Montecatini Terme Trips & Tours

Tuscany's belle époque spa town of healing waters, grand hotels and unexpected glamour.

Once the playground of European aristocracy, this thermal spa town retains all its art nouveau swagger with none of the stuffiness. Picture palm-lined boulevards, Liberty-style architecture dripping with frescoes, and mineral-rich waters that have been drawing the health-conscious (and hypochondriacs) since Roman times. But scratch beneath the genteel surface and you'll find buzzing aperitivo bars, fantastic restaurants that locals actually frequent, and a funicular railway that whisks you up to medieval Montecatini Alto for sunset views. It's wellness with a wink – therapeutic waters by day, Tuscan wines by night.

Why you'll love it

Why you'll love it

The perfect antidote to Tuscany's tourist trail – pamper yourself in thermal spas, then feast like a local in trattorias the coach tours haven't discovered yet.

Off the beaten track

Off the beaten track

Skip the famous Tettuccio spa for the locals' favourite, La Salute – smaller crowds, the same miraculous waters, and you can still admire the grand architecture from the outside.

Something to think about

Something to think about

Those "healing waters" are rather unpalatable – think warm, salty eggs. But hey, Verdi and Puccini swore by them, so perhaps genius requires sacrifice.
