Montale accommodation from NZ$166

8 kilometres away from the main part of Montale is the Hotel Villa Cappugi. The Canto alla Porta Vecchia is positioned 9 kilometres away. Some other hotel and apartment options worth checking out around Montale include the B&B Palazzo Sozzifanti and the Agriturismo Amedea.

The wider Tuscany area is definitely worth spending some time in also. Check out the ruins, castles and traditional villages in Tuscany, or enjoy the region's rural landscapes. In this part of Italy, energetic types may also partake in snowboarding, skiing and snow shoeing.

Don't skedaddle before you have checked out the Piazza del Popolo, Terme di Montecatini Spa and Montecatini Congress Center in Montecatini Terme. The Tananei and Ercolini E Savi are some of the great short and long-stay alternatives in Montecatini Terme. Alternatively, you could stay in Pescia, 25 kilometres to the west of Montale, where you can pick from the Agriturismo Monte a Pescia and Agriturismo Le Fontanacce. Should you choose to stay in Pescia, set aside some time to visit the Pinocchio Park, Gipsoteca Libero Andreotti Civic Museum and Porta Fiorentina.

If enjoying sport gives you a buzz, head to Tennis Club, which is 75 kilometres to the north of Montale. The Bed & Breakfast Sant'Eurosia and the Appartamenti Stoppato are near the action.

Visitors arriving or departing via Peretola Airport may choose to book some accommodation at the Hilton Florence Metropole Hotel or the Hotel Astor, both of which are close by.
