Emperor's Retreat

Standing watch over its four hectares of lawn, olive trees, palms, hibiscus, and vines, this home is worthy of an Italian poet in exile. Uniquely this home has most of its bedrooms on the ground floor, meaning that the kitchen and living spaces, elevated to the first floor, offer a great view of the surrounding grounds.

This villa is teeming with Tuscan charm – with its stoneware floors, beams made of chestnut, and terracotta vaults, you’ll not forget you are in the heart of one of the world’s most culturally productive regions.

After breakfast in the kitchen, with its generously-sized dining table, you’ll want to head down for a dip in your private pool. Then, the choice is yours –located in the hamlet of Cafaggio, at the foot of the hills near the Etruscan Coast, this home provides plenty of Italy to explore. You’re not far from the Mediterranean sea, and the local area is replete with places to enjoy Tuscan’s renowned food and see its storied art and history.
