Itinerary
1
Il Castel dell'Ovo
Historic seaside fortress in Naples, built on Megaride islet, legendary “egg” foundation protects the city, iconic landmark with stunning views.
2
Villa Doria D'Angri
Richard Wagner once said, “Naples is my city; life pulses here.” Music scholars agree that much of the opera Parsifal was composed within the walls of Villa Doria d’Angri.
3
Palazzo donn'Anna
Imposing, unfinished, mysterious. Described as “one of the most beautiful and bizarre residences in Europe,” it dominates the beginning of the Posillipo hill. The palace is surrounded by the legend of Anna Carafa — fascinating and powerful — amid lavish parties and tales of secret passions. Some swear that on stormy nights, the palace still whispers her name
4
Bagno Elena
Villa Pavoncelli During the Belle Époque, Villa Pavoncelli hosted the celebrated Frisio restaurant, an elegant meeting place for refined Naples. Among its distinguished guests were Richard Wagner and Gabriele D'Annunzio, who immortalized it in his writings.
5
Posillipo
Villa Cottreau, between engineering and oriental charm In 1875, the renowned builder Alfredo Cottreau — French on his father’s side and a key figure in Naples’ urban transformation — built Villa Cottreau on the remains of a colonial house. He was also responsible for important works such as Corso Amedeo di Savoia and the Ponte della Sanità, infrastructures that helped reshape Naples.
6
Posillipo
Villa Bracale This elegant neoclassical residence hosted Oscar Wilde in 1897 under the false name Sebastian Melmoth, together with his lover Alfred Douglas, nicknamed “Bosie,” while he was composing The Ballad of Reading Gaol. Today it is a condominium, but it retains the charm of its literary past.
7
Posillipo
Villa D’Abro An elegant neo-Romanesque building constructed in 1870, it is a key location in the Oscar-winning director Paolo Sorrentino’s film The Hand of God. The villa — and especially the grotto on which it stands — represents a magical place suspended between land and sea.
8
Posillipo
Villa D’Avalos In the historic Villa D’Avalos also lived one of the early pioneers of cinematography, Étienne-Jules Marey, a renowned 19th-century photographic experimenter. His friendship with zoologist Anton Dohrn often brought him to the Neapolitan coast, where he created short pre-cinematic films. Naples became his laboratory of light and movement.
9
Posillipo
Villa Lauro Famous for its private seaside swimming pool and direct access to the coast, it too became a symbol of a lesser-known Naples — between Mergellina, Posillipo and Marechiaro — in the film Parthenope.
10
Riva Fiorita
Riva Fiorita and Villa Marino: the secret set of Un Posto al Sole Among the most enchanting corners of Posillipo lies Riva Fiorita, a small seaside paradise far from the city’s chaos, immersed in a timeless atmosphere. Here stands Villa Marino, an elegant private residence that has become famous for hosting the exterior scenes of the long-running Italian soap opera Un posto al sole.
11
Posillipo
Villa Rivalta Between August 12 and 13, 1944, a secret meeting took place here between British Prime Minister Winston Churchill and Marshal Josip Broz Tito.
12
Villa Rosebery Residenza del Presidente della Repubblica
Surrounded by greenery, elegant and private, it is today the official residence of the President of the Italian Republic during visits to Naples. Once an aristocratic residence, it is now an institutional symbol.
13
Palazzo degli Spiriti
Mysterious historic villa in Posillipo, known as the “Palace of Spirits,” with Gothic-inspired architecture, legends of hauntings, panoramic sea views, and a captivating aura that blends history, myth, and Neapolitan charm.
14
Parco Sommerso di Gaiola - Area Marina Protetta
Between crystal-clear waters and Roman ruins, La Gaiola is one of the most evocative places in Naples. On the small island of Posillipo stands the famous Villa della Gaiola, known as the “cursed villa” because of the stories and legends that have fueled its mystique over time. Its aura of mystery has also been associated with famous names such as Gianni Agnelli, J. Paul Getty and writer Norman Douglas, figures who frequented the area and contributed to its fame.
