Last week Zaira De Biasio stopped into our office to tell us about the re-opening of the 5 star luxury Hotel Villa Cora in Florence after an extensive and stunning 3 year renovation. The Hotel Villa Cora has so much to offer our clients, from the beautiful setting overlooking the Duomo and center of Florence, to the luxuriously appointed rooms and large garden with one of the most coveted amenities for summer travelers - a pool. The location is perfect for those who want to be close to the center of Florence yet also be able to escape the city in a relaxing and quiet villa.

After viewing these photographs, I’m sure you’ll understand why the Hotel Villa Cora just made Conde Nast Travelers “Hot List” for 2011.

Zaira has promised to take very good care of our clients so if you’d like to experience a stay at this hotel or one of the many other charming hotels we can recommend in Florence, please contact us at 203 254-3339.
