We were met on the way in by a franchise tour guide who quoted our family a fee to get a personal tour. We did it. So much better than a big group and so much more details this way. You may take photos with no flash. She explained that this was a wealthy family that built this home for use similar to our "season" homes in Newport, RI. They only used it to get away from the heat and hustle of the big city. The mosaics are intact after all this time (4th Century!) and they have even improved the roof to further preserve this important archaeological site. A lovely day. There are two restaurants on the road nearby for lunch after you see it.

This was a beautiful, old Roman villa archeological site. The mosaics and architecture were well preserved and made it easy to envision what it might have looked like in it's day. The signage was very helpful in understanding what was what.

Villa Romano can be a little hard to find, but it is certainly worth the effort. Of all the ancient sites we saw in Sicily, this and Segesta were the standout ones.One can get very confused on how to get to the Villa site though. I hope these directions help you. - if you are using GPS and you start doing circles on the outskirts of Piazza Armerina try the following. Instead of taking the GPS left turn after you leave the motorway, head further up the street and you will pick up Villa Romano signs. Once you have done this, turn GPS back on and it should take you through the middle of the town and out and down the valley under the high motoway pass over. Believe me it's worth the effort.

The mosaics really are spectacular!It's also a great site to explore - reasonably big but set out in a logical way which makes it seeable in around an hour. There are signs in English which bring a lot of the mosaics to life, and help you imagine what it must have been like to live in the Villa when it was a centre of Roman power!We went towards the end of the day, so it was very quiet, with few other tourists.You can park in the Villa's car park for a small charge if you're driving, and it's a three minute walk to the entrance gate.If you can fit Villa Romana del Casale into your visit to Sicily then it will definitely be worthwhile!

Fantastic and a Sicily must do. Note that it is a bit confusing as to how you enter the platform walk way - and you need to make a couple of building changes which are not that well sign- posted. We hired the audio head-sets which really were worth while.

Saw these fantastic mosaics almost alone on a Saturday morning in Feb. Well worth a visit. We had stayed locally at Piazza Armerina at Villa Clementina which is a short drive. An absolute must see.

They have done an excellent job in building convenient catwalks over the mosaics so you can see everything without damaging the site.

You should make every effort to visit even if several hours drive away! This magnificent villa is the best preserved i have ever visited. It seems still alive, so much remains of it you can really see how it would be used and the grandeur of the villa.Each room is breath taking and it goes on forever, getting better and better! Not only are the mosaics preserved but also often the frescoes (wall paintings), statues and columns. It is unbelievably beautiful and impressive!

Given its 'remote' location in Europe, Sicily has many outstanding attractions. Villa Romana del Casale is certainly one of these.At arrival we were charged € 10, which was the same both high- and low season and discounts do not exist! To park the car in a deserted parking space cost € 4.50 despite all the tourist shops are closed for the winter in January when we were there. But unlike other sites, the entrance fee is justified, because they have really made an effort to give the visitors a flawless experience.The villa is laid out as a summer/hunting seat of a Roman nobleman in the late 200s AD. Far from the coast and high up in the mountains (540 m above sea level) it was erected here under 50 years to provide possibility for recreation and entertainment. Even own aqueduct with fresh water, swimming pools with underfloor heating (hypocaust) and so the most remarkable ¨C the mosaics!Each of the 40 rooms in the large facility is adorned with well-made mosaics ¨C probably made by masters from North Africa, whose matchless work of art has survived to the present day, thanks to a major landslide in the 1100s. You can view all of the rooms from a wide-ranging facility with walkways and almost the whole place is protected by comprehensive roofing systems. A generous number of information boards explaining to those who have time to take in all the information what all the expressive mosaic patterns on the floors represent. We were impressed by the hunting scenes, sporty ladies in bikini and Ulysses at the meeting with the giant Polyphemus (the Cyclop).As another visitor here on TripAdvisor observed that service around the facility are miserable. The staff is arrogant and if one should get hungry there is not much available. And cold in the "restaurant" as well, which meant that no one wanted to come in and nothing was sold. A vicious circle!For those who have an serious interest in art and culture a journey here is well worth trip even if it is long (100km). Avoid the bumpy road from Dittaino at the A19, and go via Enna, if you come from Catania.

We learned of the existence of the Villa Romana del Casale over dinner at Fattoria Mose, a very sociable Agriturismo B&B near Agrigento, and decided to go there on our way to Palermo. We were travelling by car, but it's easy to find a day trip to this place from, probably, anywhere in Sicily, but certainly from Taormina and Cefalu - we saw lots of buses from there. The villa itself is incredible - we had been to Pompeii and Herculaneum earlier in our holiday, so the Villa del Casale was the icing on the cake. At the Villa dei Misteri in Pompeii, and the Villa Oplontis close by, we saw Roman wall decorations which completely changed our ideas about what Roman Villas looked like (very colourful). At Villa Romana, we saw, mostly, the sophistication of mosaic floors. Villa dei Casale has approximately 3,500 sq. m. of almost complete, and incredibly rich and artistically executed mosaic floors. (There's also enough of the villa still standing that you can get a very good idea of how opulent it was, including some remaining wall decorations. It's a must - get there somehow, anyhow, if you are in Sicily.
