Villa Celsa, Renaissance villa in Sovicille, Italy

Villa Celsa features a terraced wall with aligned niches along the entrance pathway and a circular chapel designed by Baldassare Peruzzi.

Originally built as a fortress in the 13th century, the structure was transformed into a country residence during the 16th century by the Celsi family.

Female inheritance has marked the property's lineage since 1612, passing through the de Vecchi, Antinori, and Aldobrandini families of Italian nobility.

The villa includes the Limonaia accommodation space for ten guests and multiple event venues, including a courtyard and barn for 180 people.

The castle underwent reconstruction after destruction by Charles V's imperial troops, leading to its current form with elevated east tower and battlements.

Location: Sovicille
