Villa Cora

19th century opulence, landscaped gardens and just a mile from central Florence; Villa Cora is the ultimate Italian getaway.

Built by a baron for his wife towards the end of the 19th century, Villa Cora offers a truly unique experience when staying in Florence. Each room is decorated in a lavish, elegant fashion with top of the range electronics sitting alongside antique furniture. This boutique five star hotel also has an outdoor pool, on-site restaurant, cigar room, roof terrace and full-service spa.

About Villa Cora

This five star Villa Cora was built in the 1870s by Baron Oppenheim as a house for his wife and is decorated throughout to reflect this eccentric couple's initial vision, interests and obsessions. Roses are a theme throughout - there are more than 100 types in the gardens - as is decor inspired by the orient, classical art, sculpture and original frescoes. Each room is decorated in a unique style with antique furniture, luxurious furnishings, marble bathrooms and parquet flooring. While a boutique-style property, you’ll find the facilities of a much larger hotel including a subterranean full-service spa with sauna and steam room, highly regarded restaurant, cigar room and the only heated outdoor pool in Florence.
