How amazing that this Roman Villa has survived largely intact to give us such a wonderful insight to 2ndC life. A large number of the rooms have survived with some of the best mosaics we have seen - from bikini clad models to Greek & Roman historical fables and scenes! Well worth the 2 hrs or so that it took to walk around . A must visit!!

This was certainly a highlight of our tour of Sicily. We'd seen Roman Mosaics at various sites in the UK but nothing on this scale. It was preserved by a volcano eruption, much like Pompei, and explorations of the area are still going on. Apparently the covered site used to have a see-though roof but the mosaics started to deteriorate in the sun so now most of the site is covered. Amazingly some pieces of mosaics are in the open and walked on - areas that would be precious in some sites but here with so much these small bits are just left. It is amazing how much is available to see from the raised walkways. Take your time to look at the various floors from different angles. An amazing collection of rooms, floors and pictures.

We visited the Villa as part of our tour group trip and it was so interesting. The mosaics - and everyone mentions the hunting scene and the "bikini girls", although there are many others - are so well preserved, thanks to being covered as a result of a huge mud slide long ago. Some are pristine and the workmanship that has gone into all of them is simply amazing. Yes, it can be crowded, as part of it is single file only, but have patience and just enjoy them. The ruins of the Villa are not so well preserved, but the broad outline provides a sufficient picture of what it was once like.

We drove to the Villa Romana del Casale on our way to Siracusa. It was an exceptionally well preserved site of a 3rd century Villa with amazingly preserved floor mosaics. The Villa is large and there ia a lot to see. Our guide, Filippa was knowledgeable and excited to share her knowledge with us. It was a pleasure to visit the site under her guidance. Well worth a visit.

Brilliant experience with plenty of multilingual information about each section.....2-3 hours needed to take everything in. There`s a shuttle bus from outside of the tourist information office in Piazza Armerina (just down the hill from the bus station for 2.50 Euros return but FYI, the present timetable expires 30/10. Near the carpark, there are plenty of gifty shops, a couple of cafes and excellent WCs.

Well worth a visit to see well preserved mosaics and how the wealthy lived at that time. There are options for a guided tour or audio guide however there is adequate visual and written signage in all parts of the complex. Some walking involved but not too onerous.

These are the remains of an elaborate Roman villa from the 4th C AD. It is considered to contain the preeminent collection of Roman mosaics in the world, meriting their inclusion as an UNESCO WHS. Mosaics have been well preserved due to the area being covered by flooding and landslides. I wasn’t able to see a large section of those mosaics as the site was undergoing restoration during the off-season. Still, I was able to see much of the site and some mosaics. There are also a large collection of frescoes on interior and exterior walls. Wonderful insight into the Roman experience.

The mosaics in Villa Romana del Casale are astounding. There are over 37,000 sq. feet of beautiful mosaics here you will not see at any other ancient site. It is a wonderful thing that mud preserved these floors. Since it was mud, the walls are not well preserved and it is difficult to see the wall frescoes. The mosaics help to tell stories of ancient life and it is a good idea to go through with a guide.

This is a not to be missed experience. A large imperial villa in the centre of Sicily with fabulous mosaics. We used a great local guide, Sabrina Murgano, who's comprehensive knowledge of the site really brought it all to life. You need two hours to enjoy the building and mosaics and having a guide is essential so you do not miss anything. Our guide booked us a table for lunch at a neighbouring trattoria, the fabulous Trattoria La Ruota. Recommend booking lunch there before your tour of the villa as it is extremely popular and you will be hungry. This tour was a wonderful experience and highly recommended as part of any Sicily trip.

This site is a palace really rather than a villa. It is quite extensive. It is worth arriving early as the site can get quite busy and noisy and may make it hard to linger. Access is provided via elevated walkways on a fairly fixed route through the site There are very many superb Roman mosaics here - incredible really. Some of the superstructure has been re-created on the original outline providing a good sense of the building's scale and structure
