Villa Paolina, Renaissance villa in Compignano, Italy.

Villa Paolina sits at the top of a hill, featuring a horseshoe-shaped structure with a grand entrance adorned by eight marble statues and terracotta urns.

The villa became the residence of Napoleon Bonaparte's sister Paolina from 1822 to 1826, adding a significant connection to European imperial history.

The property maintains a collection of formal Italian gardens, including one of the oldest camellia groves in the Lucca region.

The estate contains four separate buildings totaling 1,500 square meters of living space, complemented by a 43-meter swimming pool and multiple entertainment areas.

The property includes a converted limonaia, traditional greenhouse, and nine hectares of parkland designed in the Romantic style with ancient oaks and cedars.
