Villa la Massa - One of the Leading Hotels of the World

Set on the banks of the River Arno, a 2 minute walk from our Florence tennis centre, the Hotel Villa La Massa is a fascinating 16th century Medici dwelling. With its 500 years of history it tells tales of Renaissance splendour and the lifestyle of the Florentine aristocrats.

Two Villas, dating back to the days of the Medici (16th century): the Noble Villa (Villa Nobile), the Old Mill (Vecchio Mulino) and the more recent little Villa (Villino) are the highlights of Villa La Massa which, from an ancient dwelling of the aristocracy, was turned into a hotel in 1950. The hotel offers its guests 37 rooms, all different from one another, and all recently refurbished in the traditional Florentine style. The spacious and airy rooms are decorated with antique furniture, fabrics woven at the historic Florentine textile mills, wrought iron and woodwork from the famous old-time Florence cabinet makers. Bathrooms and their fittings are done in a style reflecting the atmosphere of times gone and are fitted with Carrara marble. Most have windows framing the beautiful Tuscan landscape.

The hotel also boasts a Beauty Centre equipped with state of the art exercise machines and audio/visual, it has also a treatment room in which we offer a wide selection of massages, manicures and pedicures may also be arranged. During the summer time enjoy the tranquillity of Tuscany's countryside and indulge yourself by experiencing a massage under the garden gazebo.
