Check out this incredible 16th century estate once owned by Caroline Bonaparte—Napoleon’s sister and Queen of Naples that is listed by Coldwell Banker! 🤩🤩🤩

Just outside Lucca, in the quiet hills of Capannori, stands one of Tuscany’s most historically rich estates. First built in the 16th century, the villa was transformed in the 1700s by silk merchant Coriolano Orsucci into a stately country residence. The Baroque entrance, designed by Filippo Juvarra, still frames the walled garden. Inside, a 125-square-meter grand salon features stuccoes by Sebastiano Puccini and two monumental canvases attributed to Pier Dandini—likely brought by Caroline herself.

The estate includes a guest villa, restored limonaia, private 18th-century chapel, stables, a 1,150 sq m farmhouse, and two swimming pools—all set across 6 hectares. With over 45,000 square feet of space and 20 bedrooms, it remains a rare cultural artifact in the Italian property market.
This is a villa for those who understand provenance, preservation and place.

For the fourth consecutive year, the Coldwell Banker Global Luxury® program returns with The Trend Report 2026.

Drawing on insights from leading authorities including the Institute for Luxury Home Marketing, Altrata, McKinsey & Company, and JamesEdition, The Trend Report 2026 offers a rare, global perspective on how wealth, lifestyle, and real estate are intersecting at the highest levels.

This award-winning, comprehensive, data-driven look at luxury real estate explores the deeper forces influencing decisions this year—from financial and generational considerations to geographic mobility and lifestyle factors. At a time when much of the broader housing conversation is focused on uncertainty, this report also tells a more nuanced story about luxury real estate. The high-end sector continues to demonstrate resilience, adaptability, and long-term strength, operating by a different set of dynamics than the traditional market.

Among the themes explored:
Why resilience has become the new benchmark for luxury markets—and how capital continues to flow into high-end real estate even amid global volatility
How affluent buyers are reframing real estate as a legacy asset tied to identity, stability, and long-term wealth preservation
Why the U.S. remains central to global real estate investment as wealth creation spreads across new regions and industries
Which markets are emerging as the new class of resilient luxury hubs
How the largest intergenerational wealth transfer in history is expected to reshape buyer behavior, inventory, and long-term ownership patterns
Why the home is becoming a primary focus of luxury spending, as “nest investing” accelerates demand for personalization, wellness, and long-term livability
What today’s luxury buyers really want, from larger homes, turnkey condition and architectural quality to privacy, outdoor living, and modern design
