Wonderful place! We recommend to come early morning to avoid the tourists flow!

If you want to get right into the nitty gritty of Italian history this is a good place to start. Well worth a visit

I looked for their schedule repeatedly. It specifically says on their website they are open Tuesday to Sunday. I arrived Monday in Sirmione and had to leave the next day. Specifically got up early to go there before leaving. No - they were closed. Just a handwritten papersign saying closed on Tuesday. Several people in village and hotel knew that. I could have gone there Monday. Very disappointed.

These ruins of an enormous Roman palace are pretty difficult to interpret unless you know a reasonable amount about Roman architecture. Most of the palace itself has disappeared, so you are basically wandering around the basement most of the time, imagining what the buildings above would have looked like. There are a few signs and maps which help a bit, and the views are brilliant. The site is surrounded by an ancient olive grove which still produces olive oil. We visited on a cloudy day, but it would be lovely to come when it's hot and picnic under the olive trees.

Impressive ruins if a once spectacular villa. A must see and entry is inexpensive and can include combined ticket to the castle. Good place to get some peace and quiet away from the busy town and if you take some lunch from one of the deli's on the way is a far nicer place than the crowded restaurants (and cheaper too). Good place for spotting the locale lizards
