Francia & Quirinale is one of our favourite hotels in Montecatini. It’s got a lovely modern style with inviting public areas. The lounge has comfy sofas and an elegant décor with well-chosen antiques – we love chilling here with a drink before dinner. The rooms all have parquet floors and large windows that let plenty of light in. The staff are great too and the family who’ve run this hotel for four generations know how to make every guest feel special.

You’ll be well located here to explore Montecatini and further afield. The hotel’s just a short walk from the centre of town and close to the thermal spas – a must do while you’re here. The train station is within walking distance and there are regular trains to Florence, Lucca and Pisa. When you need to relax, the hotel’s pool is a great place. It’s lovely and peaceful with plenty of loungers for everyone. The pool bar serves drinks and light lunches so you won’t need to move if you don’t want to.
