This peaceful retreat just outside Florence is surrounded by olive trees, cypresses and sweeping views of the city. The private, raised terrace is perfect for sunset dinners, while the shared pool is made for lazy days in the sun. It's set within walking distance of Settignano, a charming village where a young Michelangelo once lived – and where you'll be able to catch a bus into Florence. Inside, the home blends rustic charm with global flair, thanks to its interior designer host’s worldly travels. It’s a warm, welcoming space where you can slow down, soak up the scenery and enjoy the simple pleasures of Italian life.

Home truths
The swimming pool is only available for use between mid-May and mid-September. Contact the host for exact dates. It isn't fenced, so if you're bringing little ones, they'll need to be supervised at all times.
If driving to the home, you can avoid the narrow countryside roads by going through Settignano's main square before turning onto the road. Parking is included here, but you can also walk to Settignano and take the bus to Florence.

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. It also has a fair share of local restaurants where you're more likely to find local familes...
