This hotel is just stunning. Once you enter in the hotel you feel a mix between modern style with the light under the pub's table and romantism, with the statues and paints "à la Michelangelo" on the selling. The family room was in fact a duplex with the beds both on the main floor and on the second floor. The... More

We didn't stay at the hotel but did come for lunch that was very special. The hillside location of the villa high above the hubbub of the city was really special and the whole lunch delicious and served with great courtesy and style. Very expensive, but then spending pounds in Euroland is never comfortable, doubly so in Italy, trebly so... More

We had a great stay at this hotel. The staff were absolutely perfect. Helpful, but not overbearing or stuffy. The building itself and its grounds are beautiful and our room had an amazing view over Florence. The free shuttle into town was really useful and the decent free wifi was very useful. Wish we could have stayed longer!

Absolutely fantastic! Excellent for wedding parties: we saw a marvellous Japanese couple taking pictures there:)! A piece of jewellery: it was the first time that my husband doubted that we belong to the 2 percent of well-to-do familiies in Switzerland. Superb surroundings!!! A great spa and a lukewarm swimming-pool. The room - definitely small for the price, but nice, picturesque... More

I arrived at Villa Cora full of trepidations based upon poor reviews on tripadvisor. Poor service, hostile and dishonest stafff and tales of woe - all of which were not, for me,true.
