Built in the 13th century as an enchanting country house for an aristocratic Florentine family, Villa La Massa was owned by European aristocrats until 1948, before it was transformed into a luxury hotel. After a complete renovation, it reopened and its hundred-year-old history lives on, with every nook telling us tales of Renaissance splendor and the lifestyle of Florentine aristocrats. A proud member of The Leading Hotels of The World, Villa La Massa has been part of Villa d’Este Hotels since 1998. Majestically sitting on the banks of the Arno River, in the heart of the Chianti wine region, Villa La Massa is just a few kilometers (15 minutes by car) from Florence’s city center. This architectural gem is a world away from the hustle and bustle of the city, an oasis of peace and serenity immersed in a 25-acre park. The Tuscan countryside extends all around as far as the eye can see: olive trees, vineyards and cypresses fill the landscape with their unique colors and scents. Our rooms are ideal for hosting meetings, gala dinners, private parties, cocktails and wedding receptions in the charming atmosphere of the Chianti hills, on the banks of the Arno River.

The Corsini Meeting Room is located in The Mill, right next to “Il Verrocchio” restaurant.
The room is divided into two areas:
– Corsini A is more intimate and features large floor-to-ceiling windows providing direct access to the garden, where it is possible to organize coffee breaks or cocktails.
– Corsini B is wider and its columns, furniture, coffered ceiling and antique fireplace perfectly respect Villa La Massa’s Renaissance ambiance.
Both rooms are fully equipped (sound system, microphones, projector, screen, flip chart boards) and are immersed in the amber light of the Tuscan countryside which floods in from the wide windows directly overlooking the Hotel’s gardens.
