It's perched in an elevated hilltop spot, providing you with some picturesque views out over the rolling hills and leafy green forests that surround you here. Outside, a stunning private pool sits surrounded by cypress trees, ideal for relaxing on hot and sunny days – and the raised terrace makes a great spot for your morning coffee.

Home truths
This home is an apartment in a larger villa. The host lives on-site and may occasionally use the pool, but is respectful of guests' privacy. There is a pet dog living at the property but it is not allowed into the pool area.
The swimming pool is only available for use between 1st May and 1st September. It isn't fenced, so children will need to be supervised at all times.
Due to this home's location, we recommend hiring a car to get the most out of your stay. There is free parking at the home.
If you're travelling with little ones, your host can provide a cot and high chair for free.
Some of the bedroom curtains here don't fully block out the sunlight. If you're hoping to enjoy a lie-in, you might want to pack an eye mask.

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...
