Celebrated for the healing properties of its thermal waters, which have long drawn visitors from across the globe, Montecatini, a ‘twin-town’ of ancient hill-top settlement and modern spa below, is a perfect choice for a truly relaxing stay in the heart of Tuscany, with a host of activities in which to pass the time, both within the resort and further afield.
As well as the famous spa baths and its many health and beauty practitioners, Montecatini boasts beautiful parks and gardens, stylish shops, countless restaurants, cafés, trattorie and gelaterie. A sightseer’s delight, highlights of the lower town include ornate fountains and grand Viale Verdi, named after the opera composer who was a frequent guest. For the energetic, there are tennis courts, bicycle hire and a fine golf course, and of course you should visit upper Montecatini Alto, reached by one of the world’s oldest funiculars. Doing absolutely nothing other than taking in the Tuscan sunshine is perfectly acceptable, although no stay in Montecatini is complete without a visit to one of the lower town’s spas.
