This enchanting villa is situated in the understated and under-appreciated Tuscan town of Empoli. While it's not far from the heart of the town, you'd never believe it, given the cypress-lined drive that leads up to its stunning neoclassical facade. Stark white dominates all areas of this home, leaving it gleaming under the glorious summer sun. Inside, relax beneath soaring moulded ceilings and enjoy the cool marble floors underfoot as you wander from room to room. Perhaps the most impressive aspect of all is the main bedroom, with its private sitting room, dressing room and gorgeous bathroom with pool views from the unique round tub, plus a dazzling terrace for exclusive use. For those who appreciate their privacy, the en-suite attic room can be completely cordoned off. It even has its own kitchen, living room and fully furnished pocket terrace. Meanwhile, the basement offers a relaxing wellness area at the bottom of the house and leads out to the inviting pool and adjacent outdoor dining area. Step out onto the streets and you're just a ten-minute walk from the centre of town. It's well worth paying a visit to the fascinating Museum of Glass one afternoon before stopping off at Piazza della Vittoria for an aperitivo. If you're feeling adventurous, renowned restaurant Trippéria serves up lampredotto, a traditional dish made from the fourth and final stomach of a cow. Meanwhile, if you feel like exploring further afield, the stunning cities of Pisa and Florence are both a little over half an hour away.
