Where to stay in Coverciano
The right area depends on your trip — here's what each neighbourhood is best for.
The Museo del Calcio is the anchor. Rooms in Coverciano sit out among the streets that grew over Varlungo and Gignoro, which puts a guest in a residential quarter of Florence rather than within reach of the city's central squares on foot. The Goffredo Nannini swimming pool is the other draw.
Choose it if you want quiet evenings and a football museum on the doorstep more than a short walk to the middle of Florence.

About Coverciano
What are the main landmarks in Coverciano?
The Museo del Calcio heads the list. Three churches follow it: San Pietro a Varlungo, San Bartolomeo al Gignoro, and San Zanobi e Santi Fiorentini, the first two carrying older settlement names that the streets of Florence have since absorbed. The Goffredo Nannini swimming pool is here too, along with the War Memorial of Varlungo and the Monumento a San Cristoforo at the Comando Militare Toscana di Firenze.
Sport and parish, side by side.
What is the history of Coverciano?
Coverciano has no charter date. What the register offers instead are older names, Varlungo and Gignoro, both preserved in the dedications of San Pietro a Varlungo and San Bartolomeo al Gignoro, from a time before the streets of Florence reached this ground. The War Memorial of Varlungo carries one of them forward.
Its neighbour on the list, the Monumento a San Cristoforo, stands with the Comando Militare Toscana di Firenze.
