Villa La Massa, Candeli
- The hotel was the site of musician David Bowie's wedding to supermodel Iman.
- The hotel sits on a high river bank buttressed by an ancient stone wall. Broad lawns, cypress trees, flower beds, and a vine-covered chapel highlight the grounds. Open from late March until early November, this hotel attracts an international clientele seeking rest and relaxation in the sun-drenched Tuscan countryside. Guests are near enough to Florence to tour the city and then escape from the crowds.
- Surrounded by a river-view sundeck with cushioned lounge chairs, the heated, freeform outdoor pool is open from May to September. Terrace dining features river views and live piano music, with candlelit tables under a vaulted ceiling also available. Complimentary bicycles are provided for touring the Tuscan countryside.
