How to Have the Naples Royal Palace All to Yourself 🏰👑

This castle was a hunting lodge for kings. The first floor has some interesting relief map work of the area and a lot of images of previous owners but other than that it's a bit dull. The garden is nice but small and contains the chapel. The more interesting stuff is on the upper levels. You can only access these by buying a tour. The tour is in Italian. The notices around the castle are in Italian and French with occasional English. The upstairs rooms are where the family lived and they have attempted to populate it with the same furnishings that were used by the past owners and it makes it interesting. As this was a hunting lodge there are some really unusual (disturbing for this vegan!) features, such as the skulls and horns covering the ceilings and walls in some rooms. I have often passed this castle when it is out up and you see it from the road so it was nice to visit it at last.

This incredible place tells the Story of the Savoia family, the kings of Italy now exiled after the referendum of the 2nd of June 1946. The building is well kept and every room is furnisced and decorated with original objects and paintings. The Sala dei trofei, trophy room is quite controversial. It is "decorated" with thousands of skulls and horns and heads of hibex and chamoix who have been hunted and killed. You should be horrified but..unespectedly the room has a pleasant, romantic, welcoming aspect... It is worth a visit. Only guided tours

Vittorio Emanuele II and Umberto II are the two kings who enhanced and enjoyed this sober-looking residence the most. The Sarre Castle which can be visited today is located not far from Aosta. A Castle that tells of the boundless passion for hunting of these two Kings. The primitive existence dates back to 1200. The gallery is the hall of honor with a strong impact with skulls of hundreds of Chamois and thousands of Ibex horns, over 3,600....

It's not really a castle but a fancy hunting lodge. Whilst there was a castle here from 11th-12th century, the current building is from the 1800's. The bottom floor you can wander yourself, bit the 2nd and 3rd floor you must take a guided tour (which is only in Italian). Kinda interesting to see some of the rooms as they were, but not super compelling to visit.

Più che un castello è stato una delle residenze di caccia di Umberto I di Savoia. La costruzione ha linee pulite e si erge ben distinta all'entrata della valle di Cogne. Piacevole e ben curata la parte esterna, balcone dal panorama di fascino. Ma l'interno delude pur essendo tenuto molto bene, con opere di restauro e manutenzione ancora in atto. Piacevole e abbastanza esaustiva la guida che ci ha illustrato la residenza per la mezz'ora della visita. L'accesso sia alla torre che alle "cantine" non è previsto né menzionato. Perché le sole due stelle? Sopratutto per i due imponenti e importanti saloni "con decorazioni venatorie" = trofei di caccia :corna e teschi di ben 1800 esemplari fra stambecchi e camosci. D'accordo che occorre contestualizzare e non dare giudizi tranchant in base alla sensibilità odierna. Tuttavia, a prescindere da ciò, mi è parsa testimonianza arrogante e ottusa dimostrazione del "potere" che tutto può anche sulla natura. E il tutto non mi è sembrato né elegante né tanto meno originale. La visita vale anche per questi elementi di dubbio gusto.
