The apartment also benefits from private access to the ancient courtyard/garden of the family’s historical palace (200 sqm - 2,300 sf) which also consists of a second kitchen, a bathroom, a dining area, a sunbathing area with deck chairs and a gym. YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD The Palace is in an area very well linked to everywhere (2 subways, 5 bus-lines and taxi rank) and offers many touristic attractions (Greek Hipogea of 4th century B.C.; Sacrarium of Fontanelle; Saint Gaudioso and Saint Gennaro's Catacombs; and many aristocratic palaces and important churches). GETTING AROUND In five minutes walk, you can reach Naples' Cathedral, with the priceless Saint Gennaro's treasure; and the National Museum of Archeology, with the finest pieces of Pompei and the wonderful Farnese's Collection. YOUR AVAILABILITY After your booking you will always be in contact with me, Francesco, via phone or email; while my mother, donna ‘Princess’ Paola, will welcome you and check you in upon your arrival. She will also give you tips of what’s best to do and sightseeing around the city: our friends and guests are very enthusiast about it (please read reviews). By appointment only, it's possible to visit the Prince's apartment, composed by several reception rooms, a huge ballroom with 18th century frescoes on the ceiling and a splendid 18th century chandelier, a very important library with 16th - 17th - 18th century books, in which rooms the princely family regularly organizes cultural events as concerts, theater exhibitions and debates. On these occasions, and especially by night, some ghosts belonging to the family have appeared and seemed to enjoy very much to be in company… :-)
