Poised on the banks of the Arno River, Villa La Massa is a haven of haute hospitality and nature, located between Florence and the Chianti region. A member of The Leading Hotels of the World, the luxury hotel is linked to central Florence by a courtesy shuttle bus that runs to and from the Ponte Vecchio every day.
Surrounded by 25 acres of grounds, including lemon trees and olive groves, this Medici mansion was converted into a luxury hotel in 1948. Embodying 500 years of history, Renaissance splendor and the lifestyle of Florentine aristocrats exude from the walls of Villa La Massa.
The hotel features 54 rooms, divided across six historic buildings: the Villa Nobile, the Mill, the Villino, the Casa Colonica, the Limonaia and Villa Hombert. The spirit of the Renaissance is still palpable in the first three villas decorated with sublime canopied beds, frescoes, tapestries, silks, and brocades, while the remaining three properties are beautifully furnished in a more contemporary Florentine style.
The gourmet restaurant “Il Verrocchio” serves traditional Tuscan cuisine with over 400 labels of wine, while the terrace overlooking the Arno River is a unique setting for romantic dinners.
Neighboring the recently restyled pool, L'Oliveto Bistrot is open for lunch. Named after the surrounding olive trees, which are used to produce the hotel’s own olive oil, the restaurant occupies a former barn.
For those looking for a full day of relaxation, an outdoor pool, a modern fitness center, the Arno SPA, mountain bikes and a running trail are all available on the property.
Villa La Massa is a seasonal hotel. The hotel will reopen on March 29, 2024

Villa La Massa features 54 luxury rooms, all different from one another and divided into 6 classical Tuscan-style buildings:
Noble Villa, Villino, Mill, Casa Colonica, Limonaia and Villa Hombert.
In the first 3 buildings, everything evokes the Renaissance atmosphere: canopy beds, elegant fabrics, boiseries, frescoed ceilings, tapestries, refined marble bathrooms. Each room is a perfect combination of classic sophistication and warm elegance… with all the modern comforts. In the other 3 buildings – recently restored -, the style is typically Tuscan, in harmony with the atmosphere of Villa La Massa… but with a luxurious and contemporary touch.
The furniture and the various interior details, such as lamps and pictures, were masterfully designed by local craftsmen. The colors are earthy with bright dashes, giving the atmosphere a lively and fresh touch. Each room offers wonderful views on the park, the Chianti hills or the Arno river: fairy tale-inspired sceneries allowing guests to immerse themselves in quietness, relaxation and romanticism.
