Owned by Villa d’Este Hotels Group and member of The Leading Hotels of the World, this fascinating Medicean Villa enjoys an enviable location on the banks of the Arno River in the heart of the Tuscan countryside. Villa La Massa is the perfect place to rest after a long day of touring in Florence, linked by the hotel’s private shuttle service which runs daily to and from Ponte Vecchio. 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”, open for dinner, offers the traditional Italian fine 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. Situated in the Noble Villa, the Medicean Bar offers a wide selection of grappe (Italian eau-de-vie), whiskies, brandies and cocktails. The 15th century cellar, located in the Mill is the perfect backdrop for business lunches and dinners or wine-tastings. For those looking for a full day of relax, a brand new stylish swimming pool surrounded by fragrant olive groves and Cypress trees and a modern fitness centre. The Arno SPA is a warm and informal welcome in an original Tuscan atmosphere, combining heritage with luxurious comfort. Inspired by the Tuscan fragrant flowers and aromatic herbs of the Villa La Massa gardens, the “Officina Profumo Farmaceutica di Santa Maria Novella” cosmetic line is available for treatments The elegance and intimacy of Villa La Massa makes it the ideal location for small and prestigious meetings up to 100 people. Guests can enjoy the tranquility of the bucolic country life and the taste of a bygone Era but with all comforts of modern facilities. The Corsini Room is located in the Mill, right next to the restaurant Il Verrocchio. It is ideal for hosting meetings, gala dinners, private parties, cocktails and wedding receptions in the charming atmosphere of the Chianti hills, on the banks of the Arno River.
