''Villa Domizia,'' also known as ''Villa Domitia'' was built probably in the 1st or 2nd century by the Gnaeus Domitius Ahenobarbus who was the owner of the island. The Villa is placed in the central part of the island on a height, close to Punta Scaletta and Cala Maestra; the Villa and its annexes are under the control of Italy’s [[Ministry of Cultural Heritage and Activities and Tourism (Italy)|Ministry of Cultural Heritage]].<ref>{{Cite news |title=Roman Villa Reopens on Wild Tuscan Island : DNews |url=http://news.discovery.com/history/roman-villa-reopens-on-wild-tuscan-island-150701.htm |access-date=2015-07-02 |archive-date=October 27, 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151027084951/http://news.discovery.com/history/roman-villa-reopens-on-wild-tuscan-island-150701.htm}}</ref>
The rooms employed as residence and the others were disposed  on the highest level accessible by stairs; on the same level was a terrace from which to watch the [[Monte Argentario|Argentario]] coast. In the back of the residential quarter are the remains of a long building, with 8 rooms aligned, likely used by the monks as [[convent]] and since then called ''Conventaccio''.

The Villa is connected to ''Cala Maestra'' through a set of stairs. The [[Calidarium]], formed by a rectangular room from whose walls passed the warm air, was placed halfway between the Villa and ''Cala Maestra'' and was richly adorned with marbles and [[mosaic]] floor. The Romans built a small harbour and a wharf at ''Cala Maestra'' cutting the rock in order to have more space. The Villa was provided with a [[cistern]] to collect the rain water since the island is lack of [[spring (hydrology)|springs]]; the water produced today by a [[desalination]] plant is collected in the same cistern.<ref>{{cite web |title=La villa romana di Giannutri |url=http://www.capodomo.it/Paese/Giannutri.htm |website=Capodomo.it |access-date=26 May 2021}}</ref> In the 1980s a short, grassy airstrip was built and used for a short time at ''Punta San Francesco'', later was abandoned.
