A lyrical masterpiece: Celebrate the genius of Giacomo Puccini with included tickets to the 72nd edition of his namesake festival in Torre del Lago. Depending on your dates, you will be swept away by the dramatic intensity of the opera Tosca, on July 31st, or the heartbreaking beauty of Madama Butterfly, on August 22nd. To ensure a seamless evening of culture, your experience includes return transfers from your hotel to the venue.
-
A lakeside stage: Your evening unfolds at the Gran Teatro all’aperto Giacomo Puccini, a spectacular open-air arena perched directly on the banks of Lake Massaciuccoli. As the sun sets over the Tuscan landscape, the natural surroundings provide a sensory backdrop to the music, with the gentle lakeside breeze and the scent of the nearby sculpture park heightening every note. It is a rare chance to see these operas performed just steps away from where the Maestro lived and found his inspiration.

Classic Tuscan comfort: When you aren't being swept away by the drama of the stage, you'll find a refined base at Hotel Boston, a charming family-run gem in the heart of the historic spa town, Montecatini Terme. You might spend a lazy afternoon soaking up the Italian sunshine by the rooftop pool, before heading to the restaurant to savour the rich, authentic flavours of the region. The elegant guest rooms offer a restful sanctuary, featuring warm tones and classic décor that capture the sophisticated spirit of this legendary thermal destination.

Montecatini Terme, Tuscany
A centuries-old hotspot for European elites, Montecatini Terme is a captivating Tuscan town that nourishes visitors with its charm, culture, and therapeutic thermal waters. Coined by UNESCO as one of Europe’s great spa towns in 2021, the town is brimming with spa-tacular self-care sanctuaries, from Terme Tettuccio to Terme Excelsior. Spend your days pampering, or unwinding in one of the town’s tranquil parks. Then, hop on the historic red Funicular and ascend to Montecatini Alto - a hilltop village boasting panoramic views. Once you’re up there, you’ll be greeted by a medieval village and a glimpse back in time, filled with charming cobblestone streets, medieval architecture, and an ancient castle.
If you fancy a change of scene, Montecatini Terme’s fantastic position in the heart of Tuscany means that you’ll be close to the best of it all: from the rich culture of Florence to the pastel-hued hillside houses of Cinque Terre. Hop on a local train and see what gems you can discover. With Pisa, Florence, Pistoia, Lucca, and Cinque Terre all within reach, your very own Italian Renaissance is only a scenic train journey away.
