Owned by the Villa d’Este Group, this fascinating Medicean Villa enjoys an enviable location on the banks of the Arno River, just in the heart of the Tuscan countryside. Villa La Massa is the perfect place to rest after a long day of touring in Florence. The hotel’s private shuttle service runs daily to and from Ponte Vecchio, perfect to enjoy the splendour of Italy’s most beautiful city and the tranquillity of the countryside. The hotel features 51 rooms, divided between 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.
