The seaside villa of San Limato, whose surviving structures are partly incorporated into an 18th-century farmhouse, represents a luxurious example of suburban residential architecture of Sinuessa. Most of the rooms uncovered there are part of the thermal complex. The villa has two sections separated by a corridor: in the southern section, there are several rooms with mosaic and marble slab floors; in the northern part are the thermal rooms, with the frigidarium for cold water baths, characterized by a black and white mosaic floor depicting marine animals; to the south of this area are the heated rooms, the tepidarium, and the calidarium (for warm and hot water baths). The villa testifies to the dense occupation of northern Campania by the Romans from the 3rd century BC until the end of the Imperial age.
