“One of the best hotels I have stayed in. Located just outside of Firenze (complimentary shuttle to wherever you want in the city so not a problem) with superb views of the city and of the swimming pool. Our room was huge (Suite) and the the hotel is very carefully decorared in a baroque style. Loved the breakfast with fresh juice, fruits, cheese, tomatoes (the best i ever tasted)”

“What can we add to all other reviews? Great dining experience near pool; shuttle service to and from the city centre worked well for us; breakfast is good and certainly worth the extra money. Thanks to all hotel staff; it was memorable!”
“We were overwhelmed by the beauty, elegance, and hospitality at Villa Cora. Our new favorite luxury hotel for special occasions! Walking distance into Florence along a shady tree-lined boulevard gradually winding up a hill. We had three rooms/suites, and all were delightfully appointed and comfortable. One room was on Piano 1, which is the second floor, and the ceiling was gilt and with frescoes; had a canopy bed, and small balcony over the garden. The suites were higher up, larger, and each had a full bowl of fresh fruit, a bottle of champagne, and some little bags of sweet and savory snacks. All of the staff members were super helpful and most had good English. Photos are views from rooms.”
