How often do you have the opportunity to stay in a palace? This was absolutely amazing. For us, a once in a lifetime experience!
We visited Napoli in January, so the weather was comfortable and the museums were not crowded.
The Palace is historic. Garibaldi greeted crowds in the piazza outside in 1861 while standing on the balcony of the room which is now where you have a delicious breakfast. Amazing to stand there and imagine the excitement of unification!
The Palace is filled with gorgeous huge chandeliers made of Murano glass, monumental paintings, royal furniture. There is an incredible vintage marionette installation.
The beds are comfortable and the temperature was perfect, not too hot, and we were given a fan for ventilation and comfort. Great walk-in shower!
The Palace is perfectly located with an entrance to Spaccanapoli nearby and is a short walk to the magnificent Archeological Museum (which has been greatly improved under its new director). The Dante metro station is close by, where one can take a bus to the Capodimonte.
Taxis are available and plentiful. Cost to the central station is about 20 euros plus baggage.
The front desk is one person. He likes to know exactly when you arrive so he can meet you downstairs and bring you inside. After that, entrance is easy and there is a lift.
I would return in a heartbeat! Magnificent experience! I want to read their historical picture books.
