Villa Cora reviews

“An exceptional stay in a beautiful setting, I'll be back!”

LikedVilla Cora was an exceptional stay from start to finish. The property itself is beautiful, with gorgeous gardens, a lovely pool, and a genuine sense of privacy that made the whole experience feel special. My suite was a real standout, spacious, elegantly furnished and beautifully finished. The common areas were just as impressive, ideal for relaxing at different points throughout the day. Breakfast was a real highlight, a generous and well-executed buffet each morning, and the staff were warm and attentive. The shuttle service into town was completely seamless and convenient, making it easy to enjoy both the tranquillity of the property and the charm of Florence only minutes away by car. I also enjoyed walking into town some mornings, a nice way to start the day. As someone travelling solo, I felt completely comfortable and well looked after throughout.

DislikedNothing, every aspect of my stay was exceptional.

“It is one of the best hotels, offering an impeccable atmosphere.”

LikedBreakfast was fantastic—absolutely super! The staff were wonderful and very attentive. We were also fortunate to attend the Christmas brunch, which was exceptional. The food was outstanding, there was live music, and the atmosphere was simply incredible.

“Live in an old villa as if you were a Medici at a reasonable price”

LikedGorgeous old villa in a magical setting close to Downtown yet secluded. The added values that makes this property superlative is the staff. Attentive, polite yet charming they made my stay absolutely perfect. I am a disabled traveller with a service dog so I can be demanding at times, but in this case they really made sure I had all I needed before I even asked for it!

DislikedI wish I had spent more nights there.

“Magical getaway in the heart of Florence”

LikedAbsolutely loved every single thing about the hotel but above all the service was exceptional. We stayed at another 5 star hotel in Florence but decided to stay here on our last night, wish we stayed here in the beginning. Bianca from reception really made us feel at home and super welcome. The pool was perfect temperature for the breezy Florence during our stay. Drinks were fantastic and the location is just close enough to the city that you still feel like you aren’t in the city but can get there in 7/8mins. Breakfast was an additional 40 Euro which we didn’t go for as we aren’t big heavy breakfast eaters. They provide a shuttle to the town between 9-12 and then again 4-9pm. I will most definitely be back, thank you Villa Cora team.

“Must visit place in Florence”

LikedA haven in a little away from busy central Florence. Historic building with well looked after beauty. Friendly staff with personalised service. There are free car parking and shuttle service to centre of Florence. We went there for lunch a few times previously and that made us wanting to stay here this year.

DislikedRoom was a slightly darker but with comfortable bed and facilities in room. Had amazing sleep. So you have to know how to enjoy this experience. OR ask one of friendly staff. Nothing else really.
