Beautiful Villa La Massa recalls the Florence of the Medicis: a stately Renaissance mansion in the Tuscan countryside, surrounded by pristine nature.
EXPERIENCE
Villa La Massa makes you feel like you are in a movie, or a dream - perhaps because it began its life as a Medici villa in the 16th century. Home to aristocratic European families over the years, this Tuscan countryside manor was transformed into a hotel in 1948.
Iconic names like Clark Gable and Elizabeth Taylor have vacationed here, and the moment you arrive, you'll understand why. The 35 gorgeous rooms and suites of the Villa La Massa overlook 22 rolling acres of lemon trees and olive groves: a perfect countryside location, the Villa is an idyllic escape from the bustle of daily life.
Any Tuscan vacation necessarily involves fine food. Villa La Massa 15 minutes away from the center of Florence, replete with culture and bars perfect for apperitivos. The hotel is also close to the Chianti Classico wine region; take a tour, and bring back a bottle. And try out on-site Il Verrocchio, which serves traditional Tuscan dishes using vegetables from the Villa's garden.
