Montecatini is a small town where time seems to have stopped. The clock hands are still to indicate the early years of the last century, years in which spa tourism flourished in Italy and Montecatini became one of its capitals. During a holiday in these parts you will thus have the opportunity to visit establishments such as the Terme Excelsior, where you can immerse yourself in the healing waters, see the rooms of the ancient casino and appreciate the architectural structures inspired by the Florentine Renaissance.
This area is also famous for the delicacies it offers: Montecatini waffles, filled with Apulian hazelnut cream, or Lamporecchio brigidini, with a slight aroma of anise.
