Grand Hotel Croce di Malta - Wellness & Golf ★★★★

Considered the largest spa town in Italy, Montecatini Terme is a Tuscan treasure and rural paradise. Whether you are looking to experience the healing powers of thermal waters, wander the flourishing verdant vegetation, indulge in delicious authentic Tuscan gastronomy, or marvel at the antiquated architecture, the town guarantees an unforgettable holiday.

A blanket of ubiquitous green illuminated by golden morning light is an unbeatable view to wake up to - Grand Hotel Croce di Malta Wellness & Golf's spacious and bright rooms are wonderfully peaceful, boasting breath-taking views of the town and gentle rolling hills. With a nod to classic Italy, they encompass ultra-chic design and elegant marble ensuites.

Unwind in the American Bar overlooking the azure pool, sipping a pre-dinner aperitif to the soft sounds of relaxing background music. A trendy setting, its large windows make it wonderfully illuminous; meanwhile, the skilled bar staff create innovative, exquisite cocktail creations - be sure to try the "Ciòccolami", a unique fusion of rum, dark chocolate, banana creme and drops of balsamic vinegar.

In terms of gastronomic offering, guests are invited to indulge in traditional Tuscan recipes in the elegant restaurant; a refined space enrobed in soft magnolia and vibrant red, it features stylish design elements and precise attention to detail. In the summer months guests can enjoy the meat, fish, and vegetarian specialities al fresco on the idyllic and stylish poolside terrace, indulging in dishes such as Robespierre steak, Livornese dried and salted cod, and pumpkin half-moon ravioli. Sojourning in a region famous for its wines, no meal at ‘Le Anfore’ is complete without a fragrant, renowned wine from the four-star hotel’s well-stocked wine cellar.

Evoking an air of unadulterated tranquillity, the Thai Silk Spa is the answer for undisrupted rejuvenation; offering a range of treatments, a heated pool, bio-sauna and steam bath, it is a hub of relaxation. However, for a little less ‘Zen’ and a little more ‘zest’, the Grand Hotel Croce di Malta Wellness & Golf Fitness Suite is fully equipped with new modern facilities; or take advantage of the bicycle and mountain bike rental service and explore the verdant encircling area.
