Initially built in the eighteenth century, this exquisitely renovated manor house provides an elegant escape in the Tuscan countryside. From the outset, it impresses with its pearly white facade, adorned with splendid towers and green shuttered windows and surrounded by lush, landscaped gardens. Here, you're fifty minutes from the storied city of Florence by car and even closer to the small town of Empoli, just a seven-minute drive away. You'll feel like royalty as soon as you step through the front door. The interior exudes neoclassical romance, cloaked in rich, warm tones, and the building's history is apparent at every turn. We love the period features, from the high ceilings adorned with timber beams to the marble columns and majestic fireplaces. However, the real gem of this home is the outdoor space. Two acres of private gardens boast a small lake, a playground for the little ones and a glistening swimming pool, the perfect place to cool off in the Tuscan sun.

About San Miniato
Halfway between Pisa and Florence, San Miniato is one of the most beautiful towns in Tuscany, and that’s saying something. It’s perched atop three hills overlooking the Arno valley, and the panoramas of the Tuscan hills live up to all expectations. The town centre is full of well-preserved medieval buildings, and has a particular concentration of churches – we’re particular fans of the Chiesa del Santissimo Crocifisso. Every November, San...
