Villa Le Corti, Renaissance villa in San Casciano in Val di Pesa, Italy.

Villa Le Corti is a Renaissance structure with rectangular design, two corner towers at the front, and period windows that mark its architectural character. Underground, the property contains three levels of cellars used for Chianti Classico wine production and storage of olive oil from the surrounding farm.

The site started as a fortified tower documented in Florence records around 1427 and underwent major transformation later. Between 1550 and 1600, architect Santi di Tito redesigned it into the Renaissance villa visible today.

The dining room, the Sala delle Donne, is named for the coats of arms of noblewomen who married into the Corsini family, painted by Gaetano Bianchi in the late 19th century, with each shield paired to a portrait of her husband. The adjoining Sala dei Titoli has vaults showing the family's principal enterprises, and the ballroom holds a marble bust of Pope Clement XII, a Corsini.

The villa stands on Via San Piero di Sotto 1 in San Casciano in Val di Pesa, in the Chianti Classico hills south of Florence. The gardens restored with PNRR Cultura funds opened to the public in 2025. Upper-floor rooms and the family chapel inside the villa are private and cannot be visited.

The grounds hold a 14th-century tabernacle decorated with frescoes that speaks to the medieval roots of the property. Regular wine tastings and gardening exhibitions allow visitors to connect with the farming traditions that continue at the estate.
