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....

Excellent intimate hotel within 15 mins of the city and vineyards of Tuscany; the staff are extremely personable and really take care. We are clients of their sister hotel Villa d’Este in Como and would highly recommend Villa la Massa as well; feels like its your own home; we have already booked to return with friends.

Magnificent!!
My wife and I spent part of our honeymoon at this magnificent hotel. The attention from the moment we walked into the property was beyond spectacular. The staff is extremely helpful, kind, caring, and beyond attentive. We had breakfast every morning at their beautiful restaurant which overlooks the Arno river and the food is so delicious. We also had an exquisite dinner on Saturday evening with exceptional service and attention. There is nothing bad we can say about this beautiful property and their staff. The reception desk, the wait staff at the restaurant, and management are all passionate about making sure every single guest leaves wanting to come back. To say the least, we did not want to leave and will be sure to come back soon.

One of the nicest places I've ever stayed
The pictures don't do this hotel justice, it is so fabulous, straight out of a movie. Built in the 1500's by a cardinal, this hotel is reminiscent of a countryside castle, but scaled down, and very tasteful. Classical music plays throughout the lobby, bar and restaurant. I will never forget how fabulous this hotel was, and how fabulous they treated us. Bravo!
