A Roman farm, as it was
Villa Regina is a small villa rustica, a working farm buried by the eruption of 79 AD. Around an open courtyard you see the rooms of the farm and the wine cellar with 18 large dolia, the terracotta jars where the wine was kept. A vineyard has been replanted where the Roman one stood.
It is far from the crowds of Pompeii: you can often visit it almost alone.
The Antiquarium
Next to the villa, the Antiquarium of Boscoreale tells how people lived and worked in the countryside around Vesuvius in Roman times. Since its reopening in 2023 it also has a room on the recent excavations at Civita Giuliana, with the ceremonial chariot found there.

Villa Regina and the Antiquarium are included in the Pompeii+ ticket (25 €), together with the ancient city and the suburban villas. With the same ticket you can use the Artebus shuttle that leaves from Piazza Esedra in Pompeii; check its timetable on the Park website.
