Villa Arianna

The modern town of Castellammare is located a few steps from the ancient site of Stabiae, once a privileged destination of the Roman patricians, who chose this place to spend their free time during the summer season, enjoying the view and being in direct contact with nature. Even today, although little known, some of these beautiful villas are preserved intact, partially incorporated in the modern town. The guided tour includes a visit to the luxurious Villa San Marco, which is spread over an area of 11,000 square meters, equipped with private baths where the owner could spend moments of leisure in the company of his guests. Second stop will be Villa Arianna, where we will visit the garden, the spa and other rooms decorated with frescoes and mosaics. From here we will enjoy a wonderful view of the gulf.
