Grand Hôtel Villa Cora
Hotel and restaurant in town

This 19th-century palace, just a stone's throw from Boboli Gardens, offers the opportunity to embark on a journey into the heart of neoclassical Florence. Step inside and you will find a profusion of architectural treasures: the Mirrors Room, reputed to be the finest ballroom in Florence, the Moorish Room with its magnificent Oriental touches, and the Faïence Room which is home today to the Long bar. The two restaurants, housed in the bright winter garden and in the former cellars, serve stylish cuisine, a blend of tradition with contemporary influences, in a décor that pays homage to Isma’il Pasha, the Khedive of Egypt, historically a guest at the Villa. After a day spent exploring the town, the spa and pool, with their views over the magnificent grounds, offer a haven of peace and tranquility.
