The space features a private terrace complete with outdoor seating overlooking the city’s rooftops.
The park:
An oasis of relaxation in Empoli.
The park, a 1,800-square-meter area surrounding the villa, is a natural wonder, adorned with imposing centuries-old trees that mark its perimeter. At the heart of this lush green setting lies a large, well-manicured lawn, which serves as the backdrop to a swimming pool that blends seamlessly into the villa.
Swimming Pool with a Refined Design
The swimming pool, framed by elegant marble paving, is lined with stunning mother-of-pearl tiles that reflect the sun’s rays, creating evocative plays of light. An exclusive whirlpool area with circular seats invites you to relax, while modern features such as the counter-current swimming system and integrated lighting add a touch of luxury and functionality. Rounding out this wellness retreat is a decorative wall featuring water features and waterfalls, next to which is an outdoor shower for cooling off.
Around the pool, lounge chairs are arranged both on the lawn and on the paved area, offering guests numerous spots to relax surrounded by greenery. The pool is also equipped with a retractable cover that connects it directly to the villa, as well as a heating system for both the air and the water, allowing guests to enjoy this space even during the winter months. This perfect blend of elegance and comfort transforms the garden into a luxurious and tranquil retreat just a few kilometers from Florence, enjoyable year-round.
Multifunctional Veranda
Adding further value to the property is the “pool area,” which benefits from a splendid veranda located directly in front of it. This veranda is a particularly charming feature, as it can be completely enclosed thanks to the new, large glass panels that extend along the entire perimeter. These windows, crafted with meticulous attention to detail and designed to blend seamlessly with the tunnel covering the pool, allow this space to be transformed into a natural extension of the home, creating an additional area of approximately 180 square meters. This space is extremely versatile: depending on your needs and preferences, it can be used as a comfortable outdoor extension, perfectly integrated with the surrounding environment, or as a completely enclosed space, ideal for use throughout all seasons of the year, both in summer and winter.
In addition to having a direct connection to the villa’s basement, the veranda also offers the possibility of creating a true wellness area. This is made possible both by the heating system, which maintains the ideal temperature for the space and the pool water, and by the layout designed to accommodate wellness facilities. Inside, the veranda is elegantly furnished with a long dining table—perfect for hosting convivial dinners—surrounded by comfortable armchairs. In addition, the relaxation area—featuring a spacious corner sofa—invites you to rest and unwind, enhanced by outdoor Wi-Fi coverage and an audio system that lets you listen to music at any time. Thanks to these details, the veranda serves as a multifunctional space that further enhances the home-living experience, combining comfort, elegance, and the opportunity to enjoy a wellness environment in all seasons
