Villa Romana dei Nonii Arrii: a journey through Roman Toscolano on Lake Garda
Discover the Villa Romana dei Nonii Arrii in Toscolano Maderno on Lake Garda with a practical guide: find out what to see, from geometric mosaics and frescoes to the lakeside loggia and the temple remains. Includes Infopoint address and contacts, plus updated opening hours from 15 August 2026 to help you plan your day.
The Villa Romana dei Nonii Arrii is the right spot if you’re looking for a real taste of Roman Toscolano Maderno on Lake Garda: a residence built in the 1st century AD, expanded in the first half of the 2nd century AD, with rooms that preserve geometric mosaics and traces of decoration. To plan your visit, the most useful thing to keep in mind is the Infopoint opening hours published from 15 August 2026, as they affect when you can get in and ask for information on site.
When it comes to archaeology in Toscolano Maderno, this villa stands out for a simple reason: it is a large Roman residential complex, with an estimated area of over 15,000 m². Tradition likely connects it to Marcus Nonius Macrinus, consul in 154 and proconsul of Asia in 170–171: a detail that helps put a face to the story behind the place, making your visit more than a pure history lesson.
As part of a Lake Garda holiday, the Villa Romana dei Nonii Arrii makes for an ideal cultural stop to pair with lighter moments. If you are staying at Camping Toscolano, your day remains flexible: you can alternate a visit to the site with time back at the property for a dip in the swimming pool (note that no lifeguard service is available) or head down to the beach with direct lake access, both useful options for breaking up your day.
The visit gets more interesting when you know what to look for. Highlights include a monumental loggia overlooking the lake, rooms decorated with geometric mosaics, and frescoes imitating marble: features that capture the sense of a residence designed to showcase both taste and stature, not just to be lived in.
Another key element is the set of transformations in the first half of the 2nd century AD, showing how the area evolved and adapted over time. The story of the site also includes remains of two temples dedicated to Jupiter and Bacchus: a useful detail to understand the historical layers and see how residential and religious spaces coexisted here.
If you’re planning a day with multiple stops, the villa lends itself well to a “mix and match” itinerary: first culture, then the lake. At Camping Toscolano the direct access to the beach comes in handy for this, as relaxation time doesn’t require extra travel once you’re back.
For on-site information, your go-to resource is the Infopoint at the Villa Romana. The listed address is Piazza SS. Maria del Benaco, 25088 Toscolano Maderno. The contacts are tel. +39 0365 515783 and infopoint@comune.toscolanomaderno.bs.it. Saving these details is a smart move if you want to check schedules, opening times, or details about your visit before arriving.

If you’re staying at Camping Toscolano, this kind of visit works well as a half-day trip, especially if you want to make time for the rest: pool, lake, and a slower pace. If you’re planning a multi-stop itinerary, the main reference remains the same: the Infopoint opening hours.
The opening hours published for the Villa Romana Infopoint (from 15 August 2026) are as follows:
These time slots help you plan your day: the 10:00–13:00 window is convenient before lunch, while 16:00–19:00 works if you’d rather save the visit for the afternoon. Either way, the Infopoint is your reference for checking all the details that can really shape your visit.
If you want to alternate culture and water, once you’re back at Camping Toscolano you have two immediate options: the beach with direct access or the main pool with sun terrace next to the children’s pool (keeping in mind there is no lifeguard). To finalise your plan and avoid unnecessary steps, it’s worth double-checking the latest hours on the official links and then looking up availability for your stay on our campsite’s website: official Camping Toscolano page.
During your visit, you’ll spot rooms with geometric mosaics and decorative traces, a monumental loggia facing Lake Garda, and marble-style frescoes that illustrate the villa’s refined style.
From 15 August 2026, the Infopoint is open on Fridays and holidays from 16:00–19:00; on Saturday, Sunday and Monday from 10:00–13:00 and 16:00–19:00. Check the official channels for any updates.
