We were disappointed to be charged $18 for coffee in the morning given the nightly rate and reputation. We visited the wellness area in the spa and were so offended that cell phones and loud talking was happening/permitted (?) from guests. This ruined our spa experience. The dining and concierge staff were wonderful but the establishment needs to review its priorities and policies.

The grounds, pool and terrace were beautiful. Unfortunately, the service was quite disappointing. Seemingly simple amenities like coffee and tea were assessed as extra charges, the shuttle shut down at inconvenient hours and some of the staff acted as though they were doing us a favor with their service. Not at all the level of service of a 5 star hotel.

Fra start til slut, en magisk oplevelse. Service var nærværende, venlig og imødekommende. Stedet og omgivelserne var eventyrlige og magiske. Der var intet at sætte en finger på. Poolområdet var virkeligt roligt og stilfuldt. Værelset var klassisk stil, passer perfekt ind i hotellets stil og denne pragtfulde by. Helt rent med rengøring flere gange dagligt. Afstanden til centrum er kort, 20-30 min gang eller det halve i bil. Stedet havde gratis skufle bus. Som meget berejst familie - samt forretningsmand, får dette sted min/vores klarer anbefaling.

Meget smukt hotel. Alle fællesarealer er som at bo på et slot. Meget velholdt og imponerende. Fantastisk udsigt fra rooftop. Dejlig opvarmet pool og en beliggenhed væk fra larmen i Firenze, men kun 11 minutter fra centrum. Gratis shuttle service. Gode værelser som personalet yder god service på. Fin spa og et lille men effektivt fitness-rum.

Villa Cora is amazing. It was almost a shame to leave to go explore Florence! The shuttle service made it so easy to get into town and back. The room was beautiful, the garden was lovely and the pool area was immaculate. We loved the staff, they were so friendly and helpful. My wife and I can’t wait to recommend Villa Cora to anyone going to Florence

Consider getting the imperial suite if you book. We loved the spa services and hung out every night by the pool to enjoy the amazing cocktails! Breakfast buffet has so many options, I would like to see more steak on the dinner menu, but I believe the menu was fixed for the duration of our stay. All in all I felt regal during my stay here, you won’t be disappointed!

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.

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!
