The Villa's website displays a prominent note saying that the main mosaics are not available for viewing until 2012.
We have visited this site and found it fascinating - well worth a visit even if the mosaics are not accessible. In addition to the villa itself, the area offers wonderful walking opportunities in the nearby woods.
Now I want to go back just to see the snails!
