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.
