This villa is a great visit! I have seen a few Roman Villas around the Med and this is one of the best preserved. The scale of the villa is clear to see which gives a great insight into the owner’s wealth and how they lived. The information is great. They have built a walkway above the rooms/mosaics which was an excellent way to take it all in. Would definitely recommend visiting. We visited on the drive from Palermo to Noto and it was a perfect stop for that drive. We visited in late December in the late afternoon and it was very quiet.

Villa Romana del Casale in Piazza Armerina is one of the most beautiful places I have ever visited. The mosaics are amazing and show a lot about the culture and lifestyle from over 2000 years ago. They are so detailed that you can clearly imagine how life was in Roman times. The art and design of the villa are impressive and give a unique look into history. It’s a place full of beauty and meaning, and I highly recommend visiting it.

Reportedly, this has some of the best examples of Roman mosaic floors in the world. They're certainly well preserved in the most part. The walk through involves stairs and gallery viewing which seems a very sensible way of both being able to see everything and preserve the floors. It's very busy! I dread to think what it's like in high season. There's not a lot else to see here, but it's worth making the time to visit. I would recommend a guide.

It is one of the best preserved and most impressive mosaic displays in the world (thanks to local geography). It gets continually more impressive. Everything about it is amazing and is totally worth coming in from the coast. They made so many animals on mosaic due to the historical links that they ended up just making new mythical ones!

Spectacular sample of well preserved huge roman mosaics. The visit is done through some narrow passageways that get crowded with a host of tourist buses, even on a quiet Monday of September. The way to the site can be tricky on a stormy day, with floods and mud in the way, as experienced by us. The site offers good options of street food, snacks and refreshments. Definitely worth the visit. Please allow enough time, given the remote location and the extension of the mosaics.
