Hotel Overview

Sense of Place

Villa Cora is south of Florence on the elegant Viale Machievelli. 

Rooms at Villa Cora

The guestrooms at Villa Cora are all elegant in design: on the first floor, or ‘piano nobile,’ rooms are government-protected for their original frescoes, antiques and mahogany doors; while the fourth floor suite is the perfect romantic hideaway with its private elevator. It’s all roses on the second floor, dedicated to the ex-empress Eugenia and her favourite flower, and a Moorish theme pervades the third floor.

Food & Drink

The outdoor pool is framed by elegant statues and gardens, with sun loungers and a poolside bar so you won’t have to move barely an inch for a refreshing cocktail. Relish fresh Tuscan dishes at Le Bistrot restaurant, and enjoy drinks in the Long Bar or cigars in the Cigar Room.

Facilities

De-stress in the spa, complete with sauna, Jacuzzi, steam room and fitness centre; take a stroll through the gorgeous gardens; or marvel at the view from the rooftop terrace.

Activities at Villa Cora

The Boboli Gardens and Pitti Palace are just a stone’s throw from Villa Cora, while Florence is brimming with architectural delights like the Ponte Vecchio, Piazzale Michelangelo and Piazza della Signoria.
