You can’t miss these iconic landmarks, local favorites, and places rich with cultural heritage.

Amazing and impressive place; staggering the scale of it and how long it took to build, but not at all surprising when you see it. An absolute must to visit, it is the only way it can be truly appreciated. Over 1,200 rooms and about 40 metres tall! The gardens are absolutely huge and equally impressive, I recommend the minibus if you don't have so much time because you can easily spend a whole day walking around the entire property, but you do then miss out on the length of the run to the garden, especially you like taking pictures. Given the number of rooms, there's clearly a lot to see inside. Both areas contain a huge amount of creative items to see, like statues (mostly in the gardens) and paintings and other fixtures.
I think it’s one of Italy’s hidden gems. Such a lovely place with marvelous architecture and a beautiful garden. However, I believe it deserves more care and attention—the garden could be even more stunning than it currently is. The entrance ticket to the palace was €12 as of September 2025, with the last entry at 6 PM. After 5 PM, the fee is reduced to €5. The garden has a separate entrance fee of €3 and remains open until 7:30 PM. I highly recommend visiting this palace. It’s truly worth it!
I can't recommend it enough, it's astonishing. If I was to go back I'd visit the palace one day and the gardens another. I spent a whole day from 8:30 am to 4pm and I could have easily spent a few more hours just walking around soaking the beauty of the place, but I was tired and I had to get the bus back.
The Royal Palace of Caserta is a stunning 18th-century masterpiece, rivaling Versailles in scale and elegance. Designed by Luigi Vanvitelli for the Bourbon kings of Naples, it features lavish interiors, grand staircases, and expansive gardens with fountains and sculptures. A UNESCO World Heritage site, it offers a majestic glimpse into royal opulence and Italian artistry.
A magnificent place that truly impresses with its scale and beauty! 🏛️ The palace resembles Versailles but with its own Italian charm — vast halls, marble staircases, frescoed ceilings, and beautifully preserved 18th-century furnishings. The park is especially breathtaking — an endless alley with fountains, cascades, and statues stretching for several kilometers. It’s best to allow at least 3–4 hours for a walk, and if you plan to reach the Grand Waterfall on foot, reserve the whole day. You can rent an electric cart or a bike, and if you’re visiting with a group, it’s convenient to take a small shuttle bus — just €5 per person. 🎟️ It’s best to buy tickets online to avoid queues. ☕ At the very end of the park, near the waterfall, there’s a cozy café where you can enjoy authentic Italian cuisine and relax after the walk. 📷 It’s also one of the most picturesque places in Campania for photography. Overall — an absolute must-visit if you’re in Naples or nearby. Historical grandeur, natural beauty, and a true sense of the past — all in one place. ⭐ Rating: 5/5
Grandiose structure (mostly empty) but the royal chambers (Piano nobile) are quite extensive and richly decorated and elegantly furnished. I enjoyed a 90 minute very informative guided tour in Italian (unfortunately with an excessive amount of Bourbon-era nostalgia... and no critical comment on the social costs of such bombastic projects and the sociopolitical effects of spatial distancing of royalty from the common folk in a guilded playground). I found this Reggia more elegant and pretty than the Quirinal and some other palaces in Italy (laden with austere or disproportionate displays of Baroque or mismatched styles or unfinished or unrestored works). Many similar palaces in Germany and Austria are however more elegant and aesthetically pleasing (they have also been restored to a supreme level of splendor and decadence by exceedingly generous government allocations in recent years). What recent administrations have done to restore the Reggia after decades of neglect is surely remarkable. The mixture of contemporary art with the original museum exhibits (after COVID) is not always very convincing: some combinations work fine but in other cases there is no real dialogue between works of art (the contemporary pieces - of differing quality and from a single collection linked to a recent natural disaster - seem put there very jarringly simply to respect the conditions of the donation, i.e. that they reach the widest public possible, and little concern for the dignity and harmony of the rooms' decor). Some works would work better in the empty exhibition spaces of the palace (even with baroque and neoclassical works included for comparison). But then you if you expand the exhibition spaces, you need to keep visitors there the whole day to visit the royal chambers and the rest of the museum. So you would need to attract families with children (with some technology exhibits, children's areas, etc.) and full day visitors (with a food court, performances in the gardens, picknic areas, horse riding...). I hope the site continues to develop into a mature and diversified tourist venue.
Not just a must see, an amazing experience! One of the most beautiful gardens i ve ever been in my life! You should definetely go there. You can skip the palace, its just another palace, but you should get to the garden! We ve made the one way on foot, and we came back with the bus. Its a reaaaaly long distance, so i would suggest you to rent a bicycle. it would be much more pleasant. If you get there at its opening time, you will have the garden for yourself!!!
The Royal Palace of Caserta is truly breathtaking. Built in the 18th century for the Bourbon kings and designed by Luigi Vanvitelli, it was meant to rival Versailles and you can really feel it. The rooms are grand and elegant, the monumental staircase is stunning, and the huge gardens with fountains and long water basins are spectacular. The history behind it, from its royal origins to its UNESCO recognition, makes the visit even more meaningful. Absolutely worth seeing if you’re in Campania!!!

Casertavecchia is a frazione of Caserta, Italy. It is the site of a former medieval village that lies at the foot of the Tifatini Mountains located 10km north-east of the City of Caserta, at an altitude of approximately 401 meters. Its name, translated from Italian, means "Old Caserta". Wikipedia.

Totally comercial, shame, beautiful views, loads of history
(Translated by Google) This is the second time I visit the Duomo and I always find it beautiful. It is worth the trip to Caserta Vecchia. The photos show details that show the various influences that accompanied the construction of the Duomo and the bell tower. To visit. (Original) E' la seconda volta che visito il Duomo e lo trovo sempre bello. Vale la gita a Caserta Vecchia. Le foto mostrano particolari che mostrano le varie influenze che hanno accompagnato la costruzione del Duomo e del campanile. Da visitare.
(Translated by Google) Various influences characterize this wonderful 11th century Cathedral. A must-see👍 (Original) Influenze varie caratterizzano questo meraviglioso Duomo del sec. XI. Da visitare assolutamente👍
(Translated by Google) Well kept, the old village is almost entirely visitable, the cathedral is a true beauty. (Original) Tenuto bene , il vecchio borgo e quasi totalmente visitabile, il duomo una vera bellezza.
(Translated by Google) Beautiful Duomo! I have never been there before! Highly recommend. (Original) Duomo bellissimo! Non ci sono mai stato prima! Consiglio vivamente.
(Translated by Google) Excellently restored medieval/Gothic church kept in good condition (Original) Chiesa medievale/gotica ripresa in modo eccellente è tenuta in buone condizioni
(Translated by Google) The cathedral is beautiful, as is all of Casertavecchia: it's as if time stood still in the Middle Ages, with all the brick houses and narrow streets, always filled with fresh air, even in summer. A must-see! (Original) Bellissimo il duomo e bellissima tutta Casertavecchia: è come se il tempo si fosse fermato al Medio Evo con tutte le case in muratura e con le viuzze strette, in mezzo alle quali c'è sempre una bella circolazione d'aria fresca anche in estate. Assolutamente da visitare!

This garden is located within the Caserta Royal Palace. The garden is a lovely place for a stroll. It's very peaceful, calm and quite big. But to get to the garden it is quite a walk from the main castle. I would recommend taking the bus or golf cart if the weather, in particular if the weather is warm. Make sure to visit the Criptoportico. So beautiful and a must-see for nature-lovers!
Beautiful garden! It’s worth the walk to get there.
Lovely walk. A proper explorative walk of the gardens will take around 2 hrs. I thought there was some similarity between the Park Güell arches and those of the English garden of the Royal Palace of Caserta. There are also interesting links between nature and a "lost" world, with arcane atmospheres recurrent in modern TV series, e.g., Lost, etc., somewhat surprising, given that these gardens were done in 1786...
Nestled at the very end of the your trip through the palace park. Definitely worth the hard work of traversing the entirety of the park. Stunning grotto awaits and rewards your hard work of navigating through the English garden.
Beautiful garden. Be prepared for a long walk (1-2hours)
Amazing. We took the golf cart tour. Well worth it. The guide was kinda cool telling us the history of the garden as well as the meaning of various statues I could have spent the entire day there
The fountain and the garden are very beautiful. The walk to the fountain seemed like a longer walk with kids so we took the bus the line wasn't very long for the bus. I very much enjoyed the gardens and how beautiful the scenery was.
The English garden is a must-see garden! Take the time out of your life to visit this wonderful 18th English garden with its parkland form packed full of amazing surprises. From the 18th beehive courtyard to the water lily pond and the "ancient" ruins, I was captivated by every step through this garden. I'm so pleased I took the time to visit it. For €9 per person, I think it's an absolute steal! Visiting tips 1. If you have the time and the energy, walk from the palace to the English garden. It is approximately 2km, slightly uphill, but you'll see some amazing waterfalls and sculpture along the way. 2. If you just want to see the English garden and don't have time to walk from the palace, the shuttle bus takes you there from the palace for just €2.50 each way. 3. Make sure you find the bath of Venus in the garden. It's truly stunning. 4. If you need a bite to eat or a drink in the hot sun, there is a bar restaurant outside the English garden near to the Diana fountain which is reasonably priced.

Beautiful complex with stunning view of Caserta all the way to the sea. We also took the guided tour of the palace at 16:30. It lasted about 1h and was really worth it. The guide was super prepared and made the whole visit entertaining. It’s 100% worth it!
Great experience, a real surprise: after Reggia Caserta and Caserta Vecchia, I was wondering what to do in Caserta….this was a great surprise. Two reasons: nice building and a lot of info about the production of silk, all processes. The best is that there is a guide explaining a lot of info. Ticket is around 10 EUR because there is a guide but it is really worth. They should make more publicity….
Amazing place for history of silk and made a wonderful people who really assist you...should visit for some one visit campania area
Best culture the nest after medieval
The only reason it doesn't get 5 stars is bc the restoration isn't done. Belvedere means beautiful views and it lives up to its name! Built on the side of the mountain in Caserta it overlooks the entire city!
A great place, especially the museum of the silk. A very interesting story behind the silk factory and the respect to human nature and employees. Read the story before visiting. The views are fantastic as the name implies, overlooking province of Napoli and Vesuvius volcano.
Gorgeous example of Vanvitelli style architecture. This place has a lot of history and a fantastic view over the city of Caserta. It was a former silk factory during the times of the Borbons and a commune with it's own constitution was created around the factory. It was the first social experiment of its kind in Europe. The factory hosts a museum now where the silk factory machines are preserved almost intact. It is really worth visiting.
A little paradise with a huge heritage to visit. I am glad to be born and grown in this place. I would highly suggest to visit San Leucio either for a little walk or visiting the monumental complex.

A museum not really known but the story of the place and the idea at the base of it gives us a different idea of the kingdom of Naples. Sadly it is not as known as it should be
Had to have a guided tour, which was in Italian, with no option for an english translation on headset, etc. We speak a little italian, but even so, we could not hear the guide. There are some english written translations on the exhibits but not on all, and the guide was moving through too fast for us to even read them. The children were bored despite them speaking fluent italian and having an interest in Hidtory and engineering. We didn't even realise the tour had ended as the guide disappeared without ending the tour. Gardens and most rooms were also closed. €36 for two adults and 3 children, compared to €32 entry to Herculaneum and €30 to Regina Caserta Not worth the visit in our opinion.
This museum has a lot to offer most guests and I suggest you do not pass by this gem. However, the man selling tickets could be much better. He only speaks Italian, which is fine. He was not patient when I tried to speak in Italian. But, what got my attention was when his coworker tried to help him, he brushed off the coworker. We could have had better information going in had the ticket seller been more open or patient. I think the ticket seller might need to realize that a Euro is a Euro whether if comes from a person speaking italian or speaking English or speaking German, what have you. Patience can go a long way in the tourism business in any country.
Fantastic. Amazing history.
(Translated by Google) The exterior is very pretty, and the guide was very friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. It has a lot of potential, but it's clear the municipality isn't investing much in the place. It's a shame; it could be enhanced and combined with a visit to the Royal Palace by improving the interior facilities. (Original) Molto carino l’esterno, guida molto cordiale, disponibile e informata. Ha moltissimo potenziale, ma è evidente che il Comune non investe molto nel posto. È un peccato, si potrebbe valorizzare e unire alla visita della Reggia, migliorando le strutture interne.
(Translated by Google) A cultural Sunday with my mother in a splendid location after visiting the royal palace, the pride of the municipality of Caserta, with its façade recently restored by the Cultural Heritage Department, a proud achievement of the Bourbon King Ferdinand I or IV, an example of civility, gender equality, respect for work and personal growth... what beautiful times to relive as an example! (Original) Una domenica culturale con la mia mamma in una splendida location dopo la visita alla reggia, orgoglio del comune di Caserta , con la facciata recentemente ristrutturata dai Beni culturali, una realizzazione orgoglio del re Borbone Ferdinando I o IV esempio di civiltà, uguaglianza di genere, rispetto del lavoro e della crescita personale....che bei tempi da riprendere come esempio!

You can admire original machinery and silk processing techniques. (Original) Struttura dal grande potenziale che può essere ancora più valorizzata.

We were really impressed from the English garden but when we saw this place our minds were just blown away. It seems untouched after the last person who used it.

Most impressive part of english garden. Don't miss this.
Astonishing.. i just hope they take care of their heritage and maintain it more
(Translated by Google) In the 18th century, there was a great fascination with antiquity - during this time, artificial ruins and imitated ancient buildings were created in many places. This place is also not a real ancient site, but rather a production from that era. The statues on display, on the other hand, actually come from archaeological excavations at other sites. The complex is lovingly designed and develops a mysterious, almost mystical atmosphere, especially if you are alone there. (Original) Im 18. Jahrhundert war die Faszination für die Antike groß – in dieser Zeit entstanden vielerorts künstliche Ruinen und nachgeahmte antike Bauwerke. Auch dieser Ort ist keine echte antike Stätte, sondern eine Inszenierung aus jener Epoche. Die ausgestellten Statuen hingegen stammen tatsächlich aus archäologischen Ausgrabungen an anderen Fundorten. Die Anlage ist liebevoll gestaltet und entfaltet eine geheimnisvolle, beinah mystische Atmosphäre, insbesondere, wenn man sich allein dort aufhält.
(Translated by Google) A fascinating site located in the English Gardens of the Royal Palace of Caserta. It looks like ancient Roman ruins, but they are an imitation, though renovation would be in order. The corridor overlooks another beautiful spot – the Bagno di Venere. It's worth a visit while visiting the English Gardens. (Original) Fascynujące miejsce położone w Ogrodach angielskich Pałacu Królewskiego w Casercie. Wygląda na starożytne rzymskie ruiny ale to jest imitacja aczkolwiek renowacja przydałaby się. Korytarz wychodzi na kolejne piękne miejsce - Bagno di Venere. Warto się tam wybrać zwiedzając Ogrody Angielskie.
(Translated by Google) The guide explained that the King's goal was to give his guests the feeling of visiting a piece of Pompeii, which is why he built the Cryptoporticus, a fake ruin with gaps in the roof, floors, and mosaics purposely destroyed, all copied strictly from Pompeii originals. The adjacent lake (Venus' Bath) and the entire English garden are also very beautiful. Note: There is also the Nymphean Lake, but it's a little further away. (Original) La guida ha spiegato che l'obiettivo del Re era far vivere ai suoi ospiti la sensazione di visitare un pezzo di Pompei, per questo fece costruire il Criptoportico, una finta rovina, con squarci sul tetto, pavimenti e mosaici rovinati ad hoc, tutto copiato rigorosamente da originali di Pompei. Molto bello anche il laghetto adiacente (bagno di Venere) e tutto il giardino inglese. NB C'è anche il lago delle Ninfee, ma è un po' più in là.
(Translated by Google) It looks real, but it's not, in the sense that it's a fake semicircular nymphaeum. You can see cracks in the vault and an uneven floor, all carefully crafted to make visitors believe they're standing before a historical relic. Even the statues come from the Bourbon archaeological excavations and the Farnese collection. Part of the structure is closed to the public due to ongoing renovations. (Original) Sembra vero ma non lo è nel senso che è un finto ninfeo a forma semicircolare. Si vedono squarci nella volta ed un pavimento sconnesso, tutto studiato a pennello per far credere ai visitatori di trovarsi davanti ad un reperto storico. Anche le statue provengono dagli scavi archeologici dei Borbone e dalla collezione Farnese. Parte è chiusa al pubblico per lavori in corso.

The guide was very kind and patient, giving simple and interesting explanations. They even gave us a ride to Caserta city center, since we had come on foot!! Thank you again for your infinite kindness and for what you do!! Highly recommended (Original) Siamo stati domenica 30/07/2017, io, il mio compagno e il nostro bimbo di due anni... è stata una bella esperienza. L'oasi è veramente molto bella e immersa nel verde. Curata, ma lasciata molto naturale!! Quello che fa la differenza è di certo la cordialità e l'amore che ci mettono le persone che ci lavorano. La guida è stata molto gentile e paziente, dando spiegazioni semplici e curiose. Ci hanno dato anche un passaggio fino a Caserta centro, essendo venuti a piedi!! Ringrazio ancora per l'infinita gentilezza e per quello che fate!! Super consigliato
(Translated by Google) I already knew the forest managed very well by the Paolella family. Simply fantastic!!! The "Fairy tales in the woods" initiative was a special moment. The children were captivated by the stories of the talented masked protagonists. Affectionate, friendly and funny. An experience that I recommend to all families with children up to 8 years old who want to experience classic evergreen fairy tales up close. (Original) Conoscevo già il bosco gestito egregiamente dalla famiglia Paolella. Semplicemente fantastici!!! L iniziativa "Favole nel bosco" è stata un momento speciale. I bambini sono stati catturati dai racconti dei bravissimi protagonisti in maschera. Affettuosi, simpatici e divertenti. Esperienza che consiglio a tutte le famiglie con bambini fino agli 8 anni che vogliono vivere da vicino le classiche favole evergreen.

A museum not really known but the story of the place and the idea at the base of it gives us a different idea of the kingdom of Naples. Sadly it is not as known as it should be
Had to have a guided tour, which was in Italian, with no option for an english translation on headset, etc. We speak a little italian, but even so, we could not hear the guide. There are some english written translations on the exhibits but not on all, and the guide was moving through too fast for us to even read them. The children were bored despite them speaking fluent italian and having an interest in Hidtory and engineering. We didn't even realise the tour had ended as the guide disappeared without ending the tour. Gardens and most rooms were also closed. €36 for two adults and 3 children, compared to €32 entry to Herculaneum and €30 to Regina Caserta Not worth the visit in our opinion.
This museum has a lot to offer most guests and I suggest you do not pass by this gem. However, the man selling tickets could be much better. He only speaks Italian, which is fine. He was not patient when I tried to speak in Italian. But, what got my attention was when his coworker tried to help him, he brushed off the coworker. We could have had better information going in had the ticket seller been more open or patient. I think the ticket seller might need to realize that a Euro is a Euro whether if comes from a person speaking italian or speaking English or speaking German, what have you. Patience can go a long way in the tourism business in any country.
Fantastic. Amazing history.
(Translated by Google) The exterior is very pretty, and the guide was very friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. It has a lot of potential, but it's clear the municipality isn't investing much in the place. It's a shame; it could be enhanced and combined with a visit to the Royal Palace by improving the interior facilities. (Original) Molto carino l’esterno, guida molto cordiale, disponibile e informata. Ha moltissimo potenziale, ma è evidente che il Comune non investe molto nel posto. È un peccato, si potrebbe valorizzare e unire alla visita della Reggia, migliorando le strutture interne.
(Translated by Google) A cultural Sunday with my mother in a splendid location after visiting the royal palace, the pride of the municipality of Caserta, with its façade recently restored by the Cultural Heritage Department, a proud achievement of the Bourbon King Ferdinand I or IV, an example of civility, gender equality, respect for work and personal growth... what beautiful times to relive as an example! (Original) Una domenica culturale con la mia mamma in una splendida location dopo la visita alla reggia, orgoglio del comune di Caserta , con la facciata recentemente ristrutturata dai Beni culturali, una realizzazione orgoglio del re Borbone Ferdinando I o IV esempio di civiltà, uguaglianza di genere, rispetto del lavoro e della crescita personale....che bei tempi da riprendere come esempio!
(Translated by Google) A structure with great potential that can be further enhanced. A guided tour reenacts the ingenious ways silk was crafted in the late 1700s. The visit lasts about an hour. You can admire original machinery and silk processing techniques. (Original) Struttura dal grande potenziale che può essere ancora più valorizzata. Rievocazione, grazie alla guida, di come in maniera ingegnosa si lavorava la seta dalla fine del 1700, la visita dura circa un’oretta. Si possono ammirare macchinari e lavorazioni di sete originali.

This is another beautiful site to visit. It's only a 25-35 minute drive up the hill from Caserta. Once at the top there is plenty of parking. You have many options to eat or just bring a food for a picnic. Nice historic town walk with narrow streets. The castle grounds is lovely. Plenty of spots for pictures. Always have good walking shoes and don't be in a hurry. Weather was nice, enjoy this romantic spot.
Spaghetti boys blocked all entrances. Easy climb over the fence tho
Build in 861 AD is a ruins but the municipal can bring it finery by restoring it completely! 401 meter height place. Good to eating somewhere around!
(Translated by Google) Stunning village with a truly evocative atmosphere, the Duomo stands out with its bell tower, it's a shame not to have found a brochure in Italian in the cathedral to explain it, there was only one in English, the tower was closed, I saw photos from other users where you entered, no information sign on opening, closing, times, nor even the slightest explanation of the tower, church with the other tower near the cathedral also closed, in short, a place with a lot of potential but left to itself, too bad, the buildings are beautiful traditional shops and good food. I will return (Original) Stupendo borgo si respira un’aria davvero suggestiva, il Duomo svetta con il suo campanile, peccato non aver trovato brochure in italiano nel duomo per spiegarlo, c’era solo una in lingua inglese, la torre era chiusa, ho visto foto di altri utenti in cui si entrava dentro, nessun cartello informativo su apertura ,chiusura ,orari, nè minima spiegazione della torre, chiesa con l’altro torrione vicino al duomo anch’esso chiuso, insomma luogo dalle tante potenzialità ma lasciato a se stesso peccato, bellissime le botteghe tradizionali e buono il cibo ci ritornerò
(Translated by Google) Caserta vecchia is worth a visit. The medieval village requires an hour to be visited. It is better to go not too early in the morning, because the shops are closed. The cathedral, the bishop's palace, the belvedere, the castle are truly characteristic. It should be enhanced more. (Original) Caserta vecchia merita una visita. Il borgo medievale necessita di un'oretta per essere visitato. È meglio recarsi non troppo presto la mattina, perché i negozietti sono chiusi. Il duomo, il palazzo del vescovado, il belvedere, il castello sono veramente caratteristici. Dovrebbe essere maggiormente valorizzata.
(Translated by Google) The medieval castle arose atop the Tifatini mountains around 861 and was later fortified by the Normans and Swabians with the addition of six square towers. The structure was polygonal in shape and surrounded by a moat. Inhabited since its construction, in 1349 it resisted the assault of Louis of Anjou. With the arrival of the Bourbons in Naples in the 18th century, the castle passed into the hands of Charles III. Several earthquakes and the passing of the centuries have compromised its structure, of which today few ruins remain aside from the tower that stands as the emblem of the village. The Maschio, or Tower of the Falcons, 30 meters high, is among the largest in Europe, with drawbridges that guaranteed access. (Original) Il castello medievale sorse sulla sommità dei monti Tifatini intorno all’861 e fu poi fortificato da Normanni e Svevi con l’aggiunta di sei torri a pianta quadrata. La struttura aveva forma poligonale e intorno ad essa correva un fossato. Abitato sin dalla sua edificazione, nel 1349 resistette all’assalto di Luigi d’Angiò. Con l’avvento dei Borbone a Napoli nel Settecento, il castello passò nelle mani di Carlo III. Alcuni terremoti e il passare dei secoli ne hanno compromesso la struttura, della quale oggi restano pochi ruderi oltre alla torre che si erge a emblema del borgo. Il Maschio, o Torre dei falchi, alta 30 m, è tra le più grandi d’Europa, con ponti levatoi che ne garantivano l’accesso.

(Translated by Google) Very disappointing experience. The gym is often dirty, especially in the changing rooms, which are cleaned in a rough way. The instructors spend most of their time chatting with some customers instead of following those who really need help. To make matters worse, the cleaning lady was rude and impolite several times, responding arrogantly when something was pointed out to her. An unprofessional and not at all welcoming environment. Not recommended. (Original) Esperienza molto deludente. La palestra è spesso sporca, soprattutto negli spogliatoi, che vengono puliti in modo approssimativo. Gli istruttori passano gran parte del tempo a chiacchierare con alcuni clienti invece di seguire chi ha davvero bisogno. A peggiorare le cose, la signora delle pulizie è stata più volte scortese e maleducata, rispondendo in modo arrogante quando le è stato fatto notare qualcosa. Un ambiente poco professionale e per nulla accogliente. Sconsigliato.
(Translated by Google) Beautiful facility with friendly and helpful staff. I'm giving it 4 stars only because it could use some updating, from the rather dated air conditioning to the addition of a few more handlebars, which are really just a few. Small touches that would make it a truly excellent facility. Highly recommended! (Original) Bella struttura con personale gentile e disponibile. Do 4 stelle solo perché necessiterebbe di essere un pò rinnovata, dai condizionatori piuttosto vecchiotti all'aggiunta.di qualche manubrio in più, che sono davvero pochi. Piccoli accorgimenti che ne farebbero una struttura davvero di ottima livello. In ogni caso consigliatissima!!!
(Translated by Google) I went to this gym because I wanted to join but I noticed a couple of things that I didn't like, the first is that to get to the equipment room you have to climb two flights of stairs and since I have problems with my knee it would have become tiring and the second is that the room where the equipment is located has no windows that can be opened, so I leave you to imagine the smell and the feeling of suffocation. The gym is not bad, it has improved a lot compared to previous years but I think it can still improve! (Original) Mi sono recata in questa palestra perché volevo iscrivermi ma ho notato un paio di cose che non mi sono piaciute, la prima per arrivare alla sala degli attrezzi devi salire due rampe di scale ed io avendo problemi con il ginocchio sarebbe diventato faticoso e la seconda è che la sala dove sono posizionati gli attrezzi non ha finestre che si possano aprire, quindi lascio imaginare l'odore e la sensazione di soffocamento. La palestra non è male, è migliorata tanto rispetto ad anni precedenti ma penso si possa migliorare ancora!
(Translated by Google) I signed up for a one-month membership for €39.90, with the assurance—both at reception and on WhatsApp—that the pool would remain open throughout August, except for the 15th, because for health reasons I need to swim constantly. At the end of July, shortly after signing up for the membership, I received notification that the pool would be closed from the 9th to the 17th for "maintenance." I actually had serious doubts: in the days leading up to the closure on the 9th, there were no instructors or lifeguards on duty to ensure safety, only a cleaner. At this point, it seems clear that the closure wasn't for maintenance, but for vacation. Not only that: the promised reopening on the 17th was further extended until August 25th, effectively leaving members without a pool for almost the entire month. First, I was told that my membership would be suspended, then that I would make up the lost days, then that I would be contacted by the manager: none of this was fulfilled. The new manager has presented herself as a bringer of "change," but if that's the path she's taken, she's off on the wrong foot. Frequenting this facility, I've learned, to my detriment, that it's overpriced because it's rundown (I haven't seen any renovations to the floors or ceilings), has unclean bathrooms, broken lockers, and unqualified instructors, especially the swimming instructors, who spend their time on their phones or chatting among themselves. Lately, I've seen a flurry of positive reviews, likely fabricated to improve the average, since they all praise the new manager. (Original) Ho sottoscritto un abbonamento da un mese a 39,90€, con la rassicurazione – sia alla reception che su WhatsApp – che la piscina sarebbe rimasta aperta tutto agosto, tranne il 15, perché per motivi di salute ho bisogno di nuotare costantemente. Alla fine di luglio, quindi poco dopo aver sottoscritto l'abbonamento, invece arriva la comunicazione che la piscina sarebbe stata chiusa dal 9 al 17 per “manutenzione”. In realtà ho forti dubbi: infatti, nei giorni precedenti alla chiusura del 9, non c’erano più istruttori né assistenti bagnanti a garantire la sicurezza, ma solo un addetto alle pulizie. A questo punto sembra evidente che la chiusura non fosse per manutenzione, ma per ferie. Non solo: la riapertura promessa al 17 è stata ulteriormente prorogata fino al 25 agosto, lasciando di fatto gli abbonati senza piscina per quasi l’intero mese. Prima mi è stato detto che l’abbonamento sarebbe stato bloccato, poi che avrei recuperato i giorni persi, poi che sarei stata contattata dalla responsabile: nulla di tutto questo è stato mantenuto. La nuova responsabile si è presentata come portatrice di “cambiamenti”, ma se è questa la strada intrapresa, ha iniziato con il piede sbagliato. Frequentando questa struttura ho imparato, a mio discapito, che propone prezzi allettanti perché fatiscente(non ho visto nessun rifacimento della pavimentazione o dei soffitti) , bagni poco puliti, armadietti rotti e istruttori per nulla qualificati, soprattutto quelli del nuoto che passano il tempo con il cellulare in mano o a chiacchierare tra loro. Negli ultimi tempi ho visto fioccare recensioni positive probabilmente costruite ad hoc per migliorare la media, visto che lodano tutte la nuova responsabile.
(Translated by Google) The beautiful gym with courses in the water courses on land but above all what I loved most, postural for my problems and they encourage you to make subscriptions nodded, so once the money is collected then they close the courses, as if we did not exist, we are really very angry about 40 people who have to rush to book and then nothing. Definitely not recommended open your eyes my daughter signed up in May and they had assured her the pilates and postural courses in addition to the water aerobics one. until July and instead it only remains until June water aerobics, I call them scams. (Original) La bellissima palestra con corsi in acqua corsi a terra ma soprattutto quello che amavo di più, posturale per i miei problemi e loro ti invogliano a fare abbonamenti annuì ,così una volta incassati i soldi poi chiudono i corsi ,come se noi non esistessimo ,siamo veramente molto arrabbiati circa 40 persone che devono fare le corse per prenotare e poi più niente. Sicuramente sconsigliato aprite gli occhi mia figlia si è iscritta a maggio e le avevano assicurato i corsi di pilates e posturale oltre quello di acquagym.fino a luglio e invece resta solo fino a giugno acquagym,io le chiamo truffe.
(Translated by Google) I signed up for a €39.90 monthly pass for August, attracted by the opportunity to enjoy free swimming, especially during the month, and reassured by the staff that the pool would be open all month, except August 15th. It's a shame that the pool has now been closed completely from August 9th to 17th, supposedly for "extraordinary maintenance." I find this communication belated and lacking in transparency, especially since it wasn't even mentioned at the time of the subscription. I also find it highly suspicious that extraordinary maintenance is scheduled right in the middle of the August bank holiday and lasts so long: it's easy to think it's actually a holiday closure, disguised as technical reasons. I've been using the pool for a couple of months, and unfortunately, this isn't the first time it's had problems: it's often closed due to unexpected malfunctions, and on more than one occasion, I've had to swim with visibly cloudy water, a sign of inadequate maintenance. (UPDATE: It has now been announced that the closure will be extended until August 25th to ensure a peaceful year for customers. ANOTHER BITTER NOTE: In the last few days before the pool closed, there was no instructor or lifeguard on duty to ensure the safety of swimmers, but rather a cleaner.) What I find even more serious is the lack of professionalism and planning: serious maintenance is planned and communicated well in advance. So I wonder why I was assured that the pool would only be closed on August 15th? This management seems truly disrespectful to customers, especially those, like me, who chose a monthly summer pass counting on a service that will now be unavailable. I expect at least a partial refund or an extension of my pass, although, given such unprofessional management, I don't think I'll renew in the future. (Original) Ho sottoscritto un abbonamento mensile da 39,90€ per il mese di agosto, attirata dalla possibilità di usufruire soprattutto del nuoto libero, con la rassicurazione da parte dello staff che la piscina sarebbe rimasta aperta tutto il mese, escluso il 15 agosto. Peccato che ora venga comunicata una chiusura totale della piscina dal 9 al 17 agosto, per presunta "manutenzione straordinaria". Trovo questa comunicazione tardiva e poco trasparente, anche perché non era stata minimamente menzionata al momento della SOTTOSCRIZIONE. Trovo inoltre fortemente sospetto che una manutenzione straordinaria venga programmata proprio nel pieno del periodo di Ferragosto e duri così a lungo: viene spontaneo pensare che si tratti in realtà di una chiusura per ferie, mascherata da motivi tecnici. Frequento la piscina da un paio di mesi e purtroppo non è la prima volta che si verificano disagi: capita spesso che venga chiusa per malfunzionamenti improvvisi, e in più di un’occasione mi è successo di dover nuotare con l’acqua visibilmente torbida, segno di una manutenzione non sempre all’altezza. (AGGIORNAMENTO : ora è stato comunicato che la chiusura si potrarrà fino al 25 agosto per garantire un anno sereno ai clienti. ALTRA NOTA AMARA:Gli ultimi giorni prima che chiudesse la piscina ad assicurarsi della sicurezza dei bagnanti non c'era un istruttore o un assistente bagnanti ma un addetto alle pulizie.) Quello che trovo ancora più grave è la mancanza di serietà e di programmazione: le manutenzioni serie vengono pianificate e comunicate con largo anticipo. Allora mi chiedo perché mi è stato garantito che la piscina sarebbe rimasta chiusa solo il 15 agosto? Questa gestione mi sembra una vera mancanza di rispetto nei confronti dei clienti, specialmente di chi, come me, ha scelto un abbonamento mensile estivo contando su un servizio che ora non verrà garantito. Mi aspetto almeno un rimborso parziale o un’estensione dell’abbonamento, anche se, vista la gestione così poco professionale, non credo rinnoverò in futuro.
(Translated by Google) A membership is advertised that also includes access to the spa. It's fine that the spa doesn't actually exist, but that, in the course of the work, courses attended and requested by many members are eliminated seems really unserious to me. I ask the owners a question. What would happen if all the regular course attendees concentrated in the weight room? I give my opinion: it would be an unmanageable chaos. Think again and restore the abolished courses (Original) Viene pubblicizzato un abbonamento con accesso anche alla spa. Va bene che di fatto la spa non esista ma che, in corso d'opera , vengano eliminati corsi seguiti e richiesti da tanti iscritti mi sembra veramente poco serio. Mi rivolgo alla proprietà per un quesito. Cosa succederebbe se tutti gli abituali frequentatori dei corsi si concentrassero in sala attrezzi? Dico la mia: sarebbe un caos ingestibile. Ripensateci e ripristinate i corsi aboliti

What a beautiful Theatre!
Extremely disappointing experience. We paid €18 each and waited in line, only to be told—without any clear explanation—that we wouldn’t be allowed in. A staff member eventually showed up, didn’t speak English, and simply said they would only let in the people ahead of us. No reason was given, no apology, nothing. Completely unprofessional and frustrating. Would not recommend.
(Translated by Google) The Court Theatre, very similar to the San Carlo in Naples, is located on the western side of the Royal Palace of Caserta. It was designed by Luigi Vanvitelli only after 1756, after work had already begun. Located inside the Palace for the exclusive use of the Court, the theater was inaugurated in January 1769 by the young royal couple, Ferdinand and Maria Carolina. Equipped with a reserved entrance that allowed the king to directly access the Royal Box, it has a classic horseshoe shape, with five tiers of boxes and columns of alabaster marble, coming from the Gesualdo quarries. The vault is divided into segments by voluminous ribs and has a fresco decoration in the central part carried out by Crescenzo La Gamba depicting Apollo trampling on the python, symbol of vice. The stage, delimited by the statues of Music and Tragedy, is equipped with a portal which, opening onto the Park, creates an evocative natural scenography. The only remaining scenography is a large canvas attributed to Antonio Joli. Restored thanks to the support of Tom Cruise, during the filming of Mission Impossible III, it immortalized the figure of Hercules, a figure dear to the Bourbon dynasty. (Original) Il Teatro di Corte, molto simile al San Carlo di Napoli, è ubicato nel lato occidentale della Reggia di Caserta. Fu progettato da Luigi Vanvitelli solo dopo il 1756, a lavori già iniziati. Collocato all'interno del Palazzo ad uso esclusivo della Corte, il teatro fu inaugurato nel gennaio del 1769 dalla giovane coppia reale, Ferdinando e Maria Carolina. Dotato di un ingresso riservato che consentiva al re di accedere direttamente al Palco Reale, ha una classica forma a ferro di cavallo, con cinque ordini di palchi e colonne di marmo alabastrino, proveniente dalle cave di Gesualdo. La volta è suddivisa in spicchi da voluminosi costoloni e presenta nella parte centrale una decorazione ad affresco eseguita da Crescenzo La Gamba raffigurante Apollo che calpesta il pitone, simbolo del vizio. Il palcoscenico, delimitato dalle statue della Musica e della Tragedia, è dotato di un portale che, aprendosi sul Parco, crea una suggestiva scenografia naturale. L'unica scenografia rimasta è una grande tela attribuita ad Antonio Joli. Restaurata grazie al sostegno di Tom Cruise, in occasione delle riprese di Mission Impossible III, immortalava la figura di Ercole, figura cara alla dinastia borbonica.
(Translated by Google) Abisso, by Per Barclay, is an exhibition that transforms the eighteenth-century theater of the Royal Palace of Caserta into a reflective abyss, filling the floor with a black fluid similar to oil. This smooth, mirrored and dark surface immerses visitors in a world of enigmatic reflections. The installation addresses profound and contemporary issues, such as extraction and the oil industry: oil becomes a metaphor for the subconscious, mystery and inner darkness. With Abisso, Barclay addresses the ambivalent power of hydrocarbons, raw material that has shaped the destiny of humanity, generating wealth and destruction, progress and tragedy. The visitor is thus invited to confront his own reflection: the black mirror does not only return the image of the viewer, but suggests the existence of a hidden, mysterious and alienating world. In this surface that simulates the idea of ​​an abyss, the artist seems to want to evoke the hidden truth, the attraction inherent in the vertigo of profound knowledge. (Original) Abisso, di Per Barclay, è una mostra che trasforma il Teatro settecentesco della Reggia di Caserta in un abisso riflettente, colmando il pavimento con un fluido nero simile al petrolio. Questa superficie liscia, specchiante e oscura, immerge i visitatori in un mondo di riflessi enigmatici. L’installazione affronta tematiche profonde e contemporanee, come l’estrazione e l’industria petrolifera: il petrolio diventa metafora del subconscio, del mistero e dell’oscurità interiore. Con Abisso, Barclay affronta la potenza ambivalente degli idrocarburi, materia prima che ha modellato il destino dell’umanità, generando ricchezza e distruzione, progresso e tragedia. Il visitatore è così invitato a confrontarsi con il proprio riflesso: lo specchio nero non restituisce solo l’immagine di chi guarda, ma suggerisce l’esistenza di un mondo nascosto, misterioso e straniante. In questa superficie che simula l’idea di un abisso, l’artista sembra voler evocare la verità nascosta, l’attrazione insita nella vertigine della conoscenza profonda.

Also inside the palace, there are modern art exhibits that bear no resemblance to what visitors expect from such a complex, which left me feeling uneasy and disappointed.

(Translated by Google) I visited the complex in October and was deeply disappointed that they've installed contemporary art in the palace—something utterly unacceptable and disgusting! Furthermore, they've cut down a huge number of giant, green, and majestic trees; they've simply killed them, leaving the fields empty, which, in my opinion, is senseless barbarism. They're probably preparing us for a "new reality" where there's no place for the former grandeur of this great culture. The management of the complex is a profound disappointment to Homo sapiens. (Original) Visité el complejo en octubre y me decepcionó profundamente que hayan instalado arte contemporáneo en el palacio, ¡algo totalmente inaceptable y repugnante! Además, talaron una gran cantidad de árboles gigantes, verdes y majestuosos; simplemente los mataron, y los campos quedaron vacíos, lo cual, en mi opinión, es una barbarie sin sentido. Probablemente nos estén preparando para una «nueva realidad» donde no hay lugar para la antigua grandeza de esta gran cultura. La administración del complejo provoca una profunda decepción en el Homo sapiens.

(Translated by Google) A small "castle" with a moat inside the park. Very beautiful. (Original) Малко „замъче„ с ров вътре в парка. Много красиво.
(Translated by Google) Crossing a meadow with centuries-old magnolias, you reach this delightful building, surrounded by a moat with waterways and drawbridges. Castelluccia was designed in the 18th century by the architect Francesco Collecini, who had in mind to create a miniature fortress. It has an octagonal plan surrounded by a terrace. Around it, a sort of Garden of Eden with lush vegetation is reflected in the crystal clear water that surrounds it. The entire complex was then transformed in the nineteenth century. The castelluccia was embellished with a belvedere, while the surrounding barracks were transformed into kitchen pavilions and dining rooms. The original guardhouse, however, has become a small coffee pavilion. In a corner of the garden, a delightful Chinese tin umbrella, made according to the fashion in vogue at the time, almost escapes sight. Small bells hang from its tips which give a lively touch to the entire terrace. Castelluccia has recently been the subject of restoration works, in order to bring it back to its ancient splendor. These interventions involved the surrounding bastion and the moat, which were damaged. The original decoration of the Chinese umbrella, however, has been revived. There were also many works that involved all the surrounding vegetation, given that after the Second World War a transplant of the most precious trees, such as magnolias and palms, had been carried out. Even the small adjacent canal had been showing signs of neglect for some time, so much so that it was now hidden from the view of passers-by. Therefore, it was also subject to restoration. To date, in fact, it shines in all its beauty with its bridges, artificial islets and fake ruins. Ferdinand IV of Bourbon loved to enjoy war games. When he felt like it, he organized one, inviting many people to participate: nobles, but also common people. It was precisely to give free rein to his imagination and to practice these fake battles that the king had this mini castle built. At the time, Ferdinando was eighteen years old and was constantly looking for small entertainment. (Original) Attraversando un prato con magnolie secolari, si raggiunge questa costruzione deliziosa, circondata da un fossato con corsi d’acqua e ponti levatoi. La Castelluccia venne progettata nel ‘700 dall’architetto Francesco Collecini, che aveva in mente di creare una fortezza in miniatura. Si presenta con una pianta ottagonale circondata da una terrazza. Intorno ad essa, una sorta di giardino dell’Eden dalla lussureggiante vegetazione si specchia nell’acqua cristallina che lo circonda. L’intero complesso è stato poi trasformato in epoca ottocentesca. La castelluccia è stata abbellita da un belvedere, mentre le caserme circostanti si sono tramutate in padiglioni per la cucina e in sale da pranzo. Il corpo di guardia originario, invece, è diventato un piccolo padiglione del caffè. In un angolo del giardino, quasi sfugge alla vista un delizioso ombrellino cinese in latta, realizzato secondo la moda in voga al tempo. Dalle sue punte pendono piccoli campanellini che attribuiscono un tocco vivace all’intero terrazzo.Recentemente la Castelluccia è stata oggetto di opere di restauro, al fine di riportarla al suo antico splendore. Questi interventi hanno coinvolto il bastione di cinta e il fossato, che risultava danneggiato. Dell’ombrellino cinese, invece, è stato ripreso il decoro originario. Molti sono stati anche i lavori che hanno riguardato tutta la vegetazione circostante, visto che nel II dopoguerra era stato realizzato un trapianto degli alberi più preziosi, come magnolie e palme. Anche il piccolo canale adiacente portava da tempo i segni dell’incuria, tanto da risultare ormai celato alla vista dei passanti. Pertanto, è stato anch’esso oggetto di restauro. Ad oggi, infatti, esso splende in tutta la sua suggestione con i suoi ponti, gli isolotti artificiali e le finte rovine. Ferdinando IV di Borbone amava dilettarsi con i giochi di guerra. Quando ne aveva voglia, ne organizzava uno, invitando a parteciparvi moltissime persone: nobili, ma anche gente comune. Fu proprio per dare libero sfogo alla sua fantasia e per esercitarsi in queste finte battaglie, che il re fece costruire questo mini castello. All’epoca, Ferdinando aveva diciotto anni ed era alla continua ricerca di piccoli svaghi.
(Translated by Google) A fort inside the Palace I went to see this fort with my girlfriend during a visit to the Royal Palace of Caserta. The building is located in the lower part of the royal gardens, on the left as you exit the palace. The building, closed to the public due to ongoing construction, has a moat surrounding it. The fish were removed from this body of water to allow its reclamation, and it is currently inhabited by an aquatic snake. In front of the entrance there is an immense centuries-old magnolia tree. An excellent ally during hot sunny days. (Original) Un fortino all'interno della Reggia Sono stato a vedere questo fortino con la mia ragazza in occasione di una visita alla Reggia di Caserta. La costruzione si trova nella parte bassa dei giardini reali, nella parte sinistra uscendo dal palazzo. L'edificio, chiuso al pubblico a causa di lavori in corso, ha un fossato che lo circonda. In questo specchio d'acqua sono stati rimossi i pesci per permetterne la bonifica, attualmente è abitato da un serpente acquatico. Di fronte all'ingresso è presente un immenso albero secolare di magnolia. Un ottimo alleato durante le calde giornate di sole.
(Translated by Google) One of the most beautiful and "secret" places in the Royal Palace park. The problem is that the ditch has been dry for months due to maintenance and the remaining water is stagnant. Some turtles died and there was no regard for the trapped animals (Original) Uno dei luoghi più belli e "segreti" del parco della Reggia. Il problema è che da mesi il fossato è secco per manutenzione e l'acqua rimasta è stagnante. Alcune tartarughe sono morte e non c'è stato nessun riguardo per gli animali rimasti intrappolati
(Translated by Google) Small fortification within the older area of ​​the park. The structure of the moat and drawbridges is interesting. The structure is not well kept on the inside. (Original) Piccola fortificazione all'interno della zona più vecchia del parco. Interessante la struttura del fossato e dei ponti levatoi. La struttura non é tenuta benissimo nella parte interna.
(Translated by Google) Very nice defensive fort, and in nineteenth-century style, too bad it's closed (Original) Fortino difensivo molto carino, e in stile ottocentesco, peccato che è chiuso
(Translated by Google) Not open to visitors, literally immersed in a disgusting puddle. All around carelessness. Yet there is an interesting description on the official map of the Palace. A real shame. (Original) Non visitabile, letteralmente immersa in una pozza schifosa. Tutto intorno incuria. Eppure c’è una interessante descrizione sulla mappa ufficiale della Reggia. Una vera vergogna.
(Translated by Google) Sixteenth-century building rebuilt in 1769 in the form of a miniature fortress where the young Ferdinand IV practiced mock battles. The surrounding garden is a little neglected. (Original) Edificio cinquecentesco ricostruito nel 1769 in forma di fortezza in miniatura presso il quale il giovane Ferdinando IV si esercitava in finte battaglie. Un pò trascurato il giardino intorno.
