Too bad it's so hard to find, no road signs if you are coming from Rome on the Flaminia. At the end, you'll see few nice mosaics, ruins, etc. No worth the trip from Rome.

Turn round 180 degrees and there is the gate open Thurs and Friday 0930 -1330. Go in and you will come to a single storey building that houses a small exhibition of bits and bobs. Very large dog sits at the door feigning sleep, but with one eye on the twelve or so cats on the grass in front of him ! The villa proper is behind over the hill (Still no signs to speak of). It must have been spectacular in its day and the outline and some mosaics are still there (Other artefacts are in the Rome Museums) The pots in the garden are a little odd. It took me an hour and a half from Flaminia Railway station to the villa and back to Flaminia with a coffee and cornet thrown in at Prima Porta, so its not out of the way to do. There is car parking on the road outside.…
