Where to stay in Coverciano
How the choice of base plays out on the ground.
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.
