Florence’s Costoli Swimming Pool

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

From its crystal blue waters in  three pools—Olympic-sized, one for diving and another for children—as well as plenty of open space for games, lawn space for tanning, and activities for all ages, Costoli is a perfect place to enjoy the summer sun.  The pools are spacious, so complex is not overly crowded, even on the busiest of days.

There are no chairs or tables around the pool, so guest should be aware that they must bring their own towels, mats and folding chairs as well as other necessities. In order to enter the pool, swim caps are required, and can be purchased for €2. Food and beverages are sold at the multiple counters in the complex.

This is Part 3 of Magenta’s series on Florence’s swimming pools: see Part 1 on Le Pavoniere and Flog and Part 2 on Bellariva.
