Chewmonkey Posted May 14, 2004 #1 Share Posted May 14, 2004 Hi, We'll be in Naples i July, and we'd like to visit the Royal Palace in Caserta. It looks like Caserta is only about 15-20 miles from Naples, so it should be possible. Has anyone had any experience with this? Ideally, we'd like to hire someone that could take us to both Caserta and Pompeii, i we can fit it in to about 8 hours.. Thanks!

Mike Andrews Posted May 15, 2004 #2 Share Posted May 15, 2004 Hi Chewmonkey, It's a place I would also be interested to visit and I would be grateful for your feedback if you make a visit. DriveAmalfi(driveamalfi@hotmail.com) certainly visit Caserta as an option. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chewmonkey Posted May 18, 2004 Author #3 Share Posted May 18, 2004 Wow, no one has any information on Caserta? Well, if I get there, at least it won't be crowded... [img]http://www.members.aol.com/jab73199/r2move2[/img] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
franu Posted May 19, 2004 #4 Share Posted May 19, 2004 Gosh you have really jogged my memory. It was in 1979 but I am sure that much has not changed. The Palazzo Real in Caserta was a real surprize. It was one of the earliest palaces that I had seen AND I expected to see a more ornate building.I was not impressed by the art work and it surely needed a good dusting. (This was my opinion) but it has a marvelous main staircase.I found the grounds and the gardens worth the trip. There is also an aqueduct. You may wish to take a carriage ride to the top gardens. I believe that it is not far from Pompeii.Just make sure of the hours for visitors at both sites. FRAN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
