Villa Cora
FLORENCE, TUSCANY, ITALY
Overview
Villa Cora is located inside a centuries-old park that overlooks the Boboli Garden, on the hills just outside the historical center of Florence.
The villa is an aristocratic residence built at the end of the XIX century upon commission by Baron Oppenheim reflecting the architectural styles of that period, dominated by a strong eclectic decor that provides the villa with different, sometimes even bizarre, artistic styles. Villa Cora, inaugurated when Florence was the capital of the Kingdom of Italy, has become throughout the years one of the major cultural and cosmopolitan symbols of Florence. Villa Cora earned its reputation by hosting international guests of great importance, such as Princess Eugenia, wife of Napoleon III, and the Russian composer Tchaikovsky, and being considered the most beautiful residence of the Tuscan capital.
Villa Cora became an exclusive grand hotel at the end of 1960 and reopened in late 2010 after a detailed four-year restoration.
Sustainability Initiatives +
Since 2015, the farewell gift for our little guests is a tree, which is planted in Africa thanks to the Treedom project. Each child receives a code through which he/she can see the tree online and follow the story of the project he/she helps to create.
