We spent 6 nights here on our first vacation in Europe from Canada and the apartment served our needs completely. Easy Reserve, the rental agents, were very good to deal with, providing information ahead of time on buses from and to Florence and from Montecatini Terme to Montecatini Alto.

The location is magical. Montecatini Alto is a very old hilltop village, looking out over the Tuscan countryside. The Piazza has four restaurants, a small grocery/convenience store, and a wonderful gelato shop, as well as the usual souvenir shops. There is regular bus service to Montecatini Terme, public parking near the Piazza for cars, and to top it all, a funicular that runs every half hour until midnight (except for the usual mid-day lunch break) to get you down to Terme and back.

Everyone we met there was warm and friendly, and made us feel very welcome.

The apartment is well appointed, with modern appliances and updated finishes. We spent a lot of time on the balcony gazing at the vistas and listening to the church bells, the roosters crowing, and people below going about their lives. It was wonderful.

We rented a car to take day trips to Lucca, Viareggio and Castelnuovo di Garfagnana. The road to Alto is hilly and twisty but we got used to it right away and we could be in Terme within ten minutes.

The owner doesn’t speak English, and our Italian is even worse, but he was lovely to deal with and we managed with hand gestures, sketches and Google translate. Be sure to ask him about the art in the living room. He arranged for a taxi to take us all to the train station when we were leaving, and because the taxi could only take four of us, he drove one of us down himself.

If we get the opportunity to return, we would definitely stay here again, and we highly recommend this apartment to others.
