Five-star luxury in Florence
Craving a luxury Tuscan retreat, but also want to combine a city break? This five-star hotel is a luxurious country resort, but at the same time, it’s just a 20-minutes drive away from the fascinating city of Florence. The exquisite Renaissance-era estate offers a relaxing retreat on the banks of the Arno River, and is nestled among lush gardens and the rolling Tuscan hills – it’s the perfect blend of historical charm and modern elegance, providing an unforgettable experience in Tuscany.
The hotel is made up of a Medici villa that dates back to the 16th century, along with its charming outbuildings – expect old-fashioned, Florentine-style luxury. Across the complex, there are 51 elegantly appointed rooms, suites, and private villas, each uniquely decorated with classic Florentine furnishings and equipped with modern amenities, such as free wi-fi, flatscreen TVs, and air conditioning. The rooms offer stunning views of the river, gardens, or surrounding countryside, creating a serene and picturesque ambiance.
If you’re looking to unwind, you can relax at the basement Arno Spa, which offers a range of treatments and wellness therapies. There’s also a heated outdoor swimming pool in the gardens, and a well-equipped fitness centre – there are also running routes in the extensive grounds, and you can rent a bike to see the surrounding area. The concierge team can also arrange bespoke experiences, from wine tastings in the Chianti region to guided tours of Florence’s artistic treasures – you’ll be well looked after.
And dining at Villa La Massa is a culinary delight. The hotel’s exclusive restaurant, Il Verrocchio, serves delectable Tuscan and Mediterranean cuisine overlooking the river, or in the charming indoor dining room. For a more casual setting, L’Oliveto bistrot offers light snacks and refreshing cocktails by the pool, and Bar Mediceo, set like a jewel in the main villa, offers a range of carefully crafted drinks. There’s also a wine cellar, because this is Tuscany, after all.
