    fantastic views
    delicious breakfast
    top-notch service
    disorganized check-in
    lack of attention

    Had an amazing time with friends at this stunning place! We took a short walk up to Piazzale Michelangelo for fantastic views and enjoyed the relaxing pool area. The service was top-notch and the breakfast was delicious. Definitely recommend the fresh pizzas by the pool and the local wines.

    However, the check-in process was a bit disorganized and could have used more attention from staff.

    glamorous decor
    elegant swimming pool
    check-in chaos

    An absolute gem! The glamorous decor took my breath away, and the elegant swimming pool was pure bliss after a long day. The staff was incredibly attentive, making my stay feel truly special and luxurious.

    However, the check-in process felt like a comedy of errors—unless you enjoy waiting and confusion, in which case, bravo! Also, nearly lost my trendy earrings. hide your valuables, darling!

    breakfast buffet
    poor service
    billing error

    Exceptional breakfast buffet.

    The front desk service was downright appalling. We waited over 40 minutes for our luggage, only for it to arrive after we decided to go back up to the room. The cleaning staff rushed in as soon as we went to breakfast and took forever to leave, causing us to miss our scheduled shuttle into Florence. To top it off, I had booked and paid for everything, but they charged my brother for all our meals, which felt incredibly sexist and unprofessional.

    stunning interior
    delightful gardens

    beautiful parks and quick access to florence's charm

    I was in awe the moment I arrived, as the stunning interior and luxurious furnishings immediately made me feel at home, and the delightful gardens offered a perfect escape to relax after exploring the nearby attractions like the majestic Ponte Vecchio and the stunning Piazzale Michelangelo, which are both just a short stroll away. however, I wish there were more seating options in the common areas for a comfortable relaxation experience.

    heated pool
    healthy food
    limited activities

    Staying here was fantastic! The heated outdoor pool was a hit with the whole family, dogs included. We loved the healthy food choices and the relaxed vibe. A quick 10-minute walk got us to Piazzale Michelangelo for breathtaking views over Florence.

    My kids wished for more kid-friendly activities during our stay.

    high breakfast cost

    I had such a fantastic stay, especially loving the heated outdoor pool and the rooftop terrace which had the best views! The breakfast was pretty good, but I felt the cost was a bit steep. Overall, I highly recommend it for a relaxing getaway! 😊

    Enchanting, Enchanting, Enchanting

    My stay was enchanting because of the fine views from the rooftop terrace, where I could see the amazing Florence skyline at sunset. The personalized service from the staff, as they remembered my name and preferences throughout my visit. And let's not forget the exquisite breakfast spread, featuring organic local ingredients and homemade treats.

    homemade pastries
    poolside bites
    warm staff
    uncomfortable bed
    basic breakfast

    Villa Cora is a culinary heaven! The breakfast spread was divine, with homemade pastries that melted in your mouth. Plus, the poolside snack bar offered a tempting array of light bites that hit the spot after a day of roaming Florence. Coupled with the stunning decor and the genuine warmth of the staff, it made our time there simply unforgettable.

    However, our double room was a bit of a letdown — it was two singles pushed together and not at all cozy. The extra charges for breakfast were a bummer, especially when the selection was kind of basic. Still, it didn’t spoil our overall experience. Just a few tweaks could elevate it!
