Roman Villa del Casale in Piazza Armerina

This 2-hour private guided tour of the Villa Romana del Casale offers a deep and engaging exploration of one of Italy’s most important archaeological treasures. You will meet your licensed local guide directly at the entrance of the archaeological park and begin your journey through the remains of this tardo-antico luxury villa, once owned by a powerful Roman aristocrat.

As you move through the villa’s grand spaces—reception halls, private apartments, thermal baths, and service areas—your guide will reveal how each room functioned and what it tells us about Roman society. Particular attention is given to the mosaics, culminating in the breathtaking Great Hunt mosaic, a monumental scene illustrating the capture and transport of wild animals destined for imperial games across the empire. This masterpiece alone is considered one of the most important examples of ancient mosaics in Italy.

Thanks to the elevated walkways, you’ll enjoy excellent views of the mosaics while preserving the site, and your guide will help you interpret even the smallest details—symbols, techniques, and hidden meanings that often go unnoticed.

This private experience ensures a relaxed pace, personalized explanations, and the freedom to focus on what interests you most, far beyond what is possible in large group visits. An unforgettable journey into Roman Sicily, where archaeology, art, and history come together in spectacular fashion.
