So close to Florence you can see it (and drive there in fifteen minutes), yet nicely nestled in the peaceful hills above the city, this elegant villa is a superb spot to relax and unwind. Sleeping up to sixteen guests, it’s perfectly designed for a big family holiday or group getaway, with expansive gardens and lofty rooms that offer lots of space to stretch out. You’ll love the picturesque swimming pools (one private, one shared with the neighbouring apartments), the views across the Arno Valley, and the unique charm of this period home. You’ll also love staying in the sleepy village of Settignano, where you’ll find a handful of restaurants and a bar, giving you a taste of local Tuscan life.

About Coverciano
Coverciano is perhaps best known as a football hub – it’s home to training grounds for Italian national teams, and a football history museum. Although not a traditional tourist spot, it’s well connected to Florence on public transport, and the hillside villages Maiano and Fiesole are accessible by bus or a short drive.
