La Suvera’s origins stretch back to the 12th century, when it served as a fortified stronghold. Its defining metamorphosis came during the Renaissance, when Pope Julius II and the architect Baldassare Peruzzi transformed it into an opulent villa – a place meant to embody the grace, intellect and artistic ambition of its era. The estate’s eclectic interiors, sculpted gardens, and small consecrated church still speak to that past; nothing here feels generic or invented. It’s a property with personality, one of those places that reminds you why Italy remains endlessly compelling.
