Located just 6 miles from popular Florence, this farmhouse boasts views of the city and the surrounding hills. You’ve got over 5 hectares of private land to enjoy here, which includes a garden – complete with comfy seating spots, an alfresco dining terrace, and a loggia – as well as an olive grove. While the small private pool may not be big enough to swim in, you can still enjoy a dip to cool off from the Italian sun. It’s worth noting that at full occupancy, half the guests will be sleeping on sofa beds. If that’s not a dealbreaker, we think this countryside home is a great base from which to explore Florence and beyond.

  • The swimming pool isn't fenced.

  • Guests are asked to keep noise to a minimum after 11pm.

  • This home doesn’t accept groups of young people under the age of 25.

Local guide


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...
