Villa Cora is amazing. It was almost a shame to leave to go explore Florence! The shuttle service made it so easy to get into town and back. The room was beautiful, the garden was lovely and the pool area was immaculate. We loved the staff, they were so friendly and helpful. My wife and I can’t wait to recommend Villa Cora to anyone going to Florence

Verified Expedia guest review

6/10 Good

The grounds, pool and terrace were beautiful. Unfortunately, the service was quite disappointing. Seemingly simple amenities like coffee and tea were assessed as extra charges, the shuttle shut down at inconvenient hours and some of the staff acted as though they were doing us a favor with their service. Not at all the level of service of a 5 star hotel.

This is the most amazing hotel and we can not wait to return and stay again. They treated us like true VIP’s and we were upgraded from a standard room to a junior suite! We felt like royalty and it made our stay in Florence very special. All of the staff were so lovely and helpful - Villa Cora is truly a very special hotel.
