HIGH STANDARD APARTMENT in VILLA

Everything was okay

Claudio was always helpful and attentive with tips where to visit and to eat. The flat was spacious and clean and the bed very comfortable. A mousquito net on a couple of windows would have been good but generally we were very happy with the apartment.

This home suited our group of 4 couples. It was very clean and orderly. There is a locked outer gate, locked door to the entrance of the villa and a door to the apartment so we felt very secure. There were three short flights of steps to enter the apartment. There is a balcony with chairs to welcome you to relax outside. Claudio was very helpful in securing taxis to and from the train station and Florence airport. He also made restaurant recommendations. We enjoyed exploring this beautiful spa town and taking the funicular up to Montecatini Alto for the breathtaking views.

The apartment was very clean, tidy and comfortable. Claudio was extremely helpful with local information and gave us some good ideas of places to visit and provided train times for us. He advised us where the supermarkets were and recommended places to eat, offering to book tables in restaurants if we wanted. We chose Montecatini due to there being a railway station in the town and many places are accessible by a frequent train service. Pisa and Florence are only about an hour away. If using Pisa airport, you can use the Pisamover, a driverless shuttle train which takes you to the central station in Pisa. You can buy a through train ticket from the airport to Montecatini. The apartment is about a 15 minute walk from the train station, a 10 - 15 euro taxi fare. Montecatini Terme was an interesting place. We enjoyed an evening concert there which Claudio had told us about. He helped us get the most from the area.

Firstly, Claudio is a very helpful host, understanding when travel details are changed and a mine of information on both the immediate vicinity and the wider area - thank you! For a two bedroomed apartment it is generously sized and the terrace very spacious; when we went there was always a choice of sun or shade, giving lovely views over the town to the hills. Both the communal areas and the apartment itself were immaculate and are regularly cleaned. There is free off street parking but a car is not needed for sight seeing as the train station is easily reached - it was really useful to go to Firenze. The town offers lots of amenities - as well as others already mentioned we enjoyed the open air cinema. All in all - we had a lovely time - a comfortable home to return to after a busy day. We would be delighted to return again.

We just came back from Montecattini Terme where we spent 10 days. The city is charming and not too big to get everywhere by walking. We used all treatments such as drinking mineral water, took baths and had mud body raps, inhalation and sprinkling with mineral water! The food is delicious, fresh and not so expensive as we anticipated. The owner Claudio did everything to make our stay smooth and worry free. Villa is sparkling clean and offers Italian charm and comfort. Claudio's suggestions save us a lot of time and confusion. He provided us with maps, train schedule, arranged taxi rade from airport and on the way back,made local calls and even negotiated admition fee for local attractions. He lives on the first floor of the villa and always at your service. Depending on the size of your group you can rent 2-4 bedrooms and still have all common areas such as kitchen, living, dining rooms and balcony available for your use. Train rides are fantastically cheap. We took short trips to Florence, Lucca, Pisa and Prato for 6 to 3 euro per ticket. Taxi is always available. You do not need to rent a car. Thank you, Claudio! Viva Italia! .

Claudio the owner made us feel very welcome and is meticulous in his attention to details. He is also very helpful regarding the local area with good suggestions for places to eat and gives valuable advice on exploring the region. The apartment in this quiet area of the town is secure and extremely comfortable; great kitchen etc. We especially appreciated the air-con which kept us cool during the hot days. ....basically everything just works! The town is also rather a pleasant surprise , elegant and with good facilities. Also within easy reach of Florence and Pisa etc. In short I would say "well recommended".

We found the flat exceptionally clean, maintained to very high standards and the added advantage of help from Claudio whenever we needed it. We were made to feel at home immediately on arrival. The location is excellent to suit interest for all ages. Look forward to returning and would highly recommend this accommodation. The train station is within comfortable walking distance, the supermarket is 20 minutes walk, however we understand they will make home deliveries. Plenty of reasonably priced restaurants around. A visit to La Cascina Di Montecatini Terme is recommended.
