This small archaeological site (Villa San Marco and Villa Arianna) is a wonderment. You have to be dedicated and prepared for a bit of a walk but the visit will reward you with and exceptional treat. Both villas are in exceptional condition and, with many frescoes and flooring having survived, they offer a truly evocative view of country retreats for wealthy Romans. They are free to visit and the best part is that they are practically deserted most of the time. We walked around both and we were the only ones there.

We didn’t know about this and only spotted by accident as we were passing on the train. An early train the next day (early october) and there was no queue. Easy enough to pop out to ticket office (the regular train ticket office in foyer). Does everthing it days on the tin. Goes up over 1000 meters, great views from areas around the top (just be prepared to walk a bit), Goes down again. A great little trip for just 8€ per person.

The Villa Arianna is a bit out of the way. Take the train from Naples and get off at Via Nocera. The walk is uphill from the station and will take you about 40 minutes walking comfortably. You will pass Villa San Marco on your way up the hill. Arianna is not well sign posted (very Italian and part of its charm) so keep your eyes open, both for the sign and the traffic which can pass by quite close as there are no pavements. Your climb to the villa will be rewarded. When we visited we were the only people there. It was marvellous. We wandered from room to room, transfixed by the frescoes, but also by the sense, very evident here, that nature in tooth and claw is very close. There are numerous fault lines running across some of the tiled floors and the ripple effects of an earthquake can be seen quite clearly, reminding one how vulnerable life is here. These things, along with the incredible view down onto the nearby town of Via Nocera and across the Bay of Naples make this a very special place.
