means A large, often luxurious country or suburban house, typically with extensive grounds.

from From Latin 'villa,' a country estate or farmhouse — the rural counterpart to the urban 'domus.' For wealthy Romans, the villa was the place you escaped to, all vineyards and colonnades. The word spread its tendrils far: it's the same root that gives us 'village' (a cluster of farm dwellings), 'villager,' and even, by a long social descent, 'villain' — originally just a 'villanus,' a farmhand tied to the villa, before the word climbed down into scoundrel territory.
