Great walk out there. Where I am staying is about 40 min walk so I went on foot. I wandered through nearby towns, then through what appears to have been an industrial farm to the Roman ruins. The road is blocked with an electrical wire but that’s to keep the cattle in. The Roman ruins are mostly fenced in but accessible. In the center is a hexagon wall with 5 buildings & door entrances, with the sixth appearing to have a ramp, wall or stairs leading toward the marsh. This cluster was interesting because it was distinctively different than the layout of the rest of the villa. It was quiet and peaceful, I imagined the people living here, farming, fishing, raising animals. I wonder if the some of terraces were made back then to help with farming. You can find a Wikipedia article on the site. The mosaics are in a museum now but the articles include photos of where they were. The land is amazing, it’s obvious that it has had times where it was quite productive. Take some time to wander around the rest of the property too.

Nothing to see if you're not an archeologist with a permission to dig 😂 Don't know if anyone visited this place in 20 years. Wild interesting surroundings like a ruined farm, a heard of cows and bulls as well as large colonies of crabs.

a bit hard to drive to. but well worth a visit. the romans certainly knew where to put their villas. what a view. a must to visit. Its a shame people think its robbers that have taken the mozaics. It was the musium of lisbon and Portimão that have them. And they allow all the cows to roam all over it

(Translated by Google) I was already at this place in 2003, 1 year after German archaeologists from Frankfurt and geologists from Jena worked. The mosaics of the living rooms were to be seen, the structure also. Apparently they wanted to make the place accessible. Now (2019) the place can only be reached via a rocky driveway and in a catastrophic state. The built toilet (?) Devastated to see nothing of the mosaics and the walls overgrown. The location for a villa with management by fish processing is clearly visible and it would have been worthwhile to reward the excavation with an exhibition and a driveway. Instead, decay.

Scheinbar wollte man den Ort zugänglich machen. Jetzt (2019) ist der Ort nur über eine steinigen Zufahrt zu erreichen und in einem katastrophalen Zustand. Die errichtete Toilette (?) verwüstet, von den Mosaiken nichts mehr zu sehen und die Mauern überwuchert. Dabei ist die günstige Lage für eine Villa mit Bewirtschaftung durch Fischverarbeitung deutlich zu erkennen und es hätte sich sicher gelohnt die Ausgrabung mit einer Ausstellung und einer Zufahrt zu belohnen. Stattdessen Verfall.

Great place to visit. To see this tranquil place and great Roman villa

Realy bad Road, and then there ist more or less nothing

Tucked away gem of a place with interesting ruins

Don’t bother to visit, waste of time.

(Translated by Google) The ruins themselves would not be wonderful, but the state they are in, the surrounding area, the lack of care, the fact that we have to "invade" private property (although the farm appears to be abandoned) all of this makes it a big disappointment. (Original) Já por si a ruínas não seriam maravilhosas, mas o estado em que estão, a zona envolvente, a falta de cuidado, o facto de termos de "invadir"propriedade privada (embora a quinta pareça estar abandonada) tudo isto faz com que seja uma grande decepção.

A little rough to get through depending on route. Very dry hard packed trail. Also this is in amongst an old cattle farm ruin.

Hard to get to. Farm is private land and not fully abandoned. Site is fenced off though quite visible.
