Villa Cora: a special stay in a historic residence in Florence

 

A city of art like Florence shines with beauty in every season of the year. For an enchanting stay, both for its excellent facilities and for the extraordinarily attentive service, I propose Villa Cora, a sumptuous nineteenth-century villa on the outskirts of the historic center of Florence, located in a centuries-old park of 900 square meters overlooking the Boboli Gardens. Villa Cora was built in 1860 by Baron Oppenheim (one of the supporters of the Suez Canal) for his wife and later bought by Napoleon III's widow, Empress Eugenié.

 
 

Today it is a luxury hotel that has 44 rooms including 13 suites, with rooms restored to their original glory: stuccoes, huge mirrors, large chandeliers in a series of halls decorated in an 'eclectic' style, trompe l'oeil frescoes, graceful and feminine boudoir with a pink theme, rooms in Moorish style, others more sunny and in a classic style.

 
 
 

There is a heated outdoor pool all year open, a large spa equipped with a small gym, tepidarium, sauna, hammam. The wellness center offers massages, beauty treatments and body rituals in collaboration with the renowned Officina Profumo-Farmaceutica di Santa Maria Novella and the famous London beautician Sarah Chapman.

 

At the restaurant "Le Bistrot" the Executive Chef, Alessandro Liberatore, offers classic Italian cuisine reinterpreted with seasonal products, mainly local. The cocktails created by the hotel's highly trained staff can be enjoyed in one of the numerous locations: "Cigar Room", "Le Bar Long", "Le Pool Bar" and on the "Bellevue Roof Terrace"
