The docents were very knowledgeable and very patient. It is a lovely piece of Naples history and I am very happy it was preserved for guests to see Naples as it once was.

Highly interesting place to visit. Originally built in 1895, Palm Cottage has seen Naples change from a small town with hotel for the rich and wealthy to spend their holidays fishing and hunting, to the bustling city in the 21st century. Taken on a trip down (someone else's) memory lane, our guide Nancy immediately grasped our attention and was able to retain it for over an hour. Awesome!
