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.

Stayed here for three nights whilst visiting Florence and Pisa as part of a Travelsphere tour. We only had breakfast in the hotel but there was a decent choice of food. The staff were nice particularly the barman who was amusing and tried to teach us bits of Italian. We had evening meals at other close by restaurants in the town. Our room was overlooking the terrace roadside seating area and the street but we never heard any noise whatsover when sleeping at night. It is only 15 minutes walk through the local park to the lower funicular station that takes you to Montecatini Alto and abot 6-7 minutes into the town centre.

We enjoyed a recent two weeks stay in Montecatini and loved this hotel! Fantastic location for the railway and bus stations and also the funicular railway up to Montecatini Alto and wandering around the beautiful park. The food for breakfast and evening meals were all excellent and the staff at Francia Quirnale are all wonderful, particularly Doreen , Guiseppe and the restaurant staff and the cheery barman, Roberto. The beautiful lounge area was perfect for relaxing before or after dinner and the pool area was always clean and well maintained.
Our room faced the busy road at the front but we were not disturbed by the regular coming and goings of tourist coaches. Our bed was super comfy but we did have two slight niggles about the room. There was only one chair on the balcony and also no hooks , eg on the back of the door , to hang damp towel after a shower. But this is truly a fabulous hotel where guests are made to feel so welcome and relaxed, making for a wonderful holiday!

I spent a week at the Francia e Quirinale Hotel in Montecatini and let me tell you what a wonderful experience I had.
It made my trip so special!
Firstly, the location is ideal???a perfect base for daily trips to all the popular destinations in Tuscany, such as Florence, Pisa, Lucca, and Siena. What???s especially nice is being able to return each evening to the peaceful and relaxing environment of Montecatini, away from the busy tourist crowds.
Train station and bus station are in walking distance with plenty of rides every hour.
If you want a lazy day instead, the hotel also has a.pool!
The town itself offers a surprising number of excellent restaurants, all in walking distance. You???ll get a true local experience. Try the steak! Be aware that you???ll be jailed if you ask anything cooked over medium rare. So choose wisely.
Moreover there are quite a few lively bars for an aperitivo or a nightcap close by.
The city is very quiet during the day but unexpectedly it turns quite buzzy at night, very fun!
If you are looking for a night in, get spoiled by the staff and enjoy the stylish hotel lounge.
The vibes are classic but modern, chic but cozy.
Literally obsessed with the upholstery and the trimming of every piece of furniture!
Food, drinks and service are top notch.
From the huge continental breakfast, to the delicious meals prepared daily by the chef, to the cocktails made by the amazing Roberto.
As far as my room, I booked a single with a balcony on a side street so it was super quiet, breezy and bright.
All amenities were provided, including a Tv, a safe and a mini fridge, which was so convenient!
I haven???t mentioned yet what truly made my stay unforgettable though and the main reason why I am writing this 10/10 review.
THE STAFF AT FRANCIA E QUIRINALE!
ALL members of the staff went the extra mile to take care of me.
From the reception team ( so helpful and funny) to housekeeping team, (spotless venue) to the breakfast ladies (so so lovely!) to the gentlemen in charge of the restaurant and bar (first class service)
Can???t say enough good things about them.
Professional, attentive, kind but most importantly, genuine people.
Including the trendiest and most hospitable mother and daughter duo: Anna Maria and Alessandra, still running the family hotel after many generations. Anna ????????????
They all made me feel more like a guest in someone???s home rather than a guest in a hotel.
So thank you to Giuseppe, Catia, Fabio, Viola, Roberto, Martina and all the rest of the wonderful people that took care of me.
Forgive me if I forgot to mention some of you by name, you were such a big team!
Kudos to you all for your great work!
Can???t wait to be back.
Love,
Emma.
