Set amid the rolling countryside outside Florence in a 25-acre private estate, Villa La Massa is an idyllic Tuscan retreat comprising several exclusive use villas on the banks of the River Arno. New for 2020 is Villa Hombert, an 18th-century country house that’s home to three private residences, stylishly fitted out in warm earthy tones and a combination of marble, wood and wrought iron for a rustic, elegant ambiance.
For Villa Hombert’s inaugural season, each of the one- or two-bedroom units, originally intended as long-stay apartments, are available for short stays, affording access to all the perks of the estate. In addition to the residences, Villa La Massa’s two standalone villas – the four-suite Casa Colonica and seven-room Villino – will be available for exclusive use bookings. The select few who secure reservations this summer will have access to a new swimming pool and L’Oliveto Bistrot, a relaxed Tuscan dining experience named after the olive groves that surround the estate.
