Villa La Massa, managed by Villa d’Este Hotels, is a Medicean Villa located on the banks of the Arno River. It is recognized as one of the most charming hotels in the Chianti countryside of Florence. Linked to the city center by a daily courtesy shuttle, the hotel is a piece of heaven surrounded by lemon trees and olive groves. The hotel features 51 rooms, divided among five historic buildings: the Villa Nobile, the Mill, the Villino, the Casa Colonica and the Limonaia. The spirit of the Renaissance is still palpable in the first two villas decorated with sublime canopied beds, frescoes and tapestries, silks and brocades, while the other three are beautifully furnished in a more contemporary Florentine style. The gourmet restaurant “Il Verrocchio” offers the traditional Tuscan cuisine with over 400 labels of wine; its terrace overlooking the Arno River is a unique setting for romantic dinners. Overlooking the pool area L'Oliveto bistrot is a new culinary offering which is open for lunch. Named after surrounding olive trees, which are used to produce the hotel’s own olive oil, L’Oliveto occupies a former barn, which has been lovingly restored to offer relaxed Tuscan dining.

Truly an excellent experience from start to end. We stayed in the Villa, rooms 24/25 and these were beautifully decorated with many small fabulous details. Very thought through. The manager is on site and this shows. Staff highly trained and very friendly always genuine with a smile. The pool area is lovely and again staff excellent. The whole Villa and the Spa and the surrounding Park is stunning. The food is delicious from breakfast to lunch to dinners. Excellent shuttleservice 15/20 min several times a day into Florence. We travelled as a family with adult children. Everyone loved our stay.

This is the ultimate luxury experience! the service is impeccable, the accommodations - luxurious - but the staff put it over the top! My partner owns luxury resorts in the Caribbean and we truly do know 5/6 star accommodations and service and this resort surpasses that. If you are considering staying in the Florence area, do not miss this gem. The food is amazing as well and this trip was with my daughter in law and granddaughter and we all loved it! i just feel bad that our husbands were not here with us to also enjoy!

This is one of the most beautiful hotels we've stayed in. Room 24 was quiet and the bathroom was large. We sat by the pool, had happy hour on the patio and the staff was very attentive. Even the happy hour snacks were luxurious. Highly recommend!

Beautiful hotel set in fabulous gardens on the banks of the River Arno. Cocktails of an evening are a great way to start, before dinner. The service at the hotel is of the highest quality from arriving at the reception, while dining or having drinks.

Hotel is located about 15 minutes outside of Florence located along a river. ( frequent shuttle service available). Country like setting among lush landscaping, gardens, green paths and cypress trees. Our room was a spotless suite, with a comfortable bed, marbled bathroom, with a free standing tub, lush toiletries and towels and windows that reminded me of the Austrian Alps that opened to views of the green grounds and river views. More closet space than one could ever need. Twinkling lights blanketed the stone walkways at night. So perfectly stunning and romantic. Staff were so courteous , polished and pleasant and helped support you with any request you may have had. Dinner was delicious as was breakfast. Small bar was lovely for after dinner drinks as well. A large outdoor pool with an adjourning cafe completed the space. Lite fare / late lunch and drinks in an open air setting were perfectly casual and just what we needed. Indoor common areas were cozy, comfortable and interesting. With grand books, statues and works of art to complement the plush furniture. If we return to Florence, without a doubt we would stay here again.
