Like the other Roman villas on the coast, the one owned by Pollius had its private landing place, the fish tanks for providing the banquets with fresh fish and a nymphaeum, here placed in a small cove connected to open sea by a cleft in the cliff. This cove is named "Bagni della Regina Giovanna" (Baths of Queen Joanna) because the popular tradition says that here came often the Angevin queen (who ruled Naples in the years around 1300) to take a bath far from indiscreet eyes.

The villa extended also inland with several pavilions spread in the gardens and having each a different function: reception rooms, patronal and guests lodgings, thermal baths, servant lodgings, the farms to produce oil and wine, the kitchens, nymphaeums. From these buildings it does not remain anything: the only remains are right on the cape, where there were probably the premises for first acceptance and the warehouses for provisions coming via the sea.

The villa by Pollius Felix is famous since it was singed by the Latin poet Statius in the Silvae, where he celebrated its beauty and boasted of being a friend of its powerful owner. From the promontory it starts a long passage on piles over the rocks which lead to the opposite edge of Capo di Sorrento, looking at the bay of Puolo, in the territory of Massa Lubrense. From these rocks it is possible to take a bath in crystalline water, but advisable only to whom has a good mastery of swimming, both for the deep waters and for the strong currents runing around the cape.
