The villa, mentioned in a document dated 949 AD, belonged to the Bartolommei family in the 19th century. The poet Angelica Palli lived there and hosted the exiled Charles Louis Napoleon Bonaparte, who later became President of the Republic and Emperor of the French with the title of Napoleon III. During the Second World War the complex was occupied by allied troops who made some caricatures of the main characters of the time, still visible today.
The parish church of Sant'Andrea di Limone was located in Limone, in the municipality of Livorno.
The parish church, suppressed in 1277, was incorporated into a villa (the villa of Limone) where a small chapel dedicated to Saints Peter and Paul is still visible, testifying to its ancient existence. In 1796 the oratory was visited by the Archbishop of Pisa. The historian Giuseppe Piombanti, in 1903, attests the presence of a plaque in latin which reads: "Vetus sacellum Deo O. M. et Petro et Paulo ap. dicatum, Joan. Adulphus Romanovicius restauravit, ornavit, et sacrario auxit. An. 1829".
