Villa La Massa

Boutique Rural Hotel

Trip Advisor Rating '.$item_trip.' Our Rating 9.6
 

Villa La Massa, a luxurious five-star retreat on the Arno River's tranquil banks, captivates with its 14th-century Medici elegance, blending rural serenity with Renaissance charm, just a 20-minute shuttle ride from Florence's vibrant heart.

The 51 rooms and suites, spread across five historic buildings—Villa Nobile, Mill, Villino, Casa Colonica, and Limonaia—unfold with refined warmth, featuring air-conditioned comfort, flat-screen TVs, minibars, and bathrooms with Officina Farmaceutica di Santa Maria Novella toiletries. Villa Nobile's canopied beds and brocades evoke Renaissance grandeur, while annexes glow with modern Florentine style—hardwood floors, colorful textiles, and marble bathrooms. Casa Colonica's suites, ideal for families, offer private kitchens. Attentive staff ensure thoughtful touches, from plush linens to warm welcomes, fostering a sense of belonging amid Tuscany's gentle pulse.

Dining at Il Verrocchio, led by Chef Stefano Ballarino, showcases estate-grown Tuscan dishes like bistecca alla Fiorentina, savoured on a riverside terrace. Oliveto Bistro's poolside pizzas and salads pair with Bar Mediceo's retro cocktails. A daily breakfast buffet brims with local flavours, complemented by cooking classes and wine tastings. Guests can immerse in curated experiences, from painting classes to exploring Florence's Duomo, capturing the region's timeless rhythm with effortless grace.

Nestled 8 kilometers from Florence's centre and 7 kilometers from the A1 motorway, with Florence Airport nearby, Villa La Massa offers seamless access via a free shuttle. A heated outdoor pool, Arno Spa with Turkish bath and hot tub, tennis court, fitness centre, free bike rentals, and 62 acres of gardens elevate the experience, ensuring serene renewal in a setting of historic splendor.
