Individual ratings for Villa Cora
It sits inside a garden with old-growth trees next to the Boboli Gardens. A 20-minute walk will take you to the Ponte Vecchio.
The perfect blend of historic atmosphere, grandiose design and young invigorating service.
Restaurant, culinary school, bar, cigar lounge with bar, "Bellevue" rooftop terrace with lounge, park with heated pool, pool bar, small gym, spa with massage and treatment rooms, sauna and steam room. Free shuttle service to central Florence.
Rich breakfast buffet plus à la carte egg dishes. During the summer season, the restaurant is moved into the poolside pavilion, while during the winter months you will find it in the Moresque Room. Chef Alessandro Liberatore cultivates a light Italian cuisine.
46 classic rooms and suites spread across three buildings: the villa, the former "Villino Eugenia" guest house near the pool and the little "La Follie" gatehouse. We prefer the more glamorous rooms in the villa. Here, each floor has its own theme: The rooms on the Bel Etage feature frescoes, the second floor is of rather feminine character and rose-themed, the third affect a Moorish style, while the fourth floor is taken up by just one Junior Suite designed in the style of the 1950s. All rooms feature luxurious Carrara marble bathrooms stocked with care products from the famous Florentine pharmacy Santa Maria di Novella.
The staff are friendly, professional, and solicitous without seeming overtrained.
Villa Cora Hotel, Firenze
Price range
Princess for a while: In the imposing hotel lobby – a hall of mirrors in the style of Louis XV – and the grand rooms, history becomes almost palpable, though of course you still have the benefit of modern amenities.
If you like to sleep with your window open you may be disturbed by traffic noise from the highly frequented Viale Machiavelli.
