We adore Villa Cora for our honeymooners and girlfriend getaways. It’s an ideal mix of city and country. Nestled into a centuries-old park, this historical villa is only a 5-minute walk to the historic center of Florence, or an easy ride in the house car.

Dining Options at Villa Cora

There are several  five-star dining and drinking venues, as well as relaxed, casual options at Villa Cora.

Le Bistro Restaurant changes location seasonally, rotating from the Moresca room with domed ceiling and original frescoes to the outdoor pool patio from April to October. The chef prepares cuisine, which is predominately sourced locally. Must do brunch here!

There is an outdoor bar next to the pool, an indoor cigar room, and the intimate, elegant Le Bar Long.

There’s even a rooftop bar! During the summer months, the hotel’s rooftop transforms into a lounge with leather couches perfect for taking in the mesmerizing view of Florence.
