Christmas in Tuscany
The owners are fantastic in every way. Strongly recommend letting them prepare at least one Tuscan dinner as part of your stay- you will be glad you did. The property is gorgeous and well furnished. The location is a bit out of town, so come prepared to bit of twisty driving. If you’re looking for a quiet and idyllic Tuscan experience, this is the place to stay.

Perfect home in the mountains of Tuscany
This was the highlight of our Italy vacation! I traveled with my parents and my husband, we had the entire villa to ourselves (including use of the pool, hottub, and sauna).
From the very beginning, Danny made us feel right at home. We highly recommend having the homemade dinner and cooking class with mum Beppina. It was a great experience to see mother and son cooking together and learn some of the tips and tricks to making handmade pasta and gnocchi.
We let Danny know that we had some dietary restrictions within our group and he was able to make a fully vegetarian 3 course meal for us with even some vegan options.
The house was as described and photos can not do the view justice. Waking up to the sound of birds and the sun coming up over the mountain side was priceless. This is a great location if you want to make a few day trips out to nearby towns, but mainly enjoy Tuscany. We went to Florence (Firenze) on two days which was about an hours drive away, but I would recommend staying in Rome for a night if you want to see the sights there.
If you have any questions about activities in the area or restaurant recommendations, Danny is very responsive and helpful. Don't hesitate to reach out even during your stay.
Overall, we had a wonderful week long stay and would definitely return again. Thank you for the memories Danny!

What a wonderful exerience !
I finally got known on how a lady last year could leave a nasty review o my place even without having confirmed no booking.
Here it comes that an inquiry of mine just to find out about HomeAway prices and procedures, inquiry that of course I have never confirmed ends up asking e how was my stay with myself in my own property : there is something wrong here people of HomeAway.
Do please check upon your procedures and controls.
Do please delete also that nasty revenging review of a guest that until 4 months after her stay which she judged "great", suddenly while I've realised that she had not paid and asked her the payment it became a nightmare .
At that time I've asked your assistance but you went on her side causing me big losses .
hank you for your attention on this
Kindest regards

Great house and the best host!
We absolutely loved our stay at LaMassa. The property is situated in a rustic setting with spectacular views of the surrounding mountains. It is wonderfully landscaped to provide a thousand beautiful spaces that highlight the gorgeous plantings and natural plants. There are a number of areas to relax and enjoy. The pool is amazing, offering a covered warm environment when needed on chilly days, but can be open on warmer days.
We loved to sit outside and hear only the rushing of the nearby stream, and at night see only the few dim lights of mountain cottages in the distance.
The house is well furnished, perfectly laid out to accommodate a few or many. The bedrooms were lovely, comfortable beds and we appreciated the en-suite bathrooms. The beautiful kitchen is well designed and equipped.
Danny is a gracious and accommodating host. The fantastic welcome basket of local products was greatly appreciated. Danny was very welcoming and attentive in orienting us to the property, the local attractions, and provided us with a lot of vital information that helped us during our stay.
While there, we took many day trips to the well known, popular Tuscan sites (Florence, Siena, Assisi, SanG, Montepulciano, etc); our favorite days were those that we spent more locally, spending more time at the house and visiting great local sites (such as Poppi Castle) that have very few other tourists.
We'd love to return someday,
Mike & Cindy P.

Great stay in the Tuscany
Let’s start with the house: it’s a beautiful place with everything you need. It has a swimming pool as you can see in the pictures and four terraces which give you the choice to sit in the sun or shadow anytime of the day, however you like it. We had a thunderstorm one night and still enjoyed our dinner outside on one of the covered terraces – perfect!
As one former guest has written, the villa is in the middle of nowhere. giving you a wonderful view of the nature surrounding it. It’s very quiet and private there so you can enjoy the wonderful evenings watching the mountains and forests. There are little villages nearby, however you definitely need a car to get around to do your grocery shopping.
We were a party of five and had three bedrooms and en suite bathrooms, so there never was any hassle who could go first in the morning. Everything is well equipped with tasteful furniture
We met Danny and Peter as our hosts who greeted us with a great welcome basket full of local products like cheese, ham, wine and more. Danny and Peter were both extremely friendly and helpful in any which way. If you need any advice or tips they will be there for you at all times.
We all loved our stay in the beautiful Tuscany. All that is left to say is: Mille grazie!

Top verblijf met een top gastheer
Wij hebben in dit huis genoten van alle faciliteiten die dit huis biedt. Het is een prachtig huis dat van alle gemakken is voorzien. Zo zijn er veel verschillende plekken om zowel binnen als buiten te zitten en te genieten van het uitzicht (je kijkt prachtig uit over de vallei). Daarnaast zijn het zwembad en jacuzzi ideaal om te ontspannen. Wij hebben hier een week gezeten en zijn amper het huis uit geweest omdat het huis zo fijn was.
Naast het huis word je heel prettig en gastvrij ontvangen. De gastheer (Danny) wachtte ons al met bubbels op om ons welkom te heten. Ook had hij een mand vol met streekproducten klaarliggen, om de eerste dag(en) goed door te komen.
Daarbij biedt Danny de mogelijkheid aan om het eten te laten verzorgen in het huis. Dit is een ontzettende aanrader voor iedereen die het leuk vindt om de traditionele Italiaanse keuken wilt proeven en van lekker eten houdt. De tafel wordt prachtig ingedekt, je krijgt meerdere hoogstaande gangen inclusief bijpassende wijnen. Alle gangen gaan gepaard met een leuke introductie.
Zoals je al uit voorgaande kan opmaken hebben wij ontzettend genoten van dit huis en Danny. Wij raden dit iedereen aan!

Abbiamo soggiornato in questa casa in occasione di un compleanno, già dal primo contatto i proprietari si sono dimostrati molto disponibili, non tutti gli host accettano gruppi di ragazzi giovani che intendono soggiornare per festeggiare. La casa, che dire, splendida, dotata di tutti confort che rendono il soggiorno magico. VERAMENTE MA VERAMENTE CONSIGLIATO. Non vediamo l’ora di poterci tornare.
Grazie ancora per averci dato fiducia e per i bellissimi ricordi che avremo di casa vostra.

FANTASTISCH
Dit jaar hebben wij voor het eerste een boeking gedaan via VRBO bij Casa La Massa. Ook was het voor ons een eerste directe boeking bij een particuliere host en waren we wel voorzichtig met klopt het allemaal wel, bestaat de woning, mag het verhuurd worden? Voorafgaande aan de boeking hadden we een zeer prettig contact met de eigenaar Danny. Er werd snel gereageerd en we voelden de positieve vibe van La Massa in de gesprekken die we hadden (vragen en beantwoording).
Op 8 augustus kwamen we na een lange rit aan het begin van de avond aan. We werden zeer hartelijk ontvangen door Danny en Tania, er lag een heerlijke welkoms mand klaar met wijn, pasta, olijfolie etc... We kregen een mooie rondleiding door het huis en voelde directe de warme Toscaanse sfeer in het huis en van Danny en Tania. Het huis was geweldig! Mooie schone kamers, veel ruimte en compleet ingericht. Een huis met enorm veel privacy waarbij mocht het nodig zijn je contact kan opnemen met Danny
Het zwembad was ook heerlijk, zeker met de overkapping (waardoor je de kinderen ook rustig konden zwemmen). Het zwembad is groot , mooi ingericht en heeft een schitterend uitzicht over de toscaanse heuvels. Danny, Tania en Marco maken je het volledig naar je zin en willen alles voor je uitzoeken of verzorgen. Zelf wonen zij beneden in het huis, maar je hebt volledige privacy doordat het bovengedeelte wat wordt verhuurd prive is gelegen.
Daarnaast kunnen ze een heerlijke Toscaanse maaltijd voor je verzorgen (absoluut een aanrader) en ook een kookles verse pasta met de moeder van Danny (Beppina) is iets wat je moet doen!
Wij hebben er twee weken heerlijk verbleven en het is een schitterend huis met de supermarkt (Lidl, Coop etc) op 15 minuten rijden. Deze liggen in Poppi of Bibiena.
De steden Arezzo en Florence zijn binnen het uur aan te rijden, dus echt afgelegen wil ik het huis niet noemen. Het is een schitterende prive villa wat alles wat je nodig hebt dichtbij is. Zo kan je in het typisch Italiaanse dorpje Castel de San Niccolo (5 min rijden) heerlijk Italiaans eten (pizza, pasta en vlees) en genieten op het terras van b.v. Street Saloon. Daar waan je je echt in het Italiaanse Toscane. Je zult nooit teleurgesteld zijn als je naar La Massa gaat!
Wij willen Danny, Tania, Marco en Beppina bedanken voor de geweldige tijd die wij bij hen hebben gehad en bedankt voor alle goede zorgen. Aan de mensen die twijfelen om La Massa te boeken, zeggen wij. twijfel niet, het is geweldig!

Relaxing days in a wonderful house in the "rainforest" in Tuscany
During the current Covid-19 situation, we decided last minute to spend some days in Italy. We are a family of four with two kids aged 7 and 10. As it was already autumn we were looking for a house with some facilities for the kids, e.g. covered pool (with the possibility to heat it up), hot tub etc. And, we found the Villa La Massa dei Mori – by the way, I never asked Daniele why it is called like that. When we arrived it was still a bit raining, and if you looked around the house there were only trees and with the rain and the fog it looked like being in the middle of a rainforest.
The house was exactly like it is shown in the different pictures. It is a little jewel in the middle of nowhere. We loved the nature surroundings, the silence, the peace, the privacy. Nevertheless, some really nice little villages are nearby such as Poppi, Stia, Bibbiena (approx. 10-20 min. by car) and even Arrezzo you can reach within a one hour drive. And, if you like hiking then this is the perfect place to explore the “rainforest”. We did some really nice hikes and started directly at the house. There are also nice hiking and bike trails around Poppi and Bibienna.
The house itself is wonderful and quite big with four terraces, three lovely bedrooms (each bedroom in another color) and ensuite bathrooms, a well-equipped kitchen with very nice colored Tuscan dishes including a dining table and a living room, and a second huge living and dining room (which we actually never used). One evening we were guests in our “own” rented house, and Daniele and Tania prepared a yummy dinner with starter, first, main, and dessert for us, and even served us. Thanks again for this lovely evening. Daniele is the host of the house, and he is great, very professional, flexible and always there for his guests. Thanks also to the rest of the family: Tania, little Gioia, Daniela and Marco.
All in all, we had wonderful days in a lovely house in the Tuscan “rainforest”, and due to the great weather on our last day, we decided to prolong and skip our departure to the next days, which luckily was possible.
Ancora una volta: Mille grazie per tutto, Daniele, e salutaci tutta la familia 😊

Sehr schöne Tage in einem Toskana-Anwesen in den Bergen
Das Anwesen war sehr schön gelegen und Abseits jeglichen Trubels. Da wir alleine waren (4 Personen) konnten wir den Pool den Whirlpool und alles Weitere alleine genießen. Daniele der Besitzer war sehr nett und aufgeschlossen. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt und uns gut erholt.
Daniele und Marco haben uns zum Essen eingeladen und für uns gekocht. das war ein sehr netter Abend.
