Hotel Da Vinci

The staff were very helpful. However, the shower cabin was narrow and uncomfortable. Slippers, toothbrush and shaving kit are not provided at all which is surprising and uncomfortable for a 4* hotel. I didn't like breakfasts, what they do with eggs is unappetizing.

Good location

This is a lovely and peaceful hotel in the heart of Montecatini Terme. It is perfectly situated to access both train stations (5 minute walk), the station for the funicular that take you up the mountain to the wonderful views at Montecatini Alto (15 minute walk) as well as the many thermal spas (18 minutes). There is a massive park, a theatre where you can listen to some opera or you can hop on the train and be in Florence in 50 minutes and the line also goes to Lucca and Prato. I booked tours to Chanti and Pisa that both had pick ups close by. They have a lovely reception area and outdoor area to relax in. I found the hotel clean, peaceful and convenient. Do note that the swimming pool is in another building and shared by hotels. The breakfast buffet has something for everyone, pastries, pancakes, eggs done three ways, bacon, yogurt, cereals, fruit salad. The waiting staff were always so friendly and efficient. I did not eat lunch or dinner there but the dinner menu was always on display and you can let the receptionist know if you want to attend it was 30 euros for three courses at the time I was there. There are lots of restaurant options both close by and in the town centre from budget to fine dining. There are also two supermarkets (Conad city) very close by so the first thing I did was buy myself some milk, beverages and water to go in the mini fridge. A kettle was available in my room. The shower in the bathroom is a little narrow so if you are of larger build you may want to consider this. The smart TV is not connected to the internet - I really don't know why in this day and age. I have never enjoyed watching the news back home when I am on holiday, I would much prefer a bit of Netflix at bedtime. Lots of plug sockets available in the room - three prong sockets. I would definately stay here again and feel I got value for the money I spent.

From the moment we arrived we were so impressed with how friendly the staff were, from front of house to the waiting staff etc. The hotel was very clean in all areas. Every day the staff cleaned up the hotel room and changed our towels if needed. The pool is in a separate building but this worked out well. We were able to get onto the rooftop at 8:30am. They could easily fit more deck chairs around the pool - it was often hard to find somewhere to sit. Dinner was eaten in the Boston hotel which is opposite. We selected our meals each day and the food was lovely. I am dairy free and they catered for me brilliantly. Breakfast was eaten in our hotel and was a selection of fruits and pastries each day. This was harder to be dairy free but again the staff tried to accommodate me as best they could. At the end of our stay we had to pay the bar tab for our drinks which we had had at each dinner time. Each day we had a big bottle of water, a coke and a beer and for 6 nights this came to 65 euros, including the city tax! Very impressed with that. Location was brilliant, easy walk to both stations and the bus station, and easy to access the funicular. Would definitely recommend this hotel.

Loved this hotel! The staff were cordial and helpful. The restaurant offered a nice variety of meal options. The room was spacious, very comfortable and very clean. The location was perfect and walkable to shopping and restaurants. If we return to Montecatini we will stay here again!
