Grand Hotel Francia & Quirinale in Montecatini-Terme

Stayed here for 5 nights which were very enjoyable. All staff very pleasant and helpful. We were upgraded to a suite. Nice to have a separate area to sit after a day out in the 40+ degree heat. Our room was comfortable and clean. Enjoyed breakfast but choice quite limited. We were some of the few guests that seemed to use swimming pool which although small it was always easy to get sunloungers and pool itself was very welcoming in the heat. Centre of town not far away and plenty of restaurants to choose from. A trip to Montecatini Alto is highly recommended. Very difficult to get taxi back from funicular station however but ticket man at the station didn’t give up trying for us, for which we were very grateful as my husband with a recent leg injury would not have been able to walk.

Located in a quiet part of town and yet only a few minute's walk to the center, this hotel has always exceeded our expectations over the many years we have used it for both pleasure and business. As tour guides and travel organizers we have experienced a lot of hotels over the past 30-some years but Grand Hotel Francia e Quirinale stands out on many levels, from the warm welcome at reception, to the cleanliness of the rooms and premises, from the spacious bar and lounge area to the traditional Tuscan food served at the restaurant. Of the 6 hotels we have used in Montecatini Terme to accomodate our small groups of American travelers over the years, this hotel remains, by far, unparalleled. Among many other friendly staff members, thank you to Martina and Fabio at reception, Roberto at the bar and Giuseppe the restaurant maestro!

Stayed here for three nights whilst visiting Florence and Pisa as part of a Travelsphere tour. We only had breakfast in the hotel but there was a decent choice of food. The staff were nice particularly the barman who was amusing and tried to teach us bits of Italian. We had evening meals at other close by restaurants in the town. Our room was overlooking the terrace roadside seating area and the street but we never heard any noise whatsover when sleeping at night. It is only 15 minutes walk through the local park to the lower funicular station that takes you to Montecatini Alto and abot 6-7 minutes into the town centre.

This hotel is in the perfect location, a few blocks from restaurants and the main shopping hub. Also, easy walk to the train/bus station, Funicular and Terme Tetttucio, previous spa and noted for their water.

I cannot fault this lovely hotel. Spotlessly clean, amazing comfortable bed, lovely selection at breakfast, friendliest staff and perfect location. Highly recommended if you would like a base to explore Tuscany - easy walking distance from the train station and lots of lovely bars and restaurants. Grazie for a wonderful stay xx

I spent a week at the Francia e Quirinale Hotel in Montecatini and let me tell you what a wonderful experience I had. It made my trip so special! Firstly, the location is ideal—a perfect base for daily trips to all the popular destinations in Tuscany, such as Florence, Pisa, Lucca, and Siena. What’s especially nice is being able to return each evening to the peaceful and relaxing environment of Montecatini, away from the busy tourist crowds. Train station and bus station are in walking distance with plenty of rides every hour. If you want a lazy day instead, the hotel also has a.pool! The town itself offers a surprising number of excellent restaurants, all in walking distance. You’ll get a true local experience. Try the steak! Be aware that you’ll be jailed if you ask anything cooked over medium rare. So choose wisely. Moreover there are quite a few lively bars for an aperitivo or a nightcap close by. The city is very quiet during the day but unexpectedly it turns quite buzzy at night, very fun! If you are looking for a night in, get spoiled by the staff and enjoy the stylish hotel lounge. The vibes are classic but modern, chic but cozy. Literally obsessed with the upholstery and the trimming of every piece of furniture! Food, drinks and service are top notch. From the huge continental breakfast, to the delicious meals prepared daily by the chef, to the cocktails made by the amazing Roberto. As far as my room, I booked a single with a balcony on a side street so it was super quiet, breezy and bright. All amenities were provided, including a Tv, a safe and a mini fridge, which was so convenient! I haven’t mentioned yet what truly made my stay unforgettable though and the main reason why I am writing this 10/10 review. THE STAFF AT FRANCIA E QUIRINALE! ALL members of the staff went the extra mile to take care of me. From the reception team ( so helpful and funny) to housekeeping team, (spotless venue) to the breakfast ladies (so so lovely!) to the gentlemen in charge of the restaurant and bar (first class service) Can’t say enough good things about them. Professional, attentive, kind but most importantly, genuine people. Including the trendiest and most hospitable mother and daughter duo: Anna Maria and Alessandra, still running the family hotel after many generations. Anna ❤️❤️ They all made me feel more like a guest in someone’s home rather than a guest in a hotel. So thank you to Giuseppe, Catia, Fabio, Viola, Roberto, Martina and all the rest of the wonderful people that took care of me. Forgive me if I forgot to mention some of you by name, you were such a big team! Kudos to you all for your great work! Can’t wait to be back. Love, Emma.

This property was, overall, really nice! The pool was wonderful, especially in the heat wave, and the free breakfast was a nice option to have. Staff was wonderful, and the location is very walkable. The biggest complaint is that the bed was hard as a rock! And the sheets were very starchy and stiff. We had to ask someone for a mattress topper, which they somehow remedied, but were a bit shocked.

Just to say that we very much enjoyed our visit to Hotel Francia e Quirinale. The hotel is very comfortable but the outstanding quality is the friendliness and professionalism of the staff. In particular, we would like to acknowledge all the staff on reception and the courtesy and kindness of Roberto in the bar. We are hoping to return to Italy in 2026 and hope that we will get to stay with this hotel again.
