Why We Love Planning Weddings at Villa Cora
The venue’s prime location allows for discreet and efficient vendor access, a critical behind-the-scenes detail. It means the complex work of installing florals, sound, and lighting happens invisibly, ensuring the magnificent beauty of your day is all you and your guests ever see.
Event Spaces: Ceremony, Reception, and More
Villa Cora’s collection of opulent spaces allows for a dynamic and elegant event flow, custom-tailored to your vision.
The Mirror Hall (Sala degli Specchi)
This is widely considered one of the most breathtaking ballrooms in Florence. Defined by its sumptuous Baroque design, gilded moldings, and floor-to-ceiling mirrors, it reflects the light to create a dazzling, golden atmosphere. It is an unmatched setting for a gala dinner or a truly regal ceremony.
Pool Area
This elegant space is our preferred setting for a sophisticated aperitif. The gleaming water and classical statues create a glamorous atmosphere, allowing guests to mingle poolside with a signature cocktail in hand before moving indoors for dinner.
