A month under the cypress trees at Villa Barilli — Empoli, in the hills of Toscana.
18 August – 15 September 2026
We’ve taken a villa in the Tuscan hills for the back half of summer — five weeks of long lunches, warm evenings, and a pool that never quite empties of children. We’d love for you to come and share some of it with us.
Come for a few days or a whole week, early in the stay or right at the very end — whenever suits your summer. There’s always a room made up, a place at the table, and a cold bottle waiting in the shade.
It’ll be the five of us for the duration: me and Delia, with Leo, Alex & Oli running the grounds. Pick your days below, tell us you’re coming, and we’ll take care of the rest.
Con affetto,
Björn & Delia
A restored country house above Empoli, wrapped in olive groves and vineyards, with a swimming pool set among the cypresses and a long pergola made for dinners that run late. Inside: cool tiled floors, five generous bedrooms, and terraces that catch the evening light.
Thirty-odd days in the hills. Come for any stretch of them — a long weekend, a slow week, or the whole golden tail of the summer.
Villa Barilli sits on Via dei Barilli, in the green hills between Florence and Pisa — vineyards on one side, olive groves on the other, and the medieval towers of San Gimignano a short drive south.

The medieval Manhattan — a crown of stone towers on the hill, vineyards below, and Vernaccia in every glass.
The Duomo, the Uffizi, the Ponte Vecchio — the whole Renaissance, a morning away.
The shell-shaped Campo, the Gothic Duomo, and the prettiest streets in Tuscany.
Tell us when you’d like to come and we’ll have a room ready. Tap your arrival day, then your last day on the calendar — the whole stay is open between 18 Aug and 15 Sep.
