Quiet place, discovered thanks to the add-on ticket with Royal Palace. Kind staff, easy to reach from Chiaia station. Terrace may benefit from temporary exhibitions as they looked empty.

Luxurious, detailed decor, beautiful large rooms. A very beautiful experience. Bonus points for the ducks in the little park.

I was very surprised to find myself the only visitor to this wonderful museum on a Sunday afternoon. A very underrated place, although in the villa you can admire the 18th century interiors, furniture and art. I especially recommend paying attention to the porcelain collection. In a building nearby there is a carriage museum.

That’s Napoli L’anima autentica di N.

Villa Pignatelli, a princely residence that still testifies to the taste and elegance of the aristocratic families who inhabited it. It is located a few steps from the most beautiful seafront in the world, surrounded by the green of a lush English garden. The residence was thought of as a Pompeian domus and represents a model, among the most important, of Neapolitan neoclassical architecture.

Beautiful museum. Be sure to download the app and purchase tickets before you go. The idea of having to purchase tickets on an app is good IF the app works well and this app does NOT work well. What they need is a QR code at the entrance that allows you to immediately pay.

It's a small museum, not very popular, we were the only ones visiting at the time but it was nice. I'd say it's a must see even if just for the carriage area. Lots of models displayed. I've never seen any museum with so many variety of this locomotion mode. You also get a feel of how people lived, see the portrets of the families and their belongings. It's a great museum especially if you don't like big crowds and want to get some peace to engulf yourself in the history.
