Even in a region famed for breathtaking scenery and incredible architecture, this spectacular Renaissance-era Castello makes a genuinely outstanding base for your luxurious break in Tuscany. Situated just to the north of Empoli, the elegant, eight-bedroomed Villa Perelisa welcomes up to sixteen guests for an unforgettable experience in the hills of the Tuscan countryside.
In the main villa, there are four bedrooms, two of which can be converted into twin beds, and three with ensuite bathrooms. For the kids, there is a bedroom with twin bunk beds and a shared bathroom. Beautifully made furniture is eye-catching for the minimalist décor, with designer light fixtures suspended from expertly maintained, vaulted timber ceilings. Designer sofas, rugs and a sunlit dining table sit atop superior-quality tiled floors in a spacious living area that spans three distinct zones in this brilliantly configured, fully renovated home.
With air conditioning for comfort during the glorious Tuscan summer and stunning fireplaces and heating to maintain a warm ambience the rest of the year, Villa Perelisa stylishly blends modern living with Renaissance-inspired design.
Manicured lawns and mature trees graciously give way to this majestic example of architecture, synonymous with a region steeped in artistic culture. Equally ornate stone steps to the villa's side draw the eye to a charming annexe at its rear. This super-stylish addition to the main villa features three fantastic bedrooms, two bathrooms and a fully equipped kitchen.
Across the expertly maintained garden to the rear of the villa is the idyllic poolside terrace adorned with sun loungers and luxurious seating. At its centre, a ten-metre pool awaits, with submerged lighting inviting you in as convincingly under the moonlight as beneath the glorious Tuscan sunshine.
The sophisticated town of Empoli is just a short ten-minute drive away, with Vinci also close by. You'll find all the provisions required for your stay at Villa Perelisa in Empoli, with plenty of other treats. Pick up some local meats, vegetables and olive oil, browse the boutiques and stop for a delicious gelato while watching the world go by at the Piazza della Vittoria.

Location
About the surrounding area of Villa PerelisaIn contrast to many town centres around Tuscany, Empoli's flat streets make for a leisurely passeggiata after dining at one of its fabulous eateries, which is just as well, given the splendid produce available in this rich agricultural area! As well as regional staples of grapes and olives, Empoli is famed for its sweet red Certaldo onions, Carciofi artichokes, fresh bread from Montaione and San Miniato's exquisite white truffles – accounting for a quarter of Italy's annual crop.
Shoppers will have other attractions on their minds, with fabulous boutiques and the Centro Empoli offering a wide range of options for a holiday treat. You'll also find a wealth of galleries and museums in Empoli, close to the birthplace of legendary painter Leonardo da Vinci.
Also reachable in ten minutes is Vinci, where you'll have the chance to visit the Museo Leonardiano, housed in a former Guidi castle and dedicated to the inventive genius of Leonardo. Da Vinci's first home is near Anchiano. Museo Ideale in the north of Vinci offers insights into Da Vinci's passion for viticulture, with the chance to pick up fabulous wines inspired by the great man himself.
Wine lovers flock to Tuscany each year and with good reason. The region's limestone soils and perfectly balanced climate provide the perfect canvas for centuries of wine-making heritage. Aside from the obvious pleasure of enjoying a glass or two with dinner, there are numerous ways to explore a viticulture that delivers some of the world's finest labels. Take an e-bike tour around vineyards, step into vast cellars housing the region's finest offerings, or take a cooking class and learn the intricacies of pairing Tuscan food and wine. You can even book tours of rural wineries with transportation provided – so you can sample as many wines as you like!
