Moving towards Firenze with a stop for two nights in this spa town.
A ball of string town. Surprisingly interesting. Many grand hotels; a total of 200+ hotels in all. Hotels and spas. The reason to come here.
Wonderful hotel that upgraded us to a spa suite. Modern renovation done charmingly.
Terme: seven places to drink the waters. May have to have a doctor check you out first. At least two places for all types of massages, hydrotherapy, mud treatments, spinning bike in hydro pool,etc.
Tried the local Montecatini waffle,a flat, thin, filled, disk, lightly sugared. Called Cialda.
Hotel spa: very Italian. Sauna, not nearly hot jacuzzi, cold room with ice to splash on after sauna, emotional shower, turns colors as you stand there and get rinsed from several directions.
High end restaurant at the hotel.
