The seaside villa of San Limato, whose surviving structures are partly incorporated in an eighteenth-century farmhouse, is a luxurious example of suburban residential building in Sinuessa.
The majority of the rooms brought to light here are relevant to the spa facility. The villa has two sectors separated by a corridor: in the southern one there are some rooms with mosaic floor coverings and marble slabs; in the northern one there are the thermal rooms, with the frigidarium for cold water baths, characterized by a black and white mosaic flooring depicting marine animals; to the south of this room there are the heated rooms, the tepidarium and the calidarium (for warm and hot water baths).
The villa bears witness to the dense occupation of northern Campania by the Romans from the third century B.C. until the end of the Imperial Age.
