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.

Julianna was awesome. She took time to explain everything. But, best of all you could tell she loved Palm Cottage and her teaching us the history. If you get a chance you really need to take this tour.

Tour of the the Palm Cottage, the oldest house in Naples, lasted about an hour. The grounds and facilities are very well maintained, and the employees are efficient and helpful. The docent explained the history of the area and building well. Conveniently located.
