Villa Romana del Casale

The mosaic are beautiful preserved. Many rooms and lots of information. You will want to plan on 3 hours to see it all. If you have limited time, skim the front of the tour and spend the time in the master chambers.

You don't need to be a historian to admire this magnificent art. Simply impressive. The mosaics date from cca 4st AD and some amazingly preserved. It took us about 2 hours to visit them all, not because it’s a huge area but we stopped at every room delighted by the variety of motifs. It was a beginning of January and there was no crowd neither in Villa nor at the parking. The entrance ticket was 13€adults, children up to 18free and 18-25 6.5€. Go to toilet before you enter the Villa (before purchasing tickets) as no inside as far as we remember. Outside there were two for free.

Impressive history preserved. Nice open air setting. Easy to follow the path and read the informative signs. Amazing mosaics and murals. Definitely worth a visit if you are interested in history and arts.

These remarkable 4th Century AD Roman mosaics are massive in size and are amongst the best preserved. Situated in a small and quiet valley amongst the hills and trees. A must visit in Sicily. Visit in December as there are no tourists.

Visited early February (low season), car park €2 for first hour then €1 each subsequent hour. With no crowds (perhaps 20 other visitors?) we saw everything and read every information board in 2 hours. There is wheelchair access to the walkway above the interior mosaics but unless you can stand up periodically you won’t see much and it’s too narrow for two chairs/pushchairs to pass most of the time. The mosaics are wonderful- detailed, interesting and well preserved/renovated. One snack bar was open beside carpark in Feb, with adequate food. Toilets (take your own paper) are by the carpark, and near entrance ticket booth, none inside the site.

One of the finest mosaics in the world with outstanding colours .Quite breath-taking as you weave through the gang ways above . There is also a good restaurant for snacks on the site . I would avoid the free day on Sundays when it is mobbed ,better to pay admission during the week when it is quieter . If you are in the area do not miss it it well worth while

Awesome mosaics a bit off the usual tourist route but definitely worth the detour. We only had an hour which was barely enough to walk through the villa and read a few of the interesting descriptions of the mosaics. While a quick 1 hour tour is possible i would recommend to plan on at least 1.5 or 2 hours not to feel rushed and to have enough time to read more of the descriptions or to arrange a tour with the tour guides there on site. Note parking is paid at 2 Euros for the first hour and 1 Euro each additional hour. There are free restrooms in the tourist village by the parking lot and also at the Cafe closer to the villa.

Fascinating Roman era huntsman lodge from 3rd century bc. Each part of the mosaic floor tells a story about life during that time from hunting and gaming to Olympian events to beliefs of gods

Everyone visiting the interior of Sicily should see this very well-preserved Roman villa. The floor mosaics are absolutely stunning. I spend about 3 hours touring the various wings of the excavations.

It was a nice experience. The place is full of artistic decorations depicting life at that time. Each room has a different design / story to tell. The complexity of certain images is fascinating.
The kids enjoyed it too - highly recommended.

There is a large parking next to the venue, so that is not an issue.

If you have time, getting a guide to take you around the place and give you more details about the history and lifestyle at that time would make the experience richer. These guides would be available at the entrance for those interested.

Very interesting, the mosaics are so well preserved and the craftsmanship extraordinary. I love how each one tells a story.

Great place to find some imaginations to the roman culture. The mosaics are impressive.

Possibly the best preserved mosaics in the world. The explanations of the rooms and the many depictions in the fine mosaic work are excellent. This has to be one of the most extravagant Roman villas I have ever seen, and well worth the visit. The UNESCO status is well-deserved! Arrive early before the coaches 😉

Very impressive mosaics. We went during evening hours, only a dozen or so people, so no queues or congestions on the walkways above the mosaics. The paths on the site are well lid and very nice temperature during the summer evening.

What a stunning location. Amazingly preserved with incredible historical detail. It was off season when we visited and lots of space and time to look around. Find time to visit, you will not be disappointed.

Cute town, very touristy restaurants but still good. Amazing mosaics everywhere.

Our guide explained the history and life during late Roman times. The long hallway of mosaics was my favorite, telling the story of capturing and transporting exotic animals for the arena. Also, the mosaic of the music player mesmerizing the animals. Notice the life in their eyes.

Located just a few kilometers outside Piazza Armerina,in Sicily, is the site of this Roman Villa. Designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site, this place contains some very elaborate examples of Roman mosaics. Entrance fee was €10 during my visit. If you are into ancient art and culture, you might consider placing this on your list of places to visit when you next travel to sicily.

The mosaics were unbelievably beautiful. It's a miracle so much has been preserved for so long

Breathtaking mosaics. Best I have seen in the world. And been to Pompeii , !Herculaneum and Ostia Antica . Truly enchanting place where you can walk in each area. Some where you actually are on the mosaics. Incredible a must do
