This traditional Tuscan home is a peaceful retreat just 26 kilometres southeast of Florence. Consisting of a main house and an independent annexe (with its own kitchen), this is a great option for families and groups in search of authentic Italian charm in a beautiful location. It’s worth noting some of the furnishings and decor are a little dated, but you will find plenty of socialising space and a fantastic garden. There is also a sauna and a private pool, plus your host can help organise a range of extra services – including wine tastings and spa treatments. And for explorations further afield, the restaurants and shops of Leccio are just 3 kilometres away.

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...
