This lovely family operated /owned hotel has been my pick in Italy for over the past 10 years. The charming hotel located below Montecatini Alto has been my personal retreat and get away. I always receive such great service and especially from Arturo, who's friendly face and professional manners have always greeted me at the front door. The location is superb, situated amongst a park and across the street from a beautiful spa where live orchestra and opera music can be heard in the mornings. Only a ten minute walk to the train station, where you can take day trips to Florence, Lucca, Pisa and many historic cities. My favorite restaurant is La Torre, only a few minutes on the funicular up to Alto for amazing views and fabulous food/wine. Ask Fabiano for his suggestions. The town is like a story book at night, with a colorful carousel lit up and children and adults of all ages having their gelato and strolling with family and friends. The Taddei Family have added the personal charm and service with their Father Guido and his Son Ciro at the helm of this beautiful property. Attentive staff, wonderful location and the feeling of Dolce Vita keep me coming back to this special place.. I'm already planning our next trip back to Hotel Astoria.
