Rich people in ancient Rome often had two or more homes. The home in the town was called domus. They could also have a villa urbana, which was a larger house used for rest stays in locations which were easy to reach from Rome. Some of them were in the area around Rome and some were on seaside towns north of Naples or on the Bay of Naples. This area was popular for vacation resorts for the rich. Rich people who were landowners also had a villa rustica. This was the landowning family's residence in the farmstead of its landed estate.

Yes, it is true, especially in the case of the landowning patrician aristocracy. The villa in the country (villa rustica) was often the farmstead of their large landed estate (latifundium). There were rich people (not necessarily patricians) who had holiday villas on the seaside or near the sea, especially in Campania, the region around Naples - Pompeii has many surviving examples of this.
