About the location
One of Tuscany’s most prominent spa towns, Montecatini Terme is an intoxicating blend of historic architecture, beautiful scenery and some great local attractions. The area has been inhabited as far back as 10,000 BC, thanks mainly to the impressive natural spa located in the town. Today, however, the town mostly dates from the medieval period, and offers plenty of historic sites for you to explore.
Like many of the towns in the region, this one is split between a lower and upper section, known as Montecatini Bassa (lower) and Montecatini Alto (upper). One of the best ways to go between the two sections is via the town’s historic funicular railway, which has been running since 1888. The upper town is most historic, with pretty cobbled lanes, stunning views and a 12th-century church. The town’s spas are also located here, and are some of the best known in all of Tuscany. While spa treatments have modernised, there are many original spas still standing, including the grand Tettuccio Terme – one of the region’s best.
Montecatini Terme is just over 40 minutes’ drive from Pisa and Florence, so you’ve got plenty of day trip options during your stay here.
Transfer time
Car hire is recommended for this hotel. Montecatini is 31 miles from Florence and 32 miles from Pisa. Simply call us once you’ve completed your booking and we will talk you through the options.

Just to say that we very much enjoyed our visit to Hotel Francia e Quirinale. The hotel is very comfortable but the outstanding quality is the friendliness and professionalism of the staff. In particular, we would like to acknowledge all the staff on reception and the courtesy and kindness of Roberto in the bar.
We are hoping to return to Italy in 2026 and hope that we will get to stay with this hotel again.

My husband and I stayed 7 nights with a tour group. The photos of the rooms are misleading. Our room had not been updated in decades and was a little small. No room for an easy chair or desk. Also, be aware that there is no kettle or coffee-maker in the room. If you want coffee or tea and it's not breakfast time, you would have to go down to the bar and pay for one. Those are the cons. On the pro side, the housekeeping was excellent, as was the service at the bar and the front desk. The staff are all very friendly. The people at the front desk and in the bar speak good English. Everything worked, including the A/C and the elevators. The bed was comfortable. Shower had great pressure. Nice balcony. Mini-fridge with bottled water provided in room. Breakfast was fine; nothing fancy. They had bacon and eggs, cold cuts and cheese, 2 kinds of juice, yogurt, cereal, croissants and salad. It was the same every day. No fried potatoes, olives or omelette station here. The restaurant's prices for dinner were high, but if you just want a pizza or a sandwich, the bar was pretty reasonable. Convenient location within easy walking distance of restaurants and shops.

The rooms at this hotel are the smallest we have ever experienced. In the first room we were allocated, we couldn't put our cases anywhere, the second, although a little bigger was still small, added to the fact that we were overlooking a busy road, where the fast/loud Italian car drivers tore up and down. The third we managed to shoe horn ourselves into. We only had two medium cases between us. We were part of a tour group and after a long journey, we decided to eat in the hotel. Never have we paid so much for so little. A plate of 12 thin slices of sausage and a piece of toast between us, two slices of ice cream the size of a slice of Battenburg cake, a glass of wine and a small bottle of sparkling water - Euro equivalent of ??50. The waitress was brusque and snippy. On principle we didn't buy anything at the hotel again in the 3 days we were there. There are other more reasonable eating establishments a short walk from the hotel.

Very nice, but ask for a room in the back or side of the hotel!

This was such a beautiful hotel, and an easy walk from the train station, the funicular to Montecatini Alto, the thermal baths, and the downtown area. The room was very clean and comfortable. They told us we were given a complimentary upgrade when we checked in. To be honest, I would have been fine if we had a non-upgraded room in the back of the hotel. It was so very noisy in the mornings (early) with the tour groups getting ready for their day. The street noise from them, garbage trucks, etc. just floated up and into the room. We were also surprised that they give you an actual key, on a very bulky key chain. Thankfully I had a purse to put it in, would have been uncomfortable in a pants pocket.
We had breakfast and dinner in the hotel twice. They had a very nice breakfast buffet. You have to find and ask a staff person for a cappuccino if you want one, it is not offered when you are seated. And don't leave your cappuccino there if you go up for seconds, they clear the table. They have American coffee in the pot to help yourself to. The dinners were very nice too. The first night we had a lady serve us (sorry, I don't remember the names!). The next time we at the gentleman was our server, and he was not very friendly or attentive.
Overall, the hotel is lovely, the location is excellent and I would definitely stay here again if I ever find myself in Montecatini Terme again!
