An Unforgettable Luxury Experience at Villa Cora

Our stay at Villa Cora was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with genuine warmth, professionalism, and attention to every detail. The entire team delivered a truly high-class service that exceeded all expectations and made our experience unforgettable.
A special thank you goes to Sara Cartocci, whose kindness, elegance, and dedication were remarkable. She went above and beyond to ensure that every aspect of our stay was perfect. Her professionalism combined with her genuine care for guests reflects the very highest standards of hospitality.
Villa Cora is a masterpiece of luxury, beauty, and impeccable service. Every member of the staff contributed to creating an atmosphere of comfort, sophistication, and excellence.
I wholeheartedly recommend Villa Cora to anyone visiting Florence and looking for a truly outstanding experience. It is a place where luxury meets heartfelt hospitality, and we cannot wait to return.

Perfetto.

This is our 9th stay at Villa Cora, 14 years after we were married there. This holiday was easily one of the best. The surroundings are stunning and the facilities are without compare.
Other hotels may have similar but they do not have what makes this place truly special: the staff. We count them as friends now and look forward to seeing them. Even the newer members of the team are so wonderful and warm. Just a perfect place to be. We cannot wait to come back and count this as our second home.

Another wonderful stay! Thank you so much!

Despite the ever increasing competition in Florence, La Villa Cora is still the top of its field. Marco the hotel manager and Lorenzo the head concierge ensure every guest’s soggiorno is perfettissimo. I am not sure how they do it but they manage a fantastic team dedicated to ensuring guests have a wonderful time.

Your true luxury Tuscan oasis

Villa Cora is a gem: a true oasis perched above Firenze and away from the hot hustle and bustle of the town.The archittecture and decor are just stunning and the service is great: from Lorenzo, the head concierge and Gabriele to Hillaria at reception , Victoria at the breakfast or Matteo by the pool, most members of staff go the extra mile in attention and customer service. The breakfast buffet is amazing by global standards, the Spa is great.The only downsides are the noisy children/ families by the pool, the outrageously overpriced drinks and restaurants by the pool. Maybe also Concierge recommendations should be better vetted (a terrible Firenze restaurant tourist trap and a mediocre winery experience were arranged in advance and turned out really disappointing...)..and the rooftop terrace should be more alive , better promoted as a hot spot and great evening hang out with unique views of Florence...
