The hotel is a 5-star hotel but a far cry from other 5-star hotels like the Hotel Excelsior Vittoria in Sorrento. But It’s modern and suits one’s needs just fine. We had a balcony with a wonderful view of Montercatini Alto. The location is ideal, a short walk down tree lined streets to the park and Ristorante Gourmet, perhaps the best meal we’ve had in Italy. The rooftop pool is small but sufficient enough for wading and sunning oneself with panoramic views. We opted for spa access and we’re extremely disappointed. The Turkish bath wasn’t working, the door handle on the ice shower is falling off, the emotional shower was barely a mist and pointless, and the jets in the main thermal pool were temperamental; They wouldn’t respond to us pushing the button to turn them on. The sauna was the only thing that seemed to be in proper condition.
