A look back (first published 9 March 2016): the Villa Pignatelli – owned by the Actons, the Rothschilds, and the Pignatellis – is now a museum and, together with its carriage display, well worth a visit if you’re lucky enough to be in Chiaia in Napoli.
Villa Pignatelli in Naples, Italy
This villa – white and recently restored – sits in the lap of one of the most crowded cities in Europe. It has the blue sea to its front, colour behind, and is wrapped in an exclusive coat of green.
Its striking, classical profile is very different to the buildings that now surround it.

Another site goes on the list. Something tells me I’ll need to come back to Naples, and still only scratch the surface.

Napoli is a city that is definitely best visited at least twice … like a friend – the more you’re together the more you understand each other 🙂

Thank you for you tour and the concise way you present history. The story of Naples always seems to spiral on itself and you have made the story of this fantastic villa very clear.

So pleased it’s easy to follow – thanks Antoinette. It’s another corner of Naples that’s a bit different from the others.
