Oplontis and Stabia

The villas of otium

You will discover, accompanied by a professional guide, the luxurious villas of the Roman aristocracy that, thanks to their location, gave the ancient Romans the opportunity to enjoy a healthy climate and to get away from the chaos of the city. We are in the ancient cities of Oplontis and Stabia, which today take the name of Torre Annunziata and Castellamare di Stabia, located on the Campano coast south of Naples, also buried by the eruption of Vesuvius in 79 AD.

In the ancient Oplontis, you will visit the villa of Poppea, imposing and luxurious residence attributed to the second wife of Nero and included in the UNESCO list of world heritage, while in the ancient Stabia, on the hill of Varano, placed in a panoramic position, visit some of the villas brought to light thanks to the excavation campaign begun during the reign of Charles of Bourbon: the Villa San Marco and Villa Arianna can be visited, but certain is the existence of other villas still partially or completely buried and others totally unexplored.
