Villa Cora — wellness

A subterranean Roman-style spa pairs with a heated outdoor pool set among the estate's year-round parkland.

The neighborhood

Set along tree-lined Viale Machiavelli, the villa sits in a quiet residential enclave overlooking the Boboli Gardens.

“Built by Baron Oppenheim for his bride in the nineteenth century, during Florence’s brief turn as Italy’s capital, Villa Cora still feels like a private residence.” 
MICHELIN Guide · Two MICHELIN Keys
“With its setting on a leafy avenue to the south of the city, this hotel offers a taste of opulent, aristocratic living and a location that will suit culture hounds while being well removed from the crowds.”
