Loved by guests
"The heated pool, steam room, and jacuzzi were so nice to use throughout our trip, especially to start our mornings."
"The hotel and grounds itself are a work of art and could have its own guided tour that people would pay for."
"My wife and I stayed at Villa Cora for 3 wonderful nights in the most opulent suite, perfectly appointed in florentine style, overlooking all of Florence from our window/bed view."
Villa Cora - A 19th-century luxury villa with heated outdoor pool, spa facilities, and Italian dining in rose-filled gardens
This 5-star hotel occupies a 19th-century neoclassical villa surrounded by rose-filled gardens and a centuries-old park overlooking the Boboli Gardens. All 45 individually furnished rooms feature premium bedding, pillow menus, laptop-friendly workspaces, minibars, and flat-screen TVs with satellite channels, with some offering private balconies with garden or Florence views. The hotel's restaurant serves Italian cuisine and Tuscan dishes and wines, operating poolside during summer and in the Sala Moresca during winter, with breakfast including cheeses, cold cuts, eggs to order, and homemade pastries. Leisure facilities include a heated outdoor swimming pool, spa with sauna, Turkish bath, and fitness center, plus weekly champagne and pizza evenings.
