5/5 Danielle C. 1 year ago on Google
I
was
confused
about
what
this
was
exactly
based
on
the
Google
Maps
location
information
and
reviews;
I
figured
it
was
a
ruin
of
a
Roman
villa
and
winery,
but
there
were
opening
hours
and
a
type
of
building
that
most
ruins
don’t
have.
Indeed,
it
is
“JUST”
a
ruined
Roman
villa
and
winery,
though
there
is
a
closeby
winery,
which
seem
to
be
a
separate
establishment
from
the
ruin.
That
building
is
a
covered/enclosed
part
of
the
ruin
that
that
is
inaccessible
for
entry
unless
you
have
a
guided
tour
(though
you
can
see
inside
pretty
well),
but
the
outdoor
section
is
freely
accessible
24/7.
I
came
here
today
on
this
hot
August
Monday
afternoon
with
my
three
kids
ages
6,
4,
and
2
years.
We
parked
at
the
lot
about
100
meters
south
of
the
ruin
-
it
can
be
seen
on
Google
Maps
via
satellite
view,
but
there
is
no
Google
Maps
location
there
(though
I
did
request
the
addition
of
one).
The
lot
is
large
but
very
sunny
with
little
shade.
There
was
a
paved
path
leading
up
a
slight
incline
to
the
ruin;
a
stroller
would
have
been
fine
but
the
walk
is
quite
short,
and
my
three
kids
did
it
in
about
15
minutes
(I'm
sure
less
than
5
minutes
for
many
adults).
Once
at
the
ruin,
there
are
stairs
you
can
climb
but
I
think
you
can
see
most
of
it
without,
though
the
stairs
and
halls
through
the
ruined
foundations
are
quite
fun
to
navigate
through,
and
there
are
informational
signs
hidden
throughout
the
ruin.
There
are
tons
of
diagrams
showing
what
things
looked
like
back
then,
and
lots
of
information
only
in
German
(I
haven't
yet
had
a
chance
to
translate
them,
which
is
hard
to
do
on
the
spot
with
three
small
kids).
The
area
is
quite
sunny
but
has
some
shaded
spots.
An
unexpected,
very
interesting
find
were
the
coffins
with
a
listing
of
the
bodies
and
accessories
found
in
them.
You
could
look
into
the
inside
and
see
most
of
it,
if
not
read
the
signs
on
the
walls
-
it
looks
like
it
is
meant
to
show
what
the
interior
of
the
villa
might
have
looked
like.
There
was
not
much
in
the
way
of
seats
in
terms
of
benches
or
picnic
tables,
but
plenty
of
rock
walls
and
stones
to
sit
on.
We
spent
about
30
minutes
there
(including
having
a
snack
that
we
brought
with
us)
before
moving
on
to
the
Romankelter,
which
was
the
Roman
winepress
maybe
100-200
meters
along
the
path
(I
don't
remember
if
signs
pointed
to
it,
as
we
used
Google
Maps,
but
it
was
just
had
to
go
down
through
the
grapevines
one
section
and
make
a
right
and
there
it
was).
There
is
an
enclosed
building
there
that
you
can
look
into
to
read
the
signs
and
see
some
artifacts.
That
was
a
very
short
visit,
about
5-10
minutes,
though
I
didn't
take
the
time
to
translate
all
of
the
signs.
Again,
plenty
of
rocks
to
sit
on
to
rest
or
picnic.
We
had
the
fun
opportunity
to
see
some
alpacas
being
led
along
the
path
as
we
went
back
to
our
car.
Overall
it
was
about
a
1
hour
visit
for
both
together,
including
having
snacks
and
walking;
it
may
be
shorter
for
people
who
walk
faster
than
my
kids
or
maybe
longer
if
you
take
the
time
to
read
all
of
the
signs.
I
highly
recommend
visiting
this
place
if
you
are
close
to
the
area
-
I'd
drive
up
to
an
hour
for
this
as
it
was
beautiful,
informative,
and
fun
to
explore.
Or
drive
farther
and
make
a
day
out
of
it
visiting
nearby
wineries!
There
is
also
another
Villa
Rustica
about
15
minutes
north
that
may
make
a
good
addition
to
the
day,
though
I
haven't
been
there
myself
yet.
