Daily Destination: Villa Cora in Florence, Italy
Villa Cora is located inside a centuries-old park that overlooks the Boboli Gardens, just outside the historical center of Florence, Italy.
This 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. It is 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.
At the end of 1960, Villa Cora became an exclusive grand hotel and then reopened in late 2010 after a detailed three-year restoration.
The common areas, located in the attractive rooms on the ground floor of the main Villa, have been restored with full respect for the original items and offer different options for meeting and business lunches, events and presentations.
The Moresque Room is perfectly adapted to meetings and formal dinners, and can host up to 20 seated guests. The Mirror Room is the biggest and most majestic of our rooms, suitable for every type of event, thanks to the charm of the original Baroque decorations. Musical evenings with live piano enrich the offer of this beautiful place. The Mirror Room has a wide terrace that dominates the park and the hills leading toward the city. On the top of the Villa there is an elegant terrace overlooking the park and the hills of Florence. Thanks to the breathtaking view of the city, the large panoramic terrace, extending over 150 square meters, is the ideal location for scenographic events at sunset.
Travel Tip: The Bellevue Roof Terrace is where you can enjoy a mesmerizing view of the city while tasting a glass of Champagne in the lounge area during summer months.
