I’ll be going there in January. I’m so excited. What is it like in winter?

Thank you for watching! We were not in Montecatini in the Fall. The weather is chilly but not as cold as Northern Italy. How long will you stay?

This is a very classic and tradiotnal town from what I see .... My attention was captivated by Terme Tuttuccio and the Cable car.

Thanks for watching. The hike next to the Funicolare di Montecatini Terme, cable car, was our favorite as you can see at 10:26

@@BigSmallTravel It looks quite steep I would have taken the cable car instead. Ha! 🤣 Nice though.

What is the weather like in Nov? what month was this filmed?

Thanks for watching! We were in Montecatini in late May and early June. The weather was a little cool but starting to get warm. Tuscan winters are chilly and rainy. November is a nice time to travel because there are less tourists around in general.

Great video, I stayed in Montecatini last year, going back next month as loved it and great to visit other places from. Could you tell me the name of the Pizza place you went too and where is the cafe Sweet please. Many thanks 😊
@BigSmallTravel8 ай бұрын
Thank you, we appreciate the kind words. The name of the pizza place is Pizzeria Da Simone, which is located in central Montecatini-Terme. Cafe Sweet is a little away from the center at Viale Balducci 9, Montecatini. Are you visiting Montecatini soon again?

Beautiful place. I know Sweet and the big spa.

It sure is, and just a joy to walk in mostly if all as well. Tettuccio as well as the Montecatini Alto hike were wonderful. Have you been to Montecatini?

What is the main train station? I believe there are two in town? A realtor suggested we put this town on our 'visit' list when we are in Florence this fall. She believes it's a great location if we want to be between Lucca and Florence.

Thanks for watching! When are you visiting Montecatini? We stayed near Montecatini Centro. This station is the smaller train station. Yes, there are two train stations in town, Montecatini Terme and Montecatini Centro It is definitely a great location to be for easy access to both Lucca and Florence. We were staying near the Centro station and honestly, it was probably our least favorite thing about the town! It is tiny and the machines never worked. The Terme station is bigger and probably better to use. That said, the trains were usually timely and when we had to take a bus during a train strike it was a smooth process. We would definitely put this town on your “visit” list and we recommend walking around all the different areas, especially north of the center and around Parco delle Terme. Enjoy your trip to Tuscany and let us know what you think of Montecatini! and is situated close to the centre of the town, just a 2 minute walk to Piazza del Popolo.
