Among the archaeological locations of Vesuvius, buried following the dramatic eruption of 79 A.D., Oplontis is probably the one that offers the most significant monumental testimonies of the Pompeian suburb: your local expert Archaeologist will guide you to these unforgettable places! Currently the only visiting monument of the ancient Oplontis is a large residential villa: it belonged to Poppaea Sabina, the second wife of Emperor Nero, or the heritage of her family, based on the testimony of an inscription painted on a mentioned amphora Sucundus, his slave or freedman. This place is a kind of miracle: the the wall paintings are still today vivid in colors and details… You’ll be totally AMAZED! Stabiae played an important strategic and commercial role: there are numerous villas in a panoramic position, conceived mainly for residential purposes, with large residential neighborhoods, spa facilities, porches and beautifully decorated nymphs. Currently you can visit 'Villa S. Marco' the largest among the Roman 'villas' and 'Villa Arianna', the oldest, which owes its name to the large painting with mythological subject found in the back wall of the triclinium. It’s very fascinating to see how the eruption was so distructive, even among the smallest villages – not as big as Pompeii and Herculaneum – and how everything is preserved as well!

Really lovely tour with Livio. Unfortunately we weren't able to go to Stabiae because of a change in hours for the site (outside of the company's control and they contacted me promptly). The company offered a more in-depth tour of the villa at Oplontis instead, which I appreciated. I got a lot of thoughtful detail about the villa, as well as the area and Vesuvian sites in general. The villa itself is stunning and well worth the trip if you love Roman archaeology. Definitely glad I did this and would recommend this tour, just double check with the company before selecting your time slot.

What a splendid day trip with a fantastic guide. I had spent a week exploring Pompeii and Herculaneum on my own but after having read about these two Roman villas in Lonely Planet and elsewhere, I decided I needed a guide to give me the most details and insights into them. Both of these villas complement each other and help flesh out the human, artistic, and emotional tragedy or the Vesuvius eruption. The frescoes and art at both villas is simply stunning. Well worth taking--and my guide was super knowledgable and informative, pointing out small details I might have otherwise missed or glossed over. He was super generous, too, taking a few pictures and his time as I moved along with him. Great day trip and well worth it!
