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.

5 stars isn’t good enough! This was my 2nd time staying here and I will definitely go back. The hotel is luxury mixed with cozy. The size of the hotel made us feel at home but also the luxury made us feel VIP. It was a slice of heaven. The food was amazing and location is perfect. Shuttle service to Florence is a quick 20 minute ride. The grounds made you feel like you were in the Tuscan hills. Fabulous!

We came here for the last stop of our Italian honeymoon and were certainly impressed by the property, amenities, room, etc. but we were truly enchanted by the staff who did everything to make our stay the most memorable of our lives. There are too many people to mention them all by name but particular standouts were the bartender Alessio who, over the week, took us on a tour of various Italian amaros as digestivos, Mattia who was always happy to chat with us about the latest events of the Giro in the spare moments when he was wasn't tending to guests, and Vassilios who, on short notice when a wine tasting wasn't available, helped us pick a few bottles and walked us through the tasting notes and experience. Never in my life have I felt so much at home at a hotel. Considering the price, I initially thought this would be a once-in-a-lifetime experience for us, but now I anticipate it may become a required stop on any future European vacations we take, because it was so, so worth it.

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.

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.
