About Montecatini Terme
Montecatini Terme is the main town of the Valdinievole, in the province of Pistoia rather than Florence, and a spa town fed by around ten thermal springs. Most of its spa and historic buildings are Art Nouveau, set among large thermal and public parks, and the tourist part of town is about 1.5 km across, so walking is the easiest way round. Tettuccio is the best known spa, and the town is part of UNESCO's Great Spa Towns of Europe. A funicular dating from 1898 climbs to the medieval hilltop village of Montecatini Alto, with a square of restaurants and pubs. The homes are spread around the town and its edges, most with a private pool and some with a sauna. Many sleep six or more, with a few for large groups. In the evening, the historic bar at the Tettuccio spa serves drinks with music.
