Grand Villa Cora Hotel

A palace more than 100 years old, in the most exclusive residential area of Florence, Grand Hotel Villa Cora is a haven of pure luxury and relaxation after wandering through this unique town of the arts. It is a charming home of the purest neo-classic style, admired for its grandeur and the wealth of the internal decorations, in which an eclecticism of fashion styles from that period can be noted. The furnishings have mostly been specially constructed following original drawings, but many are authentic period and antique pieces both in the halls and in the apartments. Every apartment has at least one antique piece and often more than one. Everywhere one can find antique prints and lithographs, paintings of great value as well as Persian and Oriental carpets.
