Grand Hotel Francia & Quirinale

Immerse yourself in the verdant, tranquil beauty of Italy's Tuscan region, just a short trip from Florence and Pisa, and enjoy the comforts of Grand Hotel Francia & Quirinale. In the heart of Montecatini Terme, a town legendary for its healing natural hot springs, this beautiful hotel invites you to escape to picturesque wine country. Rooms are elegant in simplicity, with a cozy warmth, vibrant flower prints, and balconies allowing cool breezes to flow through while providing wonderful city views. Stretch out by the pool under the warm Tuscan sun, sipping a cocktail, or indulge in a massage and rejuvenation spa treatment with the thermal water from the springs. Stroll through the park nearby, past murmuring fountains and streams, and play a friendly tennis match at the central tennis club. Take a leisurely morning to tee off at Montecatini Golf Club, playing 18-holes amidst emerald rolling hills, then enjoy a family trip aboard a hot air ballon high above the countryside. Venture out to explore the surrounding country on a sublime wine tour, complete with cheeses, chocolates, and cured meats, or take a family day trip to Florence or Pisa from the conveniently located train station, with trains departing every half hour. Return to the hotel, a Summit Hotels & Resorts property, part of the Preferred Hotel Group, in the evening for a true taste of Tuscan cuisine, relaxing in the dining hall where the chef's menu changes daily, providing a wonderful sampling of local flavors.
