Villa La Massa

Villa La Massa, just 15 minutes from Florences historic center, offers a refined retreat immersed in nature and Tuscan charm. This elegant estate blends haute hospitality with countryside serenity, while remaining seamlessly connected to the city thanks to a complimentary shuttle service running daily to and from the Ponte Vecchio. Surrounded by 25 acres of grounds, 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. Il Verrocchio restaurant embodies the essence of regional gastronomy, where cuisine becomes a reflection of the land and its most authentic roots. Just steps from the pool and surrounded by the quiet of the gardens, LOliveto Bistrot is set within a former stone hayloft, now transformed into an intimate and relaxed space. The cuisine reflects a bright and contemporary Mediterranean approach. For those looking for a full day of relaxation, an outdoor pool, a modern fitness center, the Arno SPA, mountain bikes and running trail are all available on the property.
