    The museum's strong point is its meticulous reconstruction, which includes fully furnished rooms, a functioning Roman bath complex, and beautiful gardens. Visitors appreciate the attention to detail in the recreated interiors, giving a realistic impression of how wealthy Romans might have lived.

    The surrounding gardens and vineyards contribute to the overall atmosphere, providing a pleasant environment for visitors to explore. Some guests mention enjoying Roman-inspired meals at the on-site tavern, adding to the immersive experience.
