Villa Pignatelli - Casa della Fotografia Review

Didn't visitit, because The villa itself Is closed till October.

A splendid example of neoclassical architecture. Beautiful collections. The museum of carriages is very interesting

The carriage area is beautiful but there are no signs to reach, the museum is devoid of information and malted. The exterior is not cleaned.

Maybe if I could have visited it I would have put 5 stars, but arriving there and discovering that there is no cash desk and having to go to another museum to buy it is inadmissible, we are in 2020, there are electronic payments in addition to that of the website that does not work .

Beautiful, stylish interior. A man rests, visiting this museum.

A treasure chest. Lovely place, the museum of carriages is beautiful.

Refined patrician villa of the first half of the nineteenth century. It was the home of the Neapolitan branch of the Rothschilds.

The villa also offers a very special carriage museum with all the tools used to tame horses and various types of carriages. Very interesting for those who are passionate about this field. Stuffed horses are also present.

Very nice collection of vintage carriages and horse harnesses.

Located in the heart of the city is a little gem. For those with small children also has a wonderful park. For older children, there is also a museum of carriages where there are computers where they can interact.

Beautiful historic site of Naples, located right in front of the Villa Comunale and which we could particularly appreciate thanks to the very prepared, young and exciting Guides that we had the chance to meet: the students of the Tito Lucrezio Caro High School who gave us ample explanations on the history, anecdotes and the peculiarities of this fantastic place !!

Museum not included in the tourist routes sin as it is a historic villa with a beautiful museum of carriages

A unique museum of its kind, the beauty of the villa is disarming, surrounded by greenery and full of important works of art, the dining room and the library with a less baroque style but equally splendid are of great impact. I'll be back to see the carriage museum.

If I ever had to choose a historic residence in Naples to live in, it would undoubtedly be the Pignatelli Cortes residence. Each environment, room and hall is rich in art as is the hidden history of the places to walk through.
It is always a great thrill to go back. Recommended!

Villa Pignatelli is located in the Riviera di Chiaia, a few steps from the Villa Comunale and the Caracciolo promenade in Naples, it is one of the most famous house museums in Italy.
The Pignatelli were nobles very refined in their tastes and manners, the villa became a cultural place between intellectuals and high Neapolitan and European aristocracy. Today the villa is well cared for and well organized, the objects are still in their original location. Inside there is an extraordinary Carriage Museum inaugurated in 1975. For some years now Villa Pignatelli has also been "home of photography" hosting numerous international exhibitions in the rooms on the first floor.
Absolutely must be seen !!!!

Interesting. Pleasant jazz concert in the background. I would have preferred a tour guide because I consider it more involving for the boys.

Please visit this museum! When I went we were the only people in there - and yet they insisted we move though the place in the CORRECT way. There is a world-renowned collection of horse-and-carriages and the grounds are very serene. The house is full of the sort of things you would expect very rich people to own. Please visit! A museum with ten times as many staff as visitors needs your custom!

Museum maintained at the lowest levels, unqualified personnel present and not attentive to visitors who could vandalize some artifacts

Great little gem on the sea front. Great building with fine rooms. Too easy to walk past and miss. (However, I didn't get the 'art gallery' upstairs)

Very nice to visit, periodically there are concerts and exhibitions.

The magic of Beethoven's music played inside the veranda between the columns. A return to the memory of many years ago with the experience that marked for ensemble music

A treasure among the thousands of Naples. Beautiful collections of ceramics and porcelain, beautiful study room, beautiful furniture all, beautiful collection of carriages.

Beautiful and very interesting for the presence on the ground floor of the original furnishings
The garden is also very beautiful

Beautiful complex with a beautiful park, something unexpected because in the center of Naples. Well maintained must surely view and accompanied by a guide if you want to know as it deserves.

Beautiful structure, suitable for events but there is little care dedicated to the gardens.

Villa Pignatelli, a timeless magical location. I hadn't been back for many years. The garden is well-kept and the interior is impeccable with the wonderful rooms with period furniture. On the first floor the photographic exhibition OpenHeArt photographic exhibition organized by the National archaeological museum. Excellent initiative with collective exposure of many photographers including Ilaria Abbienti. The exhibition was curated by Antonio Biasiucci. Realized by the National Archaeological Museum of Naples (MANN) and the Campania Museum Center, in collaboration with the Antonio Biasiucci Irregular Laboratory, the AZTeCA association, the Pianoterra association, the OcchiAperti association, International Art Meetings and the Department of Political, Social and Communication Sciences of the University of Salerno (winner of the Take Part! Act and creative thinking conceived by the Directorate General for Contemporary Creativity and Urban Regeneration of Mibact), "OpenHeArt" aimed to promote the cultural inclusion of young people in areas at risk of economic and social marginality.

Good memories of when I was a child and played on that green and well-kept lawn ... only so much degradation today, sloppiness and dirt. Not even the shadow of the benches. We really have priceless assets and they are not valued.

Wonderful photographic exhibition, the exhibition of carriages beautiful but the building is to be restored and there are no bathrooms with changing tables.

Nice museum. Small, in the green and in the center.

Too bad it's closed x the covid but as soon as it reopens I recommend it to tt

Beautiful aristocratic villa with English gardens. The owners are very attached to the House of Savoy.

Splendid the villa is very interesting the adjacent museum of carriages

Spectacular villa on the seafront of Gravel, elegant and refined

What an amazing jewel, nestled in such a beautiful and touristic location. The XVII century mansion is a perfect combination of elegance, beauty and wealth. Beautiful, beautiful and beautiful. Thr staff are amazingly kind and friendly, and professional. Well done, Naples.

"Particular" museum, different from the usual ones. Very interesting is the stable with many carriages of the time and all possible harnesses and accessories.
"Curious" visit.

Villa Pignatelli jealously preserves inside itself wonderful examples of refinement of a past that is not so far away. It consists of two buildings both now used as museums, the neo-Gothic tower, the chalet and the greenhouse. The Principe Diego Aragona Pignatelli museum is the building on the fron of the park whose architectural lines follow those of the Pompeian domus: full of masterpieces that only a visit will be able to fully appreciate, such as, the wonderful Red, the Green, the Blue, the Capodimonte and Vienna ceramics, the works of art donated to the Italian state by Princess Rosina Pignatelli are just one example. At the rear of the villa, there is the Rothschild building from which you can access the Carrozze museum, another gem of Villa Pignatelli. An enchantment.

Villa Pignatelli is surrounded by a well-kept park, just as well-kept as the museum which displays interesting pieces and collections in its rooms.

I didn't go in, but it's a real gem just looking at it.

Beautiful place and beautiful exhibition of the world press photo 2017

Beautiful..
A dip in the beautiful Epoque

Perhaps after visiting Capodimonte and Palazzo Reale, Villa Pignatelli remains on the site appreciable but certainly second-rate.

The funniest museum experience ever. Staff in the number of 5 and visitors: 2. Still they wanted us to visit in a correct order which we completely ignored due to not speaking italian. Nice location and worth seeing if you are passing by.

A golden casket that hosts numerous cultural events.

I had the pleasure of visiting this place accompanied by a very prepared and courteous guide !!!

A beauty. Kept quite well, although the garden could be kept better.

Nice rooms, furnishings and very kind staff. Worth the visit!

Historic residence of the nineteenth century. Interesting photographic exhibitions

very good to visit. without forgetting the caresses.

Beautiful palace, beautiful furniture, to do absolutely

Villa very well maintained, nineteenth-century house in excellent condition with friendly guides and comprehensive information on the various rooms
Upstairs, an exhibition of contemporary art, for those who like it
Gardens kept discreetly

The villa is very beautiful, the visitors are not up to it

A beautiful place to organize events in the heart of Naples ... unfortunately held bad .. I sweat

A gem in the center of Naples, among other things, an excellent location for concerts

A place with a unique charm, even without concerts that often enhance it further

Nothing special. Thanks to the exhibition of sky art in this period there was more to see than the usual "treasures" of the Pignatelli. The carriage museum is nice, but really nothing.

During a long walk through Naples in the heat of the end of July, I relaxed for a moment in the beautiful garden. Stop in this oasis of peace to recommend to everyone.
