We are located on the coast of the Gulf of Naples where, in Roman times, luxurious villas were built and they were desired by "celebrities" and aristocrats for their vacations. Villa Arianna and Villa San Marco are the only remaining examples of dwellings within the Archaeological Excavations of Stabia, part of the great Archaeological Park of Pompeii.

The Ancient Stabia and its Villas

Also the Ancient Stabiae, today Castellammare di Stabia, was damaged by the eruption of Vesuvius in 79 AD, known for having destroyed the beauties of Pompeii and Herculaneum. Villa Arianna and Villa San Marco are the two most important villas discovered first between 1750-1754 (well-preserved by ash and pumice debris) and then brought back to light again in the 1950s. The last restoration ended in 2018.
