One of the BEST hotels on earth!

One of the BEST hotels we’ve ever stayed at. We had just gotten married and were on our honeymoon and when they found they upgraded us from a classic room to a mindblowingly beautiful suite with two bathrooms and a view of the pool. The style, decor, comfort, impeccable service made our honeymoon in Firenze wonderful. This is a WORLD CLASS HOTEL! Special shout out to fabulous Fabio for the rockstar welcome!

Villa Cora was delightful in every way. The only negative thing I have to say is that I am not currently still there. Alas, I would highly recommend Villa Cora as a jumping off point for your Tuscan or Firenze adventures.

Opportunistic and Dishonest Hotel Management

The building and surroundings are beautiful but they prioritise the income rather than customer satisfaction. I would not recommend this hotel after their opportunist and dishonest behaviour. They have even did not honor their own cancellation policy after their employee submitted in writing.

If I could give this place 100 stars, it would be completely accurate. The hotel and grounds itself are a work of art and could have its own guided tour that people would pay for. We took hundreds of photos all around. The heated pool, steam room, and jacuzzi were so nice to use throughout our trip, especially to start our mornings. Most importantly, the service was exactly what you would expect at a place like this. Everyone was so kind, respectful, and made sure we always had everything we needed even if it was just a small gesture like a cup of coffee while we waited in the lobby for our taxi. A special thank you to Marco, who made us feel like the most important people in the world from start to finish of our 4 night stay. LUXURIOUS in every way. Completely exceeded our already high expectations.
