Montecatini Terme is a stunning spa town that is situated in the Valdinievole area, near Pistoia and Florence and is most famous for its thermal waters. In fact, it is probably the biggest “spa town” in Italy.

In addition to the spas and thermal waters, however, the town itself is a simply beautiful and relaxing place full of lush and leafy green parks, extraordinary Art Nouveau buildings and charming shops, bars, restaurants and hotels. It is the perfect place to well and truly get away from it all, unwind and relax. Just find a luxury villa in Montecatini Terme and find your own zen on your next vacation!

Of course, the thermal waters and spas are the main things to draw people to the town – and with good reason! One can ingest the waters or do spa treatments such as massages, saunas, facials and more. There are nine thermal centres located in the extensive thermal park.

For our final post on the top spas in Tuscany, we have chosen two more of the most particularly beautiful spa towns in the region.

It was a difficult thing to narrow down as a little known fact about Tuscany is that it is home to a multitude of freely accessible natural hot springs, which prompted the establishment of world-renowned and world-class spa destinations.

These towns combine all the typical charms of Tuscany – the historic and scenic settings, the culture, the slower pace of life and the delicious food and wine – with the perfect relaxation offered only by spa destinations. If you are in need of an opportunity to truly kick back and unwind, there really is nowhere better as a holiday destination.

Continuing our listing of the best spas in Tuscany, we have two more examples of Tuscan spa towns with unique and scenic settings, wonderful facilities and long histories.

After long days of museum hopping, trying out all of the local cuisine and delicacies, browsing shops, and dashing around, there could be no better way to fully relax and make the absolute most of your holiday in Tuscany than by visiting one of the region's famous spas, going for a soak and maybe getting a massage or facial while you're at it.

Enjoy the Tuscan pace of life, slow things down and make some time for yourself and you are sure to return from your holiday completely revitalised and relaxed.

In the previous article we discussed the importance of kicking back and relaxing on holidays. No matter how many museums you want to see, shops you want to visit or dishes you want to try, it's best to take it easy for at least a little bit of your holiday.

Tuscany, though the pace of life is calmer than most of us are used to, can encourage running around like a headless chicken as there is just so much to see and do and you're sure to want to do it all.

Luckily, however, it is also the perfect region in which to balance it out with some days of pure and utter relaxation as there are many wonderful and historic spa towns with natural hot springs and top-notch facilities dotted all over.

Sometimes a holiday in Tuscany can involve so much running around from place to place, lining up for museums and planning that it isn't actually all that relaxing. If you're the type that prefers to do nothing at all during a vacation than to spend all your time exploring, you might consider checking out a spa town and getting away from it all. Tuscany is home to a whole host of beautiful, characteristic spa towns with natural hot springs and wonderful facilities that have been attracting visitors from near and far for centuries.

Just find yourself a holiday rental in Tuscany and spend some time soaking in the warm waters, getting a massage or a facial, dining on good food and forgetting the outside world for a while in one of the following spa towns. Or, if you've got money and time to spare, maybe you could even do a tour of the towns.
