The hotel is situated near the park and the center of Montecatini terme. It looks nice from the outside, it has a small lobby with a cafe and the breakfast room. My room was ok, nothing special, but the towels were a bit strange, like kitchen towels not bath towers. it had a small LCD TV with mostly italian channels. Food for breakfast was ok, there was enough. The night receptionst (I think he's from the Phillipines) was very nice and kind. all in all, ok for the price.

Stayed here for a 2 night stay as part of Shearings Rome Sorrento and Capri 14 day tour. We were changed to this hotel at the last minute.

Room was small and so was the shower, luckily we are not large people.

As for my meal, I state I am vegetairian, do not eat meat but will eat eggs, chesse and fish, so hardly a hugh problem.

The first night I got a plate of cheese for my main course, and the second night NOTHING, that is right absolutely NOTHING, it was a good job I had a starter and dessert. I am going to complain to Shearings, but I expect either no repsonse or the "special requests cannot be guranteed" from them. The Shearings driver claimed he has asked the hotel to do me aubergines, on the night I got nothing.

Other than the mould in the shower and the tea towels for drying with, this was a basic comfortable hotel close to local amentities.

I would not recommend it to vegans, well not if you travel with Shearings as you will starve!

And this was not a cheap holiday coming in at nearly £1000.00 per person for the tour.

We stayed as 2 adults and 2 children. the room was small, it was originally made for double bed but they added a bunk bed. the breakfast was basic, but the staff was kind. it takes 1 hour to go to firenze. Montecatini is a nice place as well, we ate at CECCO in a nearby village (maybe PIACE). you should try chicken cooked between hot stones.

My husband and I stayed at this wonderful hotel just over a year ago - - and we're thinking of going back! I kept trying to find the hotel on TripAdvisor and finally realized that it isn't listed in the correct town . . . which is understandable with so many little villages - each so picturesque and quaint - where does one end and the next begin?

Anyway, the location is perfect - near the center of town (Chianciano Terme), close to shopping, restaurants, spas . . . but still not overly crowded or loud.

The room was just lovely - big, comfy bed, nice sized dresser with lots of drawers, pretty oriental rug on the hardwood floor, telephone, television and a pleasant view of the hillside with a large window to let in fresh air. The bathroom was well-appointed (though it would have been nice to have a shower curtain) and beautifully tiled. The "entrance hall" housed two built-in wardrobes.

The only draw back (and its a slight one) is that the staff speaks limited english - - especially the "evening" staff. Communication was at times COMICAL, but we managed.
