About the Hotel

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.

Paradise in Florence

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 12 hours ago

It was one of my favorite hotels ever! Place is truly spectacular! The service, the meals, the rooms were a 11/10. Can’t wait to go back.

Superb in every aspect

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 1 day ago

We stayed at Villa la Massa for our baby moon until recently and we are so sad to leave. We have stayed at the hotel many times and we are always bowled over by how fantastic the hotel is particularly the staff who surpass every expectation consistently over any stay (particular thanks to Elisa who looked after us so well on this occasion). The food is wonderful and the facilities are luxurious. The hotel itself is so tranquil and always offers the perfect environment for relaxation even when the hotel is full. We could not recommend this hotel more highly and if we could give higher scores we would. Can't wait to return in 2026 with an additional guest.

The Jewel just outside of Florence

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 3 days ago

If you are looking for a true diamond only 10 minutes from Florence Villa La Massa is your spot. No better way to embrace Florence and Chianti. From the second you arrive you feel like you have been transported into the most serene, elegant warm property just outside of Florence. The property, staff and proximity to wineries and Florence makes Villa La Massa the best choice for a get away. You do not need to worry about how you will get to Florence as the Villa La Massa elegant vans are available from morning to late night everyday

Truly outstanding!

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 2 weeks ago

We first stayed at Villa La Massa twenty years ago, on our honeymoon and so, the hotel holds very special memories for us! We have returned a few times over the years and on our last trip, brought our two daughters with us. The hotel is absolutely worthy of it’s 5 stars. The location is perfection, nestled in the Tuscan countryside and on the banks of the River Arno but only a short ten-minute transfer into Florence. There is a complimentary shuttle bus which runs throughout the day. The staff are wonderfully attentive, the perfect balance of professional and friendly. They really go the extra mile to make their guests feel special and nothing is too much trouble. We have known Tamara, the Resident Manager since 2005 - she is a gem and everyone’s friend! The Hotel Manger, Elisa was also so friendly and approachable, making efforts to speak to hotel guests at breakfast. Everywhere is immaculate and beautifully decorated. The rooms are equipped with everything you could think of. All in all, Villa La Massa is a luxurious joy to visit and we can’t wait to return!

Villa La Massa- authentic and extraordinary

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 4 weeks ago

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.
