Today you are greeted at Your Accommodation in Siracusa and driven to Piazza Armerina (approx. 2 hours driving).

Upon arrival, you will have the opportunity to enjoy the visit of the amazing Roman Villa of Casale (Admission fee Not included), that belongs to the Unesco Heritage. Built in the 4th century AD, the Villa was later forgotten and only in the 20th century excavations revealed the whole building.
