Property Summary
Nestled on a gentle hill adorned with poplar and olive trees in the heart of Tuscany, Villa Gino is an exceptional vacation rental that offers breathtaking panoramic views stretching from the hills of Castel Fiorentino to the tower of San Miniato. Located in the scenic countryside near Empoli, Italy, this elegantly restored two-storey villa seamlessly blends traditional Tuscan craftsmanship with refined modern comforts, making it an ideal retreat for those seeking both beauty and convenience. The property has been tastefully brought back to life by its owner, who preserved the finest architectural details of the Tuscan tradition, including ceilings with wooden beams and terracotta tiles, terracotta flooring on the ground floor, wooden flooring on the first floor, and a sandstone fireplace that adds warmth and character to the interior spaces. Guests benefit from complimentary Wi-Fi throughout the property, ensuring seamless connectivity during their stay. A private parking area is conveniently located close to the main entrance, accessible via an automatic entrance gate and a charming gravel driveway decorated with roses.

Outdoors
The outdoor spaces of Villa Gino are nothing short of extraordinary, offering a rich tapestry of natural beauty and carefully curated garden features that invite relaxation and exploration in equal measure. The expansive garden is a celebration of colour and fragrance, with beds of flowers, Mediterranean herb bushes, centuries-old olive trees from Spain and Apulia, and majestic cypresses creating a lush and ever-changing landscape. Particular corners of the garden have been thoughtfully designed to offer unique experiences: an antique well surrounded by the Mediterranean scent of rosemary sits beside a dedicated relaxation area, while a Renaissance terracotta fountain adds a touch of timeless elegance. A belvedere provides the perfect vantage point from which to admire the sunset while enveloped in the perfume of roses, and the beautifully maintained lawn invites guests to walk barefoot among a profusion of multicoloured flowering trees and medicinal plants. The non-heated swimming pool is a centrepiece of the outdoor area, measuring 5 x 10 metres with a constant depth of 1.40 metres. Rectangular in shape with Roman steps set in a recessed corner, it features a travertine edge, blue Sardinia PVC lining, salt purification, internal lighting, and non-invasive external fencing.

On the south side of the villa, a shady and spacious portico communicates directly with the kitchen and is furnished with elegant teak furniture and a built-in barbecue, making it the perfect setting for convivial outdoor dining. Guests are kindly informed that photographs of the property were taken in spring, and therefore the blossoming of flowers and the colour of the garden grass may differ at the time of arrival.
