Luxury Holidays At Villa La Massa

Immersed in the heart of Tuscany, just six miles from the historic centre of Florence, this beautiful 13th-century Medici palazzo and estate is nestled right next to the Arno River, surrounded by hills and over twenty acres of lush gardens full of lemon and olive groves. Three ochre and pink-coloured villas - the original Noble Villa, the Mill and the Villino - one traditional farmhouse, Casa Colonica, and the new two-storey Limonaia villa house the guest rooms and suites. Each is individually designed in classic renaissance and contemporary style and offers breathtaking views over the river or Tuscan countryside. Villa La Massa is the perfect place to rest and unwind after a long day of touring the area or sightseeing and shopping in Florence. This delightful retreat also has its own chapel and boasts the same renowned service of its sister hotel on Lake Como, Villa d'Este, which has earned it a place as a member of ‘The Leading Hotels of the World’.

This marvellous fortress palace, with its impressive 94m-high tower, was designed by Arnolfo di Cambio between 1298 and 1314 for the city government. It is still home to the mayor’s office and municipal council today, and from the top of the tower you can get unbelievable panoramic views over the stunning city. Inside, you are greeted with Michelangelo’s Genio della Vittoria (Genius of Victory) sculpture that is situated in the remarkable Salone dei Cinquecento, an ornately painted hall.

Palazzo Vecchio
Shopping

Florence was the birthplace of Italy’s fashion industry. Notable fashion houses such as Guccio Gucci and Salvatore Ferragamo opened haute-couture boutiques in Florence in the 1920s and, ever since, fashion has thrived in this fabulous Tuscan city. Wander down Florence’s most famous street, Via de’Tornabuoni, the home of Salvatore Ferragamo’s first property. Via de’Tornabuoni also houses Gucci, Emilio Pucci, Versace, Roberto Cavalli, Hermes, Pomellato, Tiffany & Co, and Cartier to name a few.

Visit the impressive Basilica di Santa Croce - that was designed by Arnolfo di Cambio between 1294 and 1385 - boasting a fantastic neo-Gothic facade that is inlaid with varying shades of coloured marble.

The Galleria dell'Accademia is another fantastic gallery that was built to house one of the Renaissance’s most iconic masterpieces, Michelangelo’s David. His most famous and challenging work of art, this extraordinary marble sculpture boasts impressive detail and a glimpse is well worth the queue!
