Step inside your apartment, and you'll discover a typically Tuscan scene, with tiled terracotta floors, exposed wooden ceilings and frescoes painted directly on the walls. Four individually decorated bedrooms, each as enchanting as the last, will serve as your soothing sanctuaries for you to unwind at the end of each day. The spacious interior includes not one but two seating areas, so you can always claim a secluded spot as your own for the afternoon if you want to get lost in the pages of a good book. Meanwhile, the kitchen and dining area are perfect for sociable meals with family and friends in true Italian style. Outside in the shared garden, you'll find yourself surrounded by pristine landscaped gardens with a vine-covered pergola, terraced seating and perhaps most importantly, a pool.

Coverciano is perhaps best known as a football hub – it’s home to training grounds for Italian national teams, and a football history museum.
