Hotel berhampiran Fontana Guidotti, Montecatini Terme

What a lovely hotel, we stayed here for a week and from the moment of arrival the staff were really pleasant, nothing was too much trouble. The room was very clean as throughout the whole hotel and the small honesty bar allowing us to take a bottle of wine or beer outside or to the room was a lovely touch. Breakfast was nice and once outside the hotel montecatini is a very relaxing place to stay with great transport links to florence and lucca as well as the very slow pace of life in the town itself. Though only a relatively small town there is plenty to do with plenty of good restaurants at reasonable prices, natural spas and a funicular railway that takes you up to a part of the town up on a small mountain with great views. Should we come to tuscany again(which is highly likely) we wont be searching for hotels, we will just look for availability here. If we could give it more stars we would!

I booked a five night stay here with Tailored Travel. The website of the hotel really raised expectations showing light and airy rooms with beautiful drapes. After paying a hefty single supplement our rooms could not have been more different . The first one I was shown had a tiny skylight with an odd net drape. Im fairly short so couldn't see out. You had to duck under this curtain to walk around the bottom of the bed. No wardrobe just a rod with some hangers. I refused to stay there. The second room offered was in the lower ground floor. The ” French ”door could hardly be opened as there was an electric car charger just outside in the car park. The bathroom was tiny and narrow. I measured it and it was approximately two A4 sheets wide. Anyone over 5foot 3 would have hit their knees on the towel rail using the loo or bidet.. Other single rooms for solo occupancy were equally as poor. Either no chair, no dressing table unit no proper window etc just an unpleasant place to stay. Beds are rock hard. Totally unacceptable accommodation for a hotel purporting to be 4star. The website shows a kettle with cups and one assumes coffee and tea would be provided as is the norm on a hospitality tray . When we queried where the coffee and tea was we were told coffee was available from a vending machine on the first floor ! However this wasn't sachets etc but actual coffee. Why provide a kettle but nothing to use with it ? Food for the party was very average. Maybe the al la carte was better. Most of the waiting staff were off hand. Once when I asked the waitress for something it was almost slapped down in front of me . One waiter only actually used to smile at us when we walked into the restaurant and was helpful and friendly. I wish I had found out his name . We did not feel very welcome. Amazingly on our last night the waiting staff became very attentive and we then noticed the tip envelope on our table. Pity they hadn't been like it all the way through our stay. There seems to be mention of a spa but this was shut and looked like it had been for a long time. Maybe if you book this as an individual you might have a better stay. If you're travelling with a party and also paying a single supplement AVOID. Maybe other nationalities had better luck and Hotel Tettuccio ( I won't use Grand it isnt ) thought because we were English we wouldn't complain . WRONG.

Stayed here with my wife for two nights. Our host Lily was very welcoming on our arrival. The room we selected was a Double with Lakeview. The room was small and basic with no wardrobes but it was adequate as we were there for the Pool. The Pool was beautiful and a great size for doing a few lengths. The property is about 20 minutes walk from town and down a steep hill. I would not advise anyone to stay there without a car as public transport and taxis are very scarce and unreliable in the area. Walking home at night is dark and scary and not advisable. We ordered breakfast as an extra for €8.00 per person which consists of croissant,juice , yogurt and banana and coffee. It was fine The accommodation is basic and they could do with a drinks service in house as it's not worth taking your life in your hands walking to town. There was no hot water to shower and when we contacted our host Lily he was not very helpful and seemed to insinuate that we had used all the hot water. He was very helpful though by giving us a lift to catch a bus in the morning as we would have been stuck without his help The pool was the highlight of our stay but vast improvements need to be made in the accommodation and the services offered to guests Lily did his best but we felt he was always very stressed Mark

Just returned from a three night trip, this hotel was amazing and what we wanted, it’s in the centre not far from the cable car and close to the train station we visited Luca and Florence during our stay, the staff are what make this hotel so very friendly and helpful nothing is too much trouble. Ricardo took time each day to advise on times of trains restaurant choices and guided us on what todo with our short stay. Gabriele was amazing too very helpful and arranged our shuttle transfer prior our arrival, the room attendant was also lovely and attended the room always leaving lots of clean towels and the room very clean this hotel made our stay, thank you Ricardo for all your help and We would definitely return

Quaint hotel with cozy comfort. I am diabetic so breakfast was a challenge. There were many pastries, meats, and fruit. Dining alfresco was lovely. There is a pool, and it seemed dogs were allowed in the rooms. If you are an opera fan on Tuesday evenings in September and October there is a concert at the hotel, 20 euros. They sand the most favorite arias and some Neapolitan songs.

We were travelling with a Collette Tour who chose this hotel as our home base while exploring/touring the Tuscany area. The hotel was very accommodating to the 44 Americans on the tour. Daily breakfast was great with many choices. The location is within walking distance to the piazza and many local restaurants. The rooms were small but provided everything that we needed.

My husband and I spent 2 days at this hotel although we paid for three. We ended up leaving a day early to stay at a nearby hotel with a pool and free breakfast and a view. So the positives of this hotel: - the AC - we were there in July so it was HOT - there is a gym. It’s small and for some reason, the AC was not on the 3 days we used it so it was like a sauna, but there is a gym. - relative close proximity to restaurants and beach. Very walkable. Negatives: - COST. Of everything. We ordered 2 coffees to be delivered to the room. It cost 20 euro. - Breakfast was not included in the cost of the room. - no one explained anything to us when we checked in. No how to get on the wifi, no how to call the front desk, no nothing. The check in was very abrupt. - the room was in the lower level of an adjacent apartment building. And it backed up to the train tracks. Fortunately, the trains are not very loud but still, you can certainly hear them - the pillows and the beds - FLAT. Hard. But in all fairness, I can’t say we had soft mattresses or pillows in any hotel we stayed at this trip. - no view Overall, I wouldn’t stay at this hotel again. It was comfortable and met the basics, but way too pricy for what it was.

I was quite surprised (to the negative) by this hotel. Based on the website, the listing on Mr & Mrs Smith, and the nature of it being a 5 star hotel, I expected a little bit more. It was overall quite random, and in a very random location. Perhaps we didn’t use it correctly given it’s a wellness resort of sorts but I found it all very bland and underwhelming. We arrived on a Thursday through Sunday and felt no vibe or atmosphere in the restaurant, gardens, wet area and it all felt a bit desolate in all honesty. The lobby is almost non existent, a sparse area not used particularly well and the reception area a lonely desk and a seat off to the side and not a very welcoming space. Again, perhaps we were hoping for a different vibe but perhaps not to be expected at a wellness resort. We found the pool and spa area a bit outdated and the outdoor pool area was very sheltered and no where to lay in the sun. We’d booked a studio suite on the 4th floor which was spacious and nice but lacked any character/warmth and was quite dark with small windows. We had a lovely dinner meal from the restaurant that we ate in our rooms due to having our baby with us. I ordered the ravioli and there were only 6 ravioli in the plate which I was a little bemused by although it was tasty! Very tiny portions. Alas, the staff were lovely and very helpful and accommodating, unfortunately the hotel overall was disappointing and sadly we won’t be coming back.

Hotel situato a pochi minuti dalle mura della città, struttura nuova e molto pulita. Le camere sono ottime ed il personale molto gentile ed attento.
