Montecatini Terme Top Rated Hotels

Where to stay in Montecatini Terme

By , About.com Guide

Here are top Montecatini Terme hotels based on guest ratings on Venere, a hotel booking site for Italy that I use myself. Montecatini Terme, one of Italy's top spa towns, has many reasonably priced hotels and makes a good base for visiting central Tuscany from Florence to Lucca and the coast. Here's a Montecatini map to help orient you to the town.

Grand Hotel and La Pace, a Leading Hotel of the World, is a one of the most elegant hotels in Montecatini Terme.  The historic Liberty-style hotel, set in a park in the center of town ,has a spa, swimming pool, restaurant, and parking. Over the years, many movie stars and famous people have stayed here and there are several well-appointed luxury suites. I was told by tourist agencies that this is the best hotel in Montecatini although it has not yet been rated by guests on Venere. I toured the hotel and was very impressed.
