A wonderful couple of hours can be spent looking at the fabulous antiques in this little known museum, situated near to the Royal hotel. Most of the ceramics, books and paintings are from the 17 and 18 centuries, although there are some rooms containing Roman antiquities. The garden is very peaceful too. Reasonably priced at Euros 7 per person.

Small museum with lovely garden and views, a rest from the hustle and bustle of Sorrento. A selection of original owner's paintings and sculptures.

A truly interesting and substantial collection of items. Neat building with garden out back. A good diversion from the touristy shops in Sorrento.

A large collection of paintings, porcelain, glassware, clocks and furniture. Paintings however do need some attention as detail is lost. The museum has a splendid garden leading out to a restaurant. Worth a visit just for the tranquility.

Like a previous reviewer we were sad to see the state of some of the exhibits, paintings need to be cleaned, frames are in need of maintenance. Even the Venetian blinds are hanging askew on some windows. The building is beautiful, the exhibits are worth more care than they appear to be getting. The views over the bay from the... More

We were discouraged to see the state of the building and so much of the collection. The majority of the paintings are in desperate need of cleaning and or/repair. The docents were unable to answer such basic questions as "Is the chandelier of Murano glass?". The identification labels looked as though the had been made on a cheap printer -... More

This is a privately maintained museum. An important consideration in Italy as you may rely on it being open as posted. It is very manageable just four floors with a lift available divided into 24 rooms. The website has an excellent oversight of the offerings. A most enjoyable garden with a grand view quite as it was when this villa... More

We got married in February 2013 at Museo Correale in Sorrento. The venue was better then we expected, it was stunning. A vintage feel and very classy. The 18th century art and furniture gave the ceremony that special touch, with the harpist in the background and the beautiful flower decorations it made everyone close to tears, due to being overwhelmed...

This is a large and wonderful museum that is easy to get around and take your time in. The Correale brothers did put together some wonderful collections of inlaid wood, majolica, art work and furniture. Each floor as you ascend, offers more interesting and beautiful artifacts and antiques. The views out of the various windows and doorways get progressively more... More

If your in the area then definitely worth a visit but in the heat of summer can be very hot! Take plenty of water with you and of course a camera. Maybe consider other activities in the local area as it may not fill your day! The local ice cream was excellent.
