The village was discovered by chance during the excavation of a well, when the theatre of

walking along the original ancient streets, visiting the beautiful houses built facing the seaside, the
magnificent baths, etc…

wood, food, furniture, is a great source of informations about the daily life of the romans.

preserved Pompeii and Herculaneum. You’ll get the chance to walk the rim of the crater (depending on
the weather). Wearing comfortable clothes and shoes, sun glasses and sun cream is recommended, as
well as carrying binoculars and a camera to enjoy the gorgeous view at its best.
