This elegant home in Empoli offers luxurious living in a fabulous location. The town is a lesser-known Tuscan gem and around forty minutes by car or train from Florence, so you’ll love exploring the local area. Set in expansive gardens, the house is a refined retreat that’s full of character. It has a pool that can be covered and heated in cooler weather, along with a sauna, hammam, and gym – providing the perks of a boutique hotel in your own private sanctuary. The only downside? You might never want to leave.
