Villa Cora
Florence, Toscana, Italy · Virtuoso · 2026 benefits
Villa Cora is located inside a centuries-old park that overlooks the Boboli Garden, on the hills just outside the historical center of Florence. The 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, 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.

Set within a rose-filled park just outside the city center, Villa Cora reifies 19th-century Firenze in all its grandiosity. Built by financier Baron Gustave Oppenheim, the villa simply oozes opulence with its marbled statues, exquisite frescoes, and rich fabrics in royal purple, power red, and plenty of green. Each of the 44 rooms and suites is unique unto itself in size, shape, and style. Lounge by Florence’s only outdoor heated pool open all year round and linger in the subterranean spa with its hammam and tepidarium. Dining venues change with the seasons.
