9.8/10 Exceptional! (478 reviews)
Villa Cora was an interesting and pleasant stay with a nice pool, lovely staff, and a beautiful setting. We enjoyed our stay but likely will not return.
Strengths:
- Well-kept stately villa and grounds
- Attractive, beautifully-designed room and indoor common areas
- Helpful, kind, and capable staff pre-arrival and during our stay
- A lovely pool environment, perfect for staying cool and relaxing in summer
- Excellent fresh lunch at the poolside restaurant Le Bistrot
- A general sense of peace and calmness
- Good shuttle service when available
Areas of Improvement:
- Value: at an average €1,065 / night (incl. tax), it was too expensive for what it offered
- Air conditioning was weak and the room was hot throughout our stay
- Housekeeping was inconsistent
- Too many expensive extras
- Weak service at the pool
- The strange shuttle hours of 9:30 - 12:30 and 4:30 - 8:30 left gaps and required us to take many expensive taxis
- Very little storage space in the small Classic Room
- Rooftop bar and basement speakeasy were both closed despite being advertised on the hotel website
I debated whether to rate this property 3 or 4 out of 5, and the quality of staff broke the tie for me. A lovely complement of professionals overall
