Villa Chigi Farnese alle Volte Alte, Renaissance villa in Siena, Italy.

The villa features two main floors with an attic space, positioned on a hill west of Costalpino along the route to Montagnola.

Construction of Villa Volte Alte began between 1490 and 1505 under Mariano Chigi's commission, with architect Baldassarre Peruzzi leading the design process.

The architectural structure includes the main residence, Church of San Bartolomeo, a fish pond with theater space, farm buildings, and functional stables.

The villa stands at Strada delle Volte Alte 10, managed by the Superintendence for Archaeology, Fine Arts, and Landscape of Siena, Grosseto, and Arezzo provinces.

Pope Julius II visited the villa between 1510 and 1511, commemorated by an inscription in one of the portico's vaulted rooms.
