A perfect accommodation to spend a few quiet days. A beautiful house that does not lack anything. The owner is very attentive. Highly recommended.

No wifi No pool We can see that the house does not have all the comforts in the kitchen. The place lacks a nearby market or a Chinese one, there is no shop in the town and it is quite small, if you want a retreat it is For good

Thank you very much for the great reception, you have made us feel very comfortable at all times. I have loved being able to enjoy the house with friends and savor the barbecues that we have done. We have found everything we have needed during the stay. But we had a big problem: WE HAD TO RETURN !!!! Time has passed very quickly and we will really repeat, so I recommend it 100%. Sergio thank you very much for everything. Your time, personality, kindness and attention. You really have made our stay perfect. WITH A LOT OF WANT TO REPEAT !!!

The terrace where the barbecue is is very small and is very closed. You swallow all the smoke.

Our family meeting place for years. We always come back. My father is waiting for his birthday to celebrate here (there are several). I think you should be your longest-lived customer. Thanks Sergio. He is very comfortable here. Keep taking care of us so well ...

Royal Palace of Naples

Royal Palace of Naples was one of the four residences near Naples used by the Bourbon Kings during their rule of the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies (1734-1860): the others were the palaces of Caserta, Capodimonte overlooking Naples, and the third Portici, on the slopes of Vesuvius.

Construction on the present building was begun in the 17th century by the architect Domenico Fontana. Intended to house the King Philip III of Spain on a visit never fulfilled to this part of his kingdom, instead it initially housed the Viceroy Fernando Ruiz de Castro, count of Lemos. By 1616, the facade had been completed, and by 1620, the interior was frescoed by Battistello Caracciolo, Giovanni Balducci, and Belisario Corenzio. The decoration of the Royal Chapel of Assumption was not completed until 1644 by Antonio Picchiatti.

In 1734, with the arrival of Charles III of Spain to Naples, the palace became the royal residence of the Bourbons. On the occasion of his marriage to Maria Amalia of Saxony in 1738, Francesco De Mura and Domenico Antonio Vaccaro helped remodel the interior. Further modernization took place under Ferdinand I of the Two Sicilies. In 1768, on the occasion of his marriage to Maria Carolina of Austria, under the direction of Ferdinando Fuga, the great hall was rebuilt and the court theater added. During the second half of the 18th century, a 'new wing' was added, which in 1927 became the Vittorio Emanuele III National Library. By the 18th century, the royal residence was moved to Reggia of Caserta, as that inland town was more defensible from naval assault, as well as more distant from the often-rebellious populace of Naples.

During the Napoleonic occupation the palace was enriched by Joachim Murat and his wife, Caroline Bonaparte, with Neoclassic decorations and furnishings. However, a fire in 1837 damaged many rooms, and required restoration from 1838 to 1858 under the direction of Gaetano Genovese. Further additions of a Party Wing and a Belvedere were made in this period. At the corner of the palace with San Carlo Theatre, a new facade was created that obscured the viceroyal palace of Pedro de Toledo.

In 1922, it was decided to transfer here the contents of the National Library. The transfer of library collections was made by 1925.

The library suffered from bombing during World War II and the subsequent military occupation of the building caused serious damage. Today, the palace and adjacent grounds house the famous Teatro San Carlo, the smaller Teatrino di Corte (recently restored), the Biblioteca Nazionale Vittorio Emanuele III, a museum, and offices, including those of the regional tourist board.
