Arriving along a cypress avenue to a neoclassical villa in the heart of Empoli, you'd be forgiven for thinking you'd stepped into another century. The early 1900s architecture holds up beautifully – marble interiors, original detailing, and a grand staircase that connects four floors with quiet ceremony. Outside, sweeping parkland wraps the villa in seclusion, while the heated pool and glazed veranda mean long afternoons whatever the weather. A basement wellness area with a Turkish bath adds downtime potential. Piazza Farinata degli Uberti, with its classic Tuscan street life, is a twelve-minute walk away.

Home truths
For those with reduced mobility, there's a ground floor bedroom and bathroom here.
The attic is a completely self-contained space with its own kitchen, living area, bedroom, and bathroom – well suited to guests who want a degree of independence, or for a group travelling together who'd like some separation between floors.

About San Miniato
Halfway between Pisa and Florence, San Miniato is one of the most beautiful towns in Tuscany, and that’s saying something.
