Villa Cora

The Imperial Suite occupies the Noble Floor and is the hotel’s senior address, having received Emperor Akihito of Japan among its guests. Two bedrooms with four-poster beds are paired with bathrooms in Carrara marble. Original frescoes by Pietrasanta and Samoggia cover the walls, and a private balcony looks directly over Florence and the villa’s gardens.

The right choice for guests who want the strongest historical fabric in the building, the greatest space, and a direct external connection to the garden and city views.

The Suites are distributed across the Noble Floor and Rose Floor, and carry a documented guest list that includes Tchaikovsky, Grace Kelly, Princess Eugenia Bonaparte, and Madame Debussy. Four-poster beds, original wooden floors, and a separate living room define the format throughout, with furnishings scaled to match the architecture.

A strong choice for guests who want full suite proportions with a genuine sense of the building’s history, without the sole-occupancy premium of the Imperial Suite.

No two Junior Suites share the same decorative scheme. Antique parquet floors and frescoed ceilings appear throughout, but the detail varies by floor: rose motifs and warm tones on the second, hand-painted gold with white and purple velvet on the fourth. In Villino Eugenia, pastel-painted ceilings and three garden-facing windows give the room a distinct character and strong natural light.

A practical entry point into suite-level space at Villa Cora, particularly well-suited to guests staying several nights who want variety of setting.

The Family Suite sits on the Moorish Floor and comprises a master bedroom alongside a second room with twin beds, each paired with its own marble bathroom. Dark-toned wooden floors run throughout both spaces. A panoramic terrace overlooking the gardens adds external living space that few family configurations in Florence can match.

Designed for families travelling with children or two adults who require separate sleeping quarters without sacrificing the quality of finishes found elsewhere in the villa.
