 Montecatini
Terme is an Italian district of 21,095 inhabitants within the
province of Pistoia in Tuscany. The most important center in
Valdinievole. The town is located at the eastern end of Piana di
Lucca and has a strong vocation for tourism, as well as industrial
and commercial industries based around the spa, which in turn has
increased the interest for hotel accommodation in the region.
Montecatini has been described as a treasure chest rich with
fascination and culture at a stone’s throw from the main Tuscan
art cities. This charming town reconfirms its role as the capital of
thermal treatments and spas, where a vacation can be spent in total
relaxation to recover one's full well-being. Flourishing green parks,
thermal establishments fully equipped with state-of-the-art
technological facilities, a long-dated hotel tradition: a whole set
of win-win solutions able to guarantee visitors a most pleasant stay.
Those who are keen on the magical atmosphere of the belle époque
can visit historical socialite locales, such as the Caffè delle
Terme, the Locanda Maggiore, the Gambrinus arcades, and the thermal
establishments frescoed and decorated after the Art Nouveau style.
Those who wish to ‘take a break’ can turn to the several sports
facilities, the hippodrome, the many elegant boutiques, premises
devoted to leisure time and amusement, special events and festivals
where high quality music plays a key role, in accordance with the
tradition of a town that hosted the great Giuseppe Verdi. And then,
an array of excursions around the neighborhood, such as Montecatini
Alto, where the town hall had its seat until 1905. Just reaching
this historic old town aboard the oldest funicular in the world is a
thrilling experience not to be missed. Likewise, you will be
astonished once you reach the top as a spectacular view of downtown
and the entire Valdinievole valley opens up before your eyes.
