Montecatini Terme and surroundings

Montecatini Terme is a town in Tuscany famous for its beneficial thermal waters and marvellous Art Nouveau architecture. It is located in a fortunate position, surrounded by enchanting hills and not far from the art cities of Tuscany and the sea of Versilia.

Loved by nobles, intellectuals, artists and Hollywood stars, Montecatini Terme retains the charm and beauty that made it famous.

Elegant and quiet, it welcomes guests among the tree-lined avenues of the centre, the green gardens of the Thermal Park and the gentle countryside of the Valdinievole.

Hotel Settentrionale Esplanade is very close to the city centre of Montecatini, right in front of the Thermal Parke, one minute from the wellness center of the Terme Excelsior, a ten-minute walk from the splendid Terme Tettuccio with its hydropinic treatments, and from the Terme Redi that has a thermal pool and a physiotherapy centre.

Splendid examples of Art Nouveau architecture, the spas retain the decorations, furnishings and frescoes from the 1920s: entering the thermal baths is like entering a fairy tale.

To discover the famous people who once spent time in Montecatini and its thermal baths, just walk along Viale Giuseppe Verdi, just outside the hotel. Here on the "Walk of Fame" there is a circular plaque showing the date of their first visit: Giacomo Puccini, Audrey Hepburn, Grace Kelly, Coco Chanel, Christian Dior and in recent years Kobe Bryant, Laura Pausini, and Arnold Schwarzenegger, to name just a few of the over 200 personalities who have chosen Montecatini to enjoy the spas and the beauty of Tuscany.
