    The room was big, unique, and had a balcony with a view of the city and a drink. Rewritten: the room was spacious, special, and had a balcony with a city view and a drink.

    Very welcoming and incredible staff, the breakfasts are DELICIOUS with views across the gardens. The location is great in a beautiful area, near to gardens and winding valley. Piazzale Michelangelo district certainly deserves to be visited.

    The location here is stunning, close to one of the most beautiful art cities in the world. You can easily get to the downtown area and all the major attractions 👌. Plus, it's up in the hills with an amazing view overlooking the city.

    A fairy tale experience with top-notch service!

    I recently had the pleasure of staying at a magnificent hotel in an enchanting location. From the moment I arrived until I departed, the service was exceptional. The hotel itself was exquisite, with stunning grounds and beautifully appointed rooms. The pool and restaurant were delightful, and I indulged in some wonderful spa services. I truly cannot find enough words to describe how remarkable this property is. A special shout-out to the hotel manager, Vanessa, and her incredible staff for making my stay so unforgettable. I can't wait to return on my next visit. I highly recommend this hotel without any hesitation.

    From arrival to departure, the Villa Cora team exceeded our expectations. Outstanding service and attention to detail. Michelin-standard restaurant accommodating food allergies. Must-see views over Florence at sunset. Super-friendly staff, efficient and helpful. Last-minute Uffizi tickets. Idyllic property with beautiful rooms. Acknowledged our wedding anniversary with prosecco and fruit. Delicious food, particularly dinner by the pool. Polite and helpful breakfast staff. Fantastic spa and therapists. Tranquil pool area. Special location close to the center. All these factors made for a perfect weekend.

    Would recommend this hotel.

    During my recent stay in a gorgeous hotel in Florence, I was blown away by the stunning location and top-notch service. The hotel overlooks the beautiful Boboli Gardens, providing a picturesque backdrop for a memorable vacation. The personal service I received was outstanding, making me feel welcomed and valued throughout my stay. The hotel offers a complimentary shuttle to the heart of Florence, making it convenient to explore the city's attractions. In addition, the walk down the garden streets to the main gate of old Florence and up to the Piazzale Michelangelo was a delightful experience. The hotel's dining room offered an excellent breakfast buffet and was perfect for intimate dinners. Though expensive, the hotel is worth every penny, especially for special occasions like a romantic anniversary celebration. I highly recommend this lovely hotel for its five-star service and unforgettable experiences.

    Although my stay at the hotel was amazing, there were a few drawbacks. the pool experience was not as exceptional as expected.

    We had an amazing stay at the hotel. The staff was incredibly courteous and accommodating. We were impressed by the cleanliness and elegance of the property. The hotel facilities were top-notch, including a pool and a rooftop bar with stunning views. The location, just outside the center, was perfect for us as it was in a quiet part of the city yet still close enough to easily explore the attractions. The private shuttle service and the option to walk to downtown were convenient for getting around. The breakfast provided at the hotel was delicious, and the staff in the restaurants were friendly and attentive.

    Nothing to mention.

    Decent breakfast but pricey. Include breakfast in room reservation. 25 min from city center. Free shuttle for sightseeing. Peaceful grounds and pool. Spectacular views from fifth floor terrace. Attentive, helpful staff. One of our favorite hotels. Beautiful pool for relaxation. Outdoor gym available. Nice dinner at Pacha Restaurant. Young and comfortable decor. Easy transfers to downtown. Walk or taxi options available. a valuable and enjoyable hotel experience.

    The room was clean and comfortable. The breakfast was great and I loved the variety of options. The location was convenient, being close to popular attractions and restaurants. The airport shuttle was a plus.

    The staff could have been more friendly and welcoming. The wifi was slow and unreliable.

    Villa Cora offers a convenient location in the historic center of the city, making it easy to explore the sights and attractions. The hotel is also situated on a hill, providing breathtaking views of the cityscape. Guests can enjoy beautifully furnished rooms with pristine marble bathrooms and walk-in showers. The service is personalized and top-notch, with staff addressing guests by their names. The breakfast buffet is outstanding, offering a delightful start to the day. The hotel grounds are immaculate and perfect for a leisurely stroll.

    The hotel is not within easy walking distance from some popular tourist spots.

    We had a delightful and pampering stay at an effortlessly elegant European city resort property. The 18th Century Villa Cora is truly a sanctuary of calm and luxury just outside the city limits of a beautiful European destination. The main villa is a stunning masterpiece, retaining its original baroque fixtures and furnishings, reminiscent of a museum. The newer out buildings perfectly complement the main villa's replica style.
