Hotel Minerva Palace, Montecatini, Italy - WOW! I have been to Italy several times in different locations - Milan, Torino, Naples etc. This was my first trip to Montecatini and Cinque Terre. Our Hotel was HOTEL MINERVA PALACE, Montecatini. This hotel is a GEM - quiet, clean and located in the middle of town and close to everything, walking mostly. This hotel also has a large parking lot, available on a first come basis. Upon arrival, we parked on the street overnight and was given a parking spot next morning. We were warmly greeted at the front desk by wonderful staff. The reception area was a treat for its decor and cleanliness, most welcoming. The staff were very polite and our check-in smooth. This hotel was perfect, it had two elevators to help with our luggage etc. Our room was clean and elegant with all the comforts like home. We had breakfast (included) daily in the dining room, very elaborate - all coffees, teas, fruits, croissants, pastries (baked on premise), yogurt, ham, cheese, bread for toasting etc. Lunch and dinner is also provided with reservation ( very delicious meals and price friendly). To me, the convenience, home made-food and hospitality was worth ALL. The room-cleaning staff made our room daily. We were able to travel conveniently by train to Cinque Terre, Florence, Pisa etc train station was less that 5 minutes walk from hotel. There were many beautiful shops, pharmacies, boutiques, restaurants etc in the neighborhood. Of course, I had to be close to some of the best pizzas and Risotto. It is important for me to acknowledge all the staff - especially Franco and Mariano, whose names are easy for me to remember and their staff at Hotel Minerva Palace, Montecatini, Italy for the most memorable and enjoyable stay at their hotel. I recommend Hotel Minerva Palace to families, also. During our stay, we made friends with many guests from Austria, USA and other countries. Thank you, Minerva Palace Hotel for a wonderful and loving experience and memory.
