Hotels Piazza Armerina, Guesthouses Piazza Armerina and Residences Piazza Armerina

Piazza Armerina, a small municipality situated in the province of Enna, just in the heart of Sicily, is one of the most appreciated cultural destinations in the island. The Roman mosaics of Villa del Casale, which have been included in the prestigious list of UNESCO World Heritage Sites since 1997, attract tourists from all over the world.

The old town of Piazza Armerina, which rises 700 metres above sea level on the top of the southern Erei mountains, gathers plenty of comfortable accommodation facilities, such as elegant hotels belonging to different categories and charming guesthouses overlooking the thick forests of Parco della Ronza and Bosco di Rossomanno. The tourist offer is complemented by intimate holiday farms situated amidst impressive mountains and forests, small bed and breakfasts and budget hotels situated along the road leading to Villa del Casale.

Regarded to be one of the most important Roman cities in Italy, Piazza Armerina attracts tourists from all over the world. Its artistic, archaeological and historic heritage includes one of the largest late-Roman monumental residences ever built, Villa del Casale. The well-preserved mosaic floors and wall paintings of the villa help tourists understand the role each room played: the courtyard is embellished by leaves and vegetal patterns, the entrance hall by young people bearing little branches and a man wearing a crown of leaves who welcomed guests, both bedrooms and kitchens feature extravagant geometric patterns and the dining room is decorated with outstanding scenes depicting hunt and banquets. Several symbols and decorations draw inspiration from north-African and Oriental artistic patterns, since in the IV century A.D. Sicily played a fundamental role in trade across the Mediterranean Sea. Worthy of mention are the apsidal hall, the main rooms and the large thermal complex.
Apart from visiting Villa del Casale, tourists will have the opportunity to stroll around the city centre, which is scattered with outstanding monuments and lush green areas.
Parco della Ronza, which is situated 8 km far from Piazza Armerina, hosts comfortable pic-nic areas equipped with barbecues, tables and benches, as well as a playground and a small zoo, which make it the ideal destination to spend pleasant moments together with the whole family. The lovers of trekking and excursions will have the opportunity to explore Bosco di Rossomanno and its fascinating footpaths and Lake Pergusa, which is situated a short distance from Enna.
