Villa Cora

Dream

Rooms and suites at the hotel each have their own distinctive style, ranging from elegant spaces with parquet mahogany floors and frescoed ceilings to grand suites adorned with antique furniture and sumptuous décor. The lavish accommodations blend a timeless ambience with unparalleled comfort, featuring heavy velvet curtains, ornate beds, and a rich colour scheme that evokes the opulence of a bygone era. Large windows frame captivating panoramas of the meticulously landscaped gardens and Florence’s spellbinding cityscape.

Eat

Seasonally inspired and using ingredients of exceptional provenance, the culinary creations at Villa Cora’s Le Bistrot Restaurant will impress even the most discerning palates. Lunches call on a more casual menu, with gourmet sandwiches, pizzas, and salads sitting alongside succulent seafood and meat, whilst dinner showcases artfully crafted dishes that celebrate fine Italian and reimagined Tuscan gastronomy. The restaurant is an enticing setting in which to enjoy the exquisite food, inviting guests to dine al fresco by the pool in the summer months and inside in the elegant Moorish room during the winter.

Three bars allow guests to choose their perfect spot for a drink, from a rooftop aperitif as the sun sets across Florence’s cityscape to a classic cocktail in the poolside Cocktail Club or an after-dinner tipple in the atmospheric Il Salatto Del Santa bar.
