We loved our stay at Michelangelo! We think we got an upgrade because our room was huge and so was the bathroom. Beautiful view at the back where our balcony was, we saw Montecatini Alto. The bed very comfortable and beautiful and the whole room was beautifully decorated. Very nice receptionist at check-in. Good breakfast with quite a large selection. Lovely seating in the garden and so lovely to have a pool! Quiet location a bit from the center, but very close to the funicolare that takes you up to the incredibly beautiful Montecatini Alto. As I said, we loved our stay but there are a few things that could be improved for an even better experience:
* We had lunch both days by the pool and it was very confusing. The first day there was a guy who seemed very stressed and unfocused, he forgot to give us things time and time again, eg glasses. On the second day, I had to run all the way to reception and ask where the waitstaff was because it was completely empty when we sat down for lunch. The actual quality of the lunch is very variable, the pasta is very good but the salads are really not good; small, tasteless and "wrong" ingredients (fennel is not a salad for example).
* As I said, it is very nice to have a pool, but plastic sunbeds are really not nice!! No human can lie comfortably on such without a soft cushion! And there are also not enough sunbeds if the hotel has a lot of guests. My tip is really to change the sunbeds to fabric ones that are found everywhere else in Italy, and also to use the lawn to make room for more sunbeds.
Overall we had a wonderful stay and I would definitely consider staying at this hotel again!
