We absolutely loved having a pool which had lovely surrounds and camping vistas of the manicured grounds. The courtesy shuttle was one of the main reasons we chose to stay here as it is about 15-20 mins drive from the centre of Florence. We would absolutely stay at Villa La Massa again if we visit Florence.

An Idyllic Start to a Tuscan Journey! I couldn’t have imagined a better place to begin a three-week vacation in Tuscany. Villa La Massa strikes a flawless balance between refined architecture, understated luxury, and genuine hospitality. The staff was both highly professional and warm, the gardens and pool area were immaculate, and the food was excellent. One detail worth noting — the pool was initially heated in late June during an intense heatwave, but after a simple mention, the team promptly adjusted the temperature. My only suggestion would be to extend pool hours in summer, especially when it stays light until 10:00 p.m. Overall, a perfect stay in every sense.

Great restaurant, awesome service in the restaurant and overall. Hotel is dated, pool cold and not heated. Suggested management invests into a pool heater so kids can enjoy the pool cause water was freezing. Rooms need updating badly. In room only tub, no shower. Remote quite area outside the city, tranquil and peaceful. Very relaxed atmosphere. Again, restaurant staff incredible, gourmet menu, great breakfast. Will definitely return but without kids. Highly recommend.

By far, the best hotel I've ever stayed at. The entire grounds, rooms, and staff were beyond what one could imagine. This hotel deserves its own rating as I really don't believe 5 stars describes it well. Location to Florence was a bonus but it was really hard to put the energy together to leave this hotel. The staff treat you like family and go above and beyond what i have experienced in other 5 star hotels. The only bad part was leaving.

Amazing grounds, but lacking

Gorgeous property and amazing staff. However, be advised that the ACs don’t cool the rooms below 78-79 degrees Fahrenheit. Breakfast was okay but the view from the dining room was breathtaking. Dinner was a huge disappointment, trying to be too fancy and forgot about flavor and that they are in Italy. The grounds are immaculate and the staff, though very understaffed, were very attentive. Tamara did the best she could to accommodate us. I would not recommend this place in the summer, maybe fall or spring. And don’t waste your time or money in the restaurant, go in to Florence where there are many great restaurants

The villa is dreamy. I wished we could have tried the spa but there were so many places to see we never had the time. I would comment that the bar prices and the restaurant prices were extremely high. We never ate dinner at the restaurant. We ate at restaurants in the area instead. I have to say in nearly three weeks of traveling in Italy and staying at different levels of luxury, la Massa had the least impressive scrambled eggs, which I thought odd for such a lovely hotel. And because of its location by the Arno river rehabs, the mosquitos in October were not welcome guests in our room...and they don’t use screens!i wish I had brought some of my insect repellent impregnated clothes that I had just used in Africa the month before. That aside, I would love to return to La Massa and just chill....
