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.

My wife and I stayed here as part of a Gate 1 tour. The hotel is beautiful. It is loaded with charm and character. The front desk staff were outstanding, friendly and helpful. The rooms are good size. The bed was comfortable. We were served breakfast every morning. It was delicious and plentiful. The tour included a couple of dinners. The food was as good as you got in some of the better restaurants in the town. The waiters were spectacular. We want to go back there now.

We stayed here for seven nights with a tour group. The public areas of the hotel are lovely, service from the folks behind the desk fine, and the two elevators actually work rather well, something of a rarity in Italy. Our main problems were with the food that we had in the restaurant, which was uninspired, and slow service cleaning our room. If we were not part of a group, we would look elsewhere for a hotel if we were to return to Montecatini Terme.

Our group was fortunate too spend seven nights in this lovely hotel. We were on the fifth floor and had a very nice room with french doors that opened out to the town. If you shudder at being across from an abandoned hotel with a disgusting sludge in a swimming pool, ask not to have that view. The biggest problem is no coffee in the room or available anywhere until breakfast opens and no iron. Also the pillows are rocks. The bathroom was very nice and oddly had nice linen hand towels - I hated to mess them up. The staff throughout the hotel is amazing. The breakfast buffet was outstanding, the service superb and the food in the evening was truly awesome. The sitting areas are elegant and refined. The bar area is amazing and lots of fun with a good selection of local wines.

We stayed here recently as part of a group holiday. First the good. The location is very central, the lounge is large and comfortable, the small pool area is well supplied with seats and the staff are helpful. Now the bad. The hotel website talks about providing vegan, vegetarian and gluten free diets. I'm both vegetarian and gluten intolerant. The gluten free bread and pastries I was offered were extremely poor quality packaged products, not made there. I like aubergines, courgettes, peppers and cheese, which was just as well as that was what I had over and over again. No risotto, no interesting bean dishes, no egg dishes, no capanata, no arancini. A salad of lettuce, a few olives and tomato, followed by soups (which were actually nice), then the aubergine and cheese offering. It was so disappointing. Then our room. We had upgraded our room, and when we saw it we checked it was the right room as although it was large it was greatly in need a a fresh coat of paint and the mismatched furniture was more second hand shop than carefully chosen eclectic.

From the hotel itself, to the food, the staff and the comfort, Hotel Francia e Quirinale is excellent. The staff consists of very friendly people, who take pride in their work to make guests comfortable and happy. In short order all knew my preferences and and quickly responded. I'm thankful I had the opportunity to enjoy a hotel of this level.
