Montecatini

Whether you’re looking for rest and relaxation, cultural exploration, or just love the idea of an idyllic, charming Tuscan town with some bustling piazzas, Montecatini has it all.

At the heart of Montecatini lies its historic thermal baths, where visitors have sought rejuvenation for centuries amidst the soothing waters. Renowned for their therapeutic properties since ancient times, the mineral-rich springs offer a sanctuary for body and soul alike. Immerse yourself in the soothing warmth of the waters and feel the stresses of modern life melt away, while the minerals work their magic, easing aches and pains and revitalising tired spirits.

Beyond its famed spa culture however, Montecatini offers a rich tapestry of cultural delights, from its charming piazzas where locals gather under the shade of ancient trees, to its labyrinthine streets lined with boutiques, cafes and artisanal shops.

Another delight which makes Montecatini one of our most charming destinations is Montecatini Alto, a medieval marvel of a town, frozen in time and perched atop a hill overlooking the main town. Accessible by a wonderful funicular ride, Montecatini Alto enchants visitors with its narrow cobblestone streets, ancient churches and stunning panoramic views that stretch as far as the eye can see.

But of course, the allure of Montecatini extends far beyond its own borders. With its conveniently central train station, the idyllic town serves as a perfect base for exploring the wonders of Tuscany, offering seamless connections to some of the region's most iconic destinations. From the Renaissance splendour of Florence, to the medieval marvels of Siena, from the vineyard-draped hills of Chianti to the coastal charm of Cinque Terre and not forgetting one of our favourite towns, Lucca. Montecatini really serves as a gateway to a treasure trove of Tuscan delights.
