives here. You can sort of imagine what it was like during that time because they have a few. Pieces but the main dry in this palace is the tile floors and the beautiful ceilings. It's worth visiting just for that. Additionally you get a great view up and down the street from the balconies. Just a hint, the restaurant below the balconies is great it's called Cantina

The best part is the one for free (outside)

Oct 2016 • Couples

The sculptures on the stone beams supporting the balconies are fantastic, they are the absolute MUST-SEE in Noto. And this view is free of charge. On the contrary, visiting the inside costs 4 EUR p person and there is not much about it...

Nicolaci Palace

Oct 2016 • Solo

Nicolaci Palace was the residence of a rich Sicilian banker who lived in the first half of the 18th century. Part of the building now houses the town library. The rest is open for public visitation; it is a beautiful palace with agreeable interiors, baroque style. The architect was the well-known Gagliardi. Vis-a-vis to the palace is a house-museum that belonged to the same family and a small restaurant. The palace is situated in the center of Noto.

A lovely house with an unbelievable view

Apr 2016 • Couples

This small palace was the home of a very rich tuna magnate and he created a fascinating place to visit. Though certainly not to everyone's decorative taste, the rooms are well worth seeing. Of particular value is a visit to the balcony outside the Dance room which gives you a brilliant view over the rooftops of Noto - a fantastic town of many many beautiful buildings

a well restored tipical sicilian palace

Mar 2016 • Friends

With few euros, we had the chances to visit a real Sicilian palace. Since that the palace become a government propriety important works were done and the palace is now very well preserved. The are several rooms to visit, the room for music, room for playing billiard, room for lecture, studio room and of course the ballet room that is very very nice. included in the ticket there is a guide person that explains to you each room and the story of the family that owned this palazzo.
