A lovely spacious building with a mixed range of exhibits from furniture to ceramics, though with nothing really outstanding. The nicest part for us was the walk through the gardens More

Slightly strange museum as it's seems to be a bit "all over the place". Some interesting items in there but a little oddly displayed. BUT the gardens walking down to the view over the bay is wonderful. Well worth going just to walk in the gardens and take great photos at the end. More

I was really looking forward to visiting this museum. However it was totally closed this week, 2nd to 6th April 2012. There was scaffolding and covers all over the exterior including a huge advertisement for a new supermarket. There were obvious signs of building work going on inside. Tourist information thought that it would reopen after Easter. More

Former mansion up on a hill that overlooks the harbor, is filled with treasures collected by generations of Correale family. They have a wonderful collection of Comedie dell'Arte figurines where one can study antique clothing styles. Here, you can imagine what it would be like to live in a villa overlooking the sea or daydream in the wonderful garden. More

This is a rare example of a museum which combines a unique setting in a historical villa with a wonderful garden (do not miss the view from the belvedere) with an eclectic collection of art and antiques, ranging from roman statues to 18th century porcelain and paintings. The ensemble makes for a charming and interesting visit, well worth your time... More

Most people don't seem to get to this corner of Sorrento but they should. Very interesting museum with a garden and great views over the Gulf of Naples. Sometimes there are concerts and Sundays (at least the one we visited) are free! More

We chanced upon this on the walk back to our hotel. Worth spending an hour or so, and the 5 Euro per person entry, to see inside this lovely building and it's treasures. The view from the top floor is glorious. More
