Arethusa.net

According to Mary Beard's book "Pompeii", there is a site called arethusa.net where you can book a times entrance for house in Pompeii that are normally close, and they'll open the house for you. I'm going to Pompeii soon and was excited to try this, but it seems the website no longer exists. Has it just moved somewhere else, or is it no longer possible to enter closed housed like this? It seemed really fun and interesting!

Thanks!

It looks like the site has been gone for at least a decade now. I did a little Googling and from what I read at Trip Advisor, it is no longer possible to enter a closed house in Pompeii.

Hope this helps,
