What is the name of the villa that becomes Ezio Auditore’s base in Assassin’s Creed II?

Villa Auditore is the villa that becomes Ezio Auditore’s base in Assassin’s Creed II.

The villa is located in Monteriggioni, a fortified Tuscan settlement controlled by the Auditore family. After Ezio leaves Florence, his uncle Mario brings him there and introduces him to the family’s hidden Assassin legacy. The building and surrounding town then become a strategic headquarters for Ezio’s campaign.

Players can renovate Monteriggioni by investing in shops, services, defenses, and other improvements. These upgrades increase the settlement’s income, turning the villa into more than a story location. The game uses this economic system to connect exploration with long-term progression.

A common mix-up is calling the base simply Monteriggioni, which is the town rather than the villa itself. The villa’s name is Villa Auditore, while Villa Medici is a different historical name associated with Italian Renaissance architecture. Ezio returns to the location in later portions of the series.
