ITALY / VILLA CORA

Welcome to Villa Cora / Opulent, Romantic, Timeless

Villa Cora, Florence - your honeymoon dream spun into stone, marble, roses, and Tuscan sunlight. Here’s what makes it belissimo, and why for new lovers, this might be as dreamy as it gets. a 19th‑century aristocratic villa turned luxury hotel, nestled in a centuries‑old garden (park) just outside Florence’s historical centre.

It overlooks the famous Boboli Gardens, perched on the hills, so you’re close enough for the city’s romantic magic, yet somewhat apart in serenity. Villa Cora was built by Baron Oppenheim for his wife, Princess Eugenia. The architecture and interiors are richly decorative, eclectic, mixing marble, frescos, antique furniture, Murano glass, sumptuous fabrics.

You can feel the history in the walls. Choose from 44 luxurious and private rooms & suites, each distinctive in decor. Many rooms have terraces or views into the gardens or of Florence. Big bathrooms, lovely finishes, modern comfort + old world charm. With its Italian‑style garden, over 900 sqm garden, with majestic trees, blooming roses, exquisite landscaping and outdoor heated pool (so even off‑peak months you can swim) in the garden, with loungers, sun, shade which is perfect for lazy afternoons together...

It’s like stepping into a painting. Ehe “Bené” Spa: calm, luxe, private. You can indulge in massages, facials, holistic treatments. They also have a sauna, hammam and gym. Honeymooners can really unplug with a sense of sense of being cared for, pampered.

Le Bistrot, and other restaurants in‑house: Italian / Tuscan cuisine with local ingredients; dining al fresco by the pool in summer, or inside in richly decorated rooms in cooler months. Head to the top of the hotel to unwind in the suggestive flair of Bellevue Roof Terrace, offering mesmerizing vistas of Florence. 

Sink into the big cushions on a comfy leather sofa and enjoy a refreshing cocktail or a flute of Champagne – cin cin!

Close enough to Florence’s museums, Duomo, Ponte Vecchio etc so you can explore art, shops, streets and gelato without spending hours commuting, yet peaceful being in the gardens or on the hillside, gives you that cocoon feeling. 

This is a picture of a day on your Honeymoon at Villa Cora - Morning: wake up in a frescoed suite, open your terrace, the scent of roses in the garden carries to you. Soft light, breakfast on the terrace.

Midday: walk hand‑in‑hand through Boboli Gardens, explore Florence — Duomo, Uffizi, lunch in a trattoria.

Afternoon: back, spa time — hammam, massage. Then lounge poolside, a prosecco in hand.

Evening: sunset from the rooftop terrace, dress up, dinner in Le Bistrot, candles, wine, views of Florence glittering. Then maybe a nightcap at Il Salotto Del Santa, or under the stars in the garden.
