The hot springs of Montecatini have been famous since the 14th century but reached international fame at the turn of last century. In addition to the quality of the facilities offered by various establishments, the resort has an elegant look with many Liberty style buildings, large parks and tree-llined avenues reminiscent of some famous alpine resorts. The proximity to important Tuscan art centres and additional attractions such as the golf course and racetrack, make Montecatini a preferred holiday destination in Tuscany. From Montecatini you can easily reach Monsummano Terme with its spectacular natural caves, Pescia with its renowned flower market, the 18th century Villa Garzoni surrounded by a marvellous garden in Italian style, and the monumental complex dedicated to Pinocchio. In addition the area surrounding Montecatini holds many itineraries including medieval castles and villages which dot the quiet green peacefulness of Val di Nievole.
