Museum Correale occupies the villa of the Correale counts of Terranova in Sorrento, left to the town by the brothers Alfredo and Pompeo Correale. It shows Neapolitan paintings of the 17th to 19th centuries, Capodimonte and Sèvres porcelain, Murano glass, clocks, inlaid furniture and archaeological finds, with a citrus garden and a terrace over the Gulf of Naples.

Villa San Michele is the house and garden built in the late 19th century by the Swedish physician and writer Axel Munthe in Anacapri, at the top of the Phoenician Steps, 327 metres above the sea. Munthe furnished it with Roman and Egyptian antiquities, including a sphinx on the parapet, and described it in The Story of San Michele (1929). It later passed to the Swedish state.
