Hotel Da Vinci

My initial reaction was disappointment, we booked a “Premier double room with balcony” but I wouldn’t say there was anything premier about it. The place is looking dated and I wouldn’t say say very basic. My first disappointment was that there was no aircon in the room, the ventilation fan wasn’t working and when questioned with the night receptionist we were just told “not possible”. I asked if they had electric fans and was told “not possible” so the only way to sleep was to leave the balcony door open - the room is on a busy and noisy street so we were kept awake most of the night. I asked if it was possible to move rooms - “not possible”. On the 3rd night they fixed the ventilation fan in our room and we were able to drop the fan temp down to 20, still not ideal but better. The hotel is well located, easily got to via train from Pisa airport, and Montecantini Alto made our holiday! We found Montecantini lacking in good choice restaurants (everywhere seems to have the same menu choices). We fancied the pool but it’s a bit of a walk from the hotel, on the roof of another hotel, incredibly tight for space and NO SHADE!! Not great in 32-35 degree heat. All in all disappointing and definitely not what I would class as 4 star or premier

Great location for travelling around Montecatini and Florence and Siena. Great restaurants and coffee stops.

Smelly room- dirty floors- not 4 star

Just back from five days in Montecatini. It’s an excellent location for travel into Florence, Lucca and Pisa. Train travel is very reliable at cheap. €5.60 to Florence. Much easier than driving into the city. The hotel is located near to the town centre, a little noisy in the evening. However, closer to the restaurant. Fred Erika is worthy of a mention. She will advise you of the sights to see and how best to travel. Excellent all round.

Rooms, service, location and food was great. The only thing I’d note is there was no iron, only an ironing service. This meant you had to wait until the following day to get anything back.
