Overview

Guided tour of the roman Villa Romana del Casale in Piazza Armerina town in Sicily, one of the most precious jewels left by the Roman civilization in Sicily. The villa, built in the III-IV a.d. it probably belonged to Valerio Massimiano, a powerful patrician of the empire. Since 1997 it has become a UNESCO world heritage, especially for the beauty of its mosaics, famous all over the world. The domus with its 48 rooms is built around the quadrangular peristyle which is accessed from the vestibule. The peristyle floor is entirely mosaic with drawings of European and African animals while the garden is enriched by a large fountain composed of three pools, covered in marble on the outside and in mosaic inside. Tour included the visit of the room with the ten girls in bikinis portrayed in various sports: throwing the disc, playing with the ball, exercises with weights and cross country and, later, the Basilica with the polychrome marble floors

Great guide and experience at Villa del Casale

Published on Jan, 2025

The Villa is absolutely amazing and our guide Luigi was the best: great with our teenagers, very accommodating, fun and with so much knowledge on the villa. He also made a great introduction about the historical context of the villa.

Mist see

The villa is amazing! A must see. It was like stepping back in time. Our guide Zagara was wonderful. So knowledgeable and personable. Her English was very easy to understand. She had tips on other things to see and places to eat at llocally.She made the experience very enjoyable.

A worthwhile visit

Published on Sep, 2024

Visited as part of a tour group with a local guide . Wow…….just wow . These are breathtaking, probably the best preserved mosaics we have ever seen . There are so many & many are in very good repair . Beautiful pictures , colours and patterns. If you get the chance do go & see them . It’s well worth it .

Fabulous Mauritania

Published on Jul, 2024

Our group of 4 was guided through Mauritania by Hadrami Bouh who owns Tour in Mauritania. Bouh lead us through his country, where his family has lived for many generations. We learned about his father and grandfather making haji by camel. He showed us cave paintings, the Eye of the Sahara along with the ancient cities along the caravan routes to the sea. Not only is he very knowledgeable about the country and the geography, he was very open to all of our questions about his and his family's lives. Our group was comprised of very experienced travelers. Each of us has been to over 200 different countries. We all agreed that Bouh was among the best guide we've had. I can't say enough about him. I highly -- very highly -- recommend him.

Six, if not seven, stars

Published on Jun, 2024

This site is fabulous if you are even remotely interested in mosaics. The site is a palace rather than a villa and is quite extensive. Some has been reconstructed so you get a good sense of the original buildings. The mosaic floors are incredibly extensive and fantastic. Access is via raised walkways, which are quite narrow Go at a time when it will be quiet as it can get very busy and noisy
