Hidden behind the new buildings of Benitses, the easiest way to access what remains of the structure is to find the Captain Octopus restaurant and ask them for the wat, There is a tiny sign viable on the post at the side of the restaurant.
The villa with a bath is located within the Kapsokavvadi estate, and you can make out the large hall and entrance from the north. It lies in ruins now and only partly remains. Sadly the main structure is all but disappeared.
It is written that The thick walls are built of equal-sized bricks and plaster, in some places with irregular stones, while at the bottom there are remains of orthomarbling, which is technic that allows the polishing of crystalline limestone. At the 4 corners and in the middle of the 4 walls there are clay pipes.
The floor is said to haves a beautiful colorful mosaic with geometric ornaments, although we can not say this is now visible due to lack of maintenance. A rectangular opening communicates with the basement known as a hypocaust, which is an open space below a floor that is heated by gases from a fire or furnace below and that allows the passage of hot air to heat the room above, very common type of construction for the Romans and widely used. The whole space has a central space is surrounded by an arched corridor, which is still visible today
