Getting around
Arriving
none nearby. No railway. Interbus and AST coaches run from Catania and Enna; the Villa Romana del Casale sits 5 km from town with a seasonal shuttle.
Tickets · AST / Interbus
The baroque hill town is the base; the Roman villa's 3,500 square metres of mosaics are the reason everyone comes
Operator apps and bars; villa shuttle tickets on board.
Validate when boarding.
On foot
- ·The bikini girls, the great hunt corridor and the rest of the villa's floors take two slow hours under the covers; go early against the tour buses
Taxis and driving
- ·The practical inland Sicily answer; the villa's lot is large and the Caltagirone ceramics town pairs to the east
