Villa Cora crowns a hillside garden in the Oltrarno, looking towards the Boboli Gardens a short walk from central Florence.
Baron Gustave Oppenheim built the neoclassical villa in the late 1860s for his bride, and it later passed to Empress Eugenie, widow of Napoleon III, before the Cora family gave it its present name in 1894. It earns its place on the strength of that unbroken thread of aristocratic occupation, still visible in its frescoes, marble and silk hung halls.
