Jazz evening with Emilia Zamuner (vocals) Paolo Zamuner and others splendid neoclassical veranda of Villa Pignatelli.
A place of excellence, also visit the carriage museum. Visit it without expecting assistance. The same is beautiful
Gorgeous villa near the coast. The villa is in good condition and offers beautiful exteriors. Quite cool is the exhibition cat in the back of the park. A really large number of beautiful tomcat in excellent condition. Only minus give for somewhat neglected park.
Beautiful Villa Aragonese, on the most beautiful promenade in the world, location of important cultural events and manifestations. Beautiful visit to the surrounding gardens.
The museum is fantastic, even the classical music concerts, the pride of the carriage museum, fantastic
Villa Pignatelli - The Stables
The location is very beautiful and suggestive ... as a photographer, I found many ideas for interesting shots ...
Fascinating place, quick to visit and excellently trained staff
Beautifully kept garden with splendid rooms and period furnishings
The photographic exhibition and the carriage museums are very beautiful
A small paradise a stone's throw from the sea that preserves splendid furnishings and Neapolitan manufacture of the mid-1800s.
It is interesting to see how a wealthy family lived at the end of the 19th century.
The palace, which is 'fully furnished as it was at the end of 800, offers all the necessary comfort to live comfortably and civilly, pending the' advent of the automobile and electricity.
Sometimes money and good taste can do without great inventions.
Immense heritage held very badly, it also has losses inside ...
Little known museum, beautiful and very suggestive place
Nice place .... Little frequented .... The staff available and prepared. Unfortunately it rains in one of the verandas ......
Ticket purchase procedure devised by a sadist. Ticket office at 2km or online procedure made to discourage. I have given up on the visit
Spectacular! Timeless I advise all tourists to visit this place, only live you will be able to deeply appreciate this historic home.
A fantastic place where art and history come together "
Beautiful structure, ideal for organizing events, but I noticed a degradation in the care of the gardens
A real gem. The very large and well-stocked carriage museum was a real find. Very detailed and interesting.
The museum is one of the most beautiful cities of the frames
We gave a conference on aesthetics and spirituality. A very powerful show of art photography was on display. One of the best locations in Napoli.
Interesting, it could be kept better and made more usable! Enviable position. A neoclassical building in the heart of Naples. The museum of carriages is beautiful.
Villa Pignatelli is an enchanting place. Superb villa with period furnishings and wonderful garden that surrounds it.
Beautiful .... to see absolutely as it preserves furnishings and accessories in excellent condition
Small, but very interesting museum. There is a fantastic atmosphere
Thanks to a jazz concert I could admire the beauty of this place, it seems that time has stopped !!!
Park of Villa Pignatelli the only green lung in the city center (as a Neapolitan I am ashamed to mention the Villa Comunale now reduced to indescribable conditions).
it is a point of reference for our small children also because with controlled entrance.
I point out an unpleasant episode that happened this morning to my 2 year old grandson accompanied by his baby sitter
At the entrance of the park-museum the ticket clerk (whom I thank very much for the "carelessness" shown towards the powerful vehicle) did not wisely stop the entrance of the tricycle bike on which the child was traveling (NB NO PEDALS!)
unfortunately this was noticed in the park and after a series of poorly educational dialectical performances against the babysitter and child with the intervention of the director (had nothing to do?) the child was forbidden to use the powerful vehicle and. ..... not happy boy and baby sitter were guarded until the exit from a henchman trained by the management with blackmail half seizure.
to you readers the comment and a heartfelt thanks to this shameful staff Villa Pignatelli

Dress nearby and it was nice to visit. But in the evening, the garden seems enchanted.
One of the many excellences of a Pyrenean region of history and beauty
Great place to get to know another piece of Naples. Beautiful gardens with ancient plants and beautiful collections of porcelain in the museum.
Even in this wonderful place, when you pay for the ticket, you are not given any paper support to guide you inside the building / museum. It's true, you pay 5.00 per person, however, as is the case abroad, it would be preferable for there to be a small pamphlet that guides the visitor a bit.
Inside we find very well-kept furnishings and fine materials. What amazed me were the visits that the princess received during her stay in the villa. The photos are kept in a room of the villa and almost all refer to Royal families.
The menus written in French that accompanied the gala dinners were also nice. The villa consists of apartments where, on the ground floor, all the rooms of the house are located, the room dedicated to carriages, outside the villa but always inserted in the museum complex, and finally the second floor it hosts (when we visited the villa there was nothing on display) various pictorial expositions.
It is certainly an experience to do, given that you are a stone's throw away from a promenade envied by many.
A small jewel, the villa, a very interesting visit to the stables, where horse carriages and harnesses are exposed, pleasant stroll in the small park that surrounds it
A beautiful museum located in the center of the Chiaia Riviera. The villa was built in 1826 by Admiral Ferdinando Acton in the neoclassical style, with pavilions next to it. On his death in 1841 he was bought by the banker Carl von Rothschild, and later sold in 1867 to the prince Diego Aragona Pignatelli who had the interior furnishings arranged. In 1952 it was donated to the state provided everything remained as it was.
The interiors of the villa are lovely, and the park is wonderful. There is also the collection of historical carriages and harnesses located in the building next to the park.
A surprise to find a few steps from the center and the promenade the historic Villa Pignatelli full of art and culture immersed in a park of majestic and secular trees. The rooms of the Villa are well set up and furnished, with displays of rare and valuable objects, a sign of a glorious past. Noteworthy is the rich and varied display of vintage carriages and harnesses and accessories in two buildings apart from the Museum.
The visit to the Pignatelli Museum is a real immersion in beauty and refinement. The villa was inhabited by the Rotschild and the Pignatelli princes who left this immense artistic heritage to the state and, therefore, to the city of Naples. Gentlemen also the museum staff who guide the visitor also providing details on different environments.
Very interesting, the rooms on the ground floor retain their original appearance while on the first floor there was a nice photographic exhibition
Historic villa, well preserved. Visible the representative area with lounges on the ground floor ... pity not being able to visit the first floor where the bedrooms were
A dive into the past at the time of Princess Rosina Pignatelli. A charming place and a park where you can relax in the sun ...
Very beautifull
The house of photography. Fixed appointment every year for the exhibition dedicated to the worldpress photo.
The museum is worth visiting (even if the carriage museum is temporarily closed).
It is well cared for although the museum is not one of the city's attractive cultural hubs.
Too bad the staff on the ground floor: they spoke aloud to each other in the museum and some of them are even rude.
It is part of Naples, the carriage museum is splendid with an employee who explains everything to you
Period villa located in Naples facing the sea with a wonderful well-kept garden .... I went with my children to visit it very enthusiastic ... I recommend visiting it
Beautiful structure well maintained, I attended a morning of jazz music very beautiful who comes to Naples or who is from Naples is not yet had the pleasure of visiting this museum do it without hesitation and will remain satisfied
Diego Aragona Pignatelli Cortes Museum, commonly called Pignatelli villa. conceived as a Pompeian domus and designed by Pietro Valente in 1826 when Ferdinando Acton, son of Sir John, prime minister of Ferdinand IV, decided to build himself a residence along the road that runs along the Villa Reale. high Italian and European aristocracy, oggiuno of the few existing examples of house-museum in Naples to the intrinsic relationship between building and collections such as silver, bronze, porcelain, enamel, crystals, an important library, about four micro-grooves of classical music and opera.
Beautiful villa, beautiful gardens. With excellent cultural offer
The villa is beautiful with all the period furnishings. The museum of carriages should also be visited
Very interesting, places, rooms, art gallery, carriage museum: beautiful
First space for exhibitions and shows. Sunny garden to escape from city traffic.
Museum very nice and well cared for, some employees have provided explanations and stories not due, while others, despite missing an hour to close, they gave you a hurry to visit with cute little tones
It is the place where I work it is enchanting I advise everyone to visit it
Salaries historic apartments, beautiful museum carriages but very neglected gardens
Uma delightful nineteenth-century villa held in a splendid manner
