Montecatini Terme, Tuscany
After arriving in Milan on day 2, enjoy Italy’s picturesque, mountainous countryside as you drive to ancient Montecatini Terme (about 220 miles), where you’ll stay at the 4-star Grand Hotel Plaza Locanda Maggiore. As Tuscany’s biggest spa town, it’s a great place to pamper yourself with a massage, mud bath, or facial. Head to Terme Tettuccio, which dates back to the 15th century, to bathe in healing, salt-sulphated waters. In between treatments, take a stroll through the spa and its gardens, which earned the nickname “Temple of the European Thermal Energy” for its architectural beauty.
This destination’s central location also makes it a great launching point for exploring greater Tuscany. We’ve outlined some recommended destinations below.
- The leaning tower of Pisa, officially entitled the Piazza del Miracoli, is about 70 miles outside of Montecatini Terme. Pisa is also home to the University of Pisa, which counts several Nobel Laureates as alums.
- See Michelangelo’s David and tour the Duomo, one of the world’s largest churches, in Florence (65 miles). It’s about a two-hour drive, or you can take a train in.
- Greve in Chianti: Tour the artisan and food shops of medieval Greve, which is considered the gateway of the wine-growing Chianti region. Also nearby is Montefioralle, a fortified village that claims to be the home of famed cartographer Amerigo Vespucci (90 miles).
- Siena offers palaces and the world-renowned Piazza del Campo, the site of the Palio Horse Race. Siena’s city center is also a UNESCO World Heritage site thanks to its well-preserved medieval, Gothic architecture (160 miles; about 4 hours).
Cardano al Campo
On day 7, you’ll drive to Cardano al Campo, located just outside of Milan in the northern Lombardy region. You can stop in nearby Parma or Milan during the 240-mile, roughly 4-hour drive. Your flight back home will take off from Milan Malpensa Airport on Day 8.
- Parma is one of the world’s great culinary destinations, as it’s known for Prosciutto di Parma and Parmigiano Reggiano cheese. Visit the Parma Cathedral, which is considered one of Europe’s most important medieval monuments.
- Milan is known worldwide as a fashion hub, but shopping is only one of the city’s many charms. See an opera at La Scala and tour the gothic Duomo cathedral, which is even larger than the church in Florence.
- Hotel ibis Milano Malpensa Aeroporto: Grab a drink at the bar and toast to a great trip before heading up to your contemporary room.
