Florence, Italy Villa Cora
An Oasis on the Edge of Florence
Villa Cora sits in a centuries-old park overlooking the Boboli Gardens, on the hills at the edge of Florence's historic old town. The aristocratic residence was built at the end of the 19th century on behalf of Baron Oppenheim and reflects the architectural currents of the time. A distinctly eclectic style shapes the villa's interior, lending it a fascinating mix of sometimes unusual artistic elements. Since opening at a time when Florence was the capital of the Kingdom of Italy, Villa Cora has grown into an important cultural and cosmopolitan landmark of the city.
