Excavations were carried out in various points of the villa, both open-area and deeper trenches to investigate the earliest phases of the complex.

The exploration of a part of the south-eastern sector, the only part still partially unknown, confirmed the existence of a large courtyard. At first, the courtyard was carefully paved with cobblestones, and later had an earth floor. It was bordered to the east by a perimeter wall that was oblique to the rest of the main structures of the villa.

The sewer system, partially identified in 2014, was explored further: a main channel, over 40 m long, crossed the body of the villa on a north-south alignment. The secondary, smaller drains, for the moment only seen on the west side of the complex were orthogonal to the main channel and were more or less rectilinear.
At various distances (in one case coinciding with the confluence of a secondary channel), the main sewer pipe was seen to be covered by tiles and large stone slabs, interpretable as inspection covers, were also documented.

Some work also took place in the small courtyard in the southern sector, already interpreted as a mansio inside the villa. Careful cleaning of several patches of flooring and the exploration of a number of lacunae identified earlier interventions preceding the refined floor made of crushed white stone, decorated at the edges by borders of grey mosaic tesserae. Similarly, in the south-east corner a large hole in the paving was seen to have been roughly repaired.
Lastly, in the area between the large western courtyard and the southern one, investigations renewed of a buried channel made with counter-positioned imbrices: the already known north-south segment, was seen to have been fed by a second segment coming in at a right angle from the east. This channel was replaced in the final phases of the villa by a new channel, on a similar line, but at higher level.
