Stabiae Villas Excursion

We will begin our adventure with a convenient pickup at your hotel in Pompeii at the designated hour, setting off toward Castellammare di Stabia. Here, we will explore one of Italy's most significant archaeological treasures: the Villas of Stabiae.

Arriving at the site, you'll be guided through the remnants of the ancient Roman city bearing the same name by a knowledgeable expert. Our exploration will begin at Villa San Marco and continue to Villa Arianna, recognized as the most ancient villa d'otium in Stabia, with origins tracing back to the 2nd century BC. This villa is majestically situated on the western slope of the Varano hill, encompassing an expansive area of 11,000 square meters (approximately 118,403 square feet).

As you stroll through its numerous chambers, the opulent decorations will captivate you, highlighted by exquisite geometric mosaics and frescoes that illustrate animals and mythological figures. This experience provides a deep glimpse into Roman culture! Following our tour, you'll have a moment of leisure for relaxation.
