Hotel Terme Venezia is located in the centre of Abano and is recommended for those who want to have everything at their fingertips.
At the Hotel Terme delle Nazioni the wellness of thermal water has a green setting. This historic 4-star hotel in Montegrotto Terme is immersed in a lush garden that creates an oasis of total relaxation right in the main shopping street. It is impossible to notice the bustle of people and their lively chatter once you enter this paradise of plants and thermal waters.
The jewel in the crown of this hotel is the semi-Olympic pool with thermal water, recently renovated with a more modern poolside and new lighting that creates a more refined atmosphere. There are two outdoor pools, the semi-olympic pool with 36° water and a slightly less warm pool with hydromassage stations.
Those who wish to stay overnight can choose between economy, standard, superior and suite rooms, all characterised by understated elegance and a garden view.
Due to its location only 300 metres from the railway station, it is an excellent choice for those travelling by public transport and those wishing to visit other locations in the Veneto region.
A thermal hotel with good value for money is the Hotel Terme Patria in Abano Terme, a historic three-star hotel converted from an elegant Venetian villa and later expanded with the acquisition of some historic buildings from the first half of the 20th century.
Today it is still a family-run hotel, characterised by a warm welcome and a sober elegance that harks back to the splendour of the last century.
The hotel’s thermal complex includes an indoor and an outdoor communicating swimming pool, whirlpool, cervical jet, reflexology path and a wellness area with sauna, ice fountain, emotional shower and Kneipp path. There is a bar in the pool area.
The indoor pool is equipped with hydrobikes, treadmills and equipment; there is also a gym and daily water aerobics lessons are organised.
Among the most famous luxury pools of the Euganean Spa are the Prehistoric Baths of Montegrotto: they were part of one of the first hotels opened in the city at the beginning of the 20th century and were among the first to be opened to the public. A true piece of thermal tourism history in the Veneto!
This elegant establishment includes some pools reserved for guests of the hotel Terme Preistoriche Resort & Spa and others that are also accessible to outside visitors. In total, there are 2 indoor and 3 outdoor pools, 56 whirlpools and 6 cervical waterfalls; there are also 2 Kneipp paths with alternating jets of hot and cold water, sauna and Turkish bath.
The outdoor pools, all connected to the indoor pools, are immersed in a 50,000 square metre park with a view of the Berta Pass. You can combine relaxation with some healthy physical activity with the hydrobikes, aquarunners, fully equipped gym and tennis court, or pamper yourself with a massage or beauty treatment in the spa.
The Terme Preistoriche hotel is a family-run 4-star hotel of refined elegance, inspired by the splendour of early centuries and the refined tastes of the nobility of yesteryear. It certainly left an indelible impression on one of its first managers, Count Giustiniani.
Among the most famous thermal pools in Montegrotto, we cannot fail to mention those of the Hotel Petrarca, another historic, high-category (4-star) hotel.
It is one of the largest thermal complexes in the area, with no less than 7 pools (indoor and outdoor) with temperatures ranging from 28° to 36°. In this ‘amusement park of well-being’ you will find everything that can restore your health and put you in a good mood: hydromassage beds, foot hydromassage, benches and barrels for cross whirlpools, jacuzzi, neck fountains, Kneipp path, mushroom.
If you love swimming, you’ll love the outdoor Olympic-size pool with a counter-current jet, which can also be used in winter thanks to the heated water. The dimensions are the regulation size (50 x 20 metres) and the water temperature slightly lower than in the relaxation pools (around 28°).
Classically elegant, the pools at the Abano Ritz Hotel will make you live a romantic dream with a 19th-century flavour: statues, balustrades and fountains surrounded by greenery recall the Italian-style gardens that enchanted English poets during their Grand Tour of Italy. It is an ideal setting to forget stress and regenerate body and soul.
The complex includes two semi-Olympic swimming pools (indoor and outdoor) connected by a few steps indoors (but outside the water), a hydro-massage area, cervical waterfalls, an aquafitness corner, solarium, sauna and Turkish bath, and an emotional shower.
A totally different experience can be had at one of the most modern and original luxury thermal pools in the Euganean Hills: the Terme di Relilax in Montegrotto.
The pools of this 5-star boutique hotel & spa will disconcert all those accustomed to the image of the thermal pool as 19th-century or early 20th-century luxury, decorated with neoclassical or Art Nouveau elements. The Relilax Spa, on the other hand, is contemporary luxury, created with low environmental impact materials and techniques and inspired by a Caribbean setting.
The top attraction is the Le Palme outdoor pool, an 800 square metre irregularly shaped pool in the middle of a lawn surrounded by rolling hills. The palm trees are really there, and you only have to close your eyes to dream of being on an exotic beach. The indoor pool has an elegant slate floor and is characterised by a spectacular play of light.
There is also a spa area with a mini pool, saunas, Turkish bath, emotional showers, river stone walkway and relaxation room with herbal teas.
Even the Hotel Plaza in Abano Terme has not stood still: in step with the times, it is able to offer the Euganean Spa’s only all-encompassing sensorial experience.
This is the Plaza Sensory Pool, a hot-water pool where you can enjoy an immersive show created with high-resolution image projections, sounds, scents and thermal vapours. According to the criteria of colour therapy, the colours of the projections are chosen to enhance the emotions to be aroused by the narration and sounds.
It is called an immersive experience because it involves more senses than those normally associated with thermal baths.
The sensory pool is just the jewel in the crown of a spa centre that includes an indoor and outdoor pool with whirlpools, waterfalls and Kneipp path, two Jacuzzis, a semi-Olympic pool, outdoor sauna and spa area (steam bath, Mediterranean bath, Finnish sauna, experience showers, ice cascade, geyser platform, nebulisation with perfumed essences).
Indecisive between the romantic atmospheres of the neoclassical 19th century and the essential lines of contemporary design? The Hotel President Terme in Abano blends your tastes in a concept of harmonious elegance.
There are two thermal pools at the hotel, one indoor and one outdoor, communicating with each other and of similar dimensions (26×10 metres one, 24×8 metres the other); there is also a pool for aquafit, aquarelax and individual rehabilitation sessions.
five pools with water temperatures between 30° and 35° await you at the Bristol Buja, a 5-star hotel in the centre of Abano Terme.
The elegant indoor pool has an oval shape; from here you can access two outdoor pools, one dedicated to relaxation and one suitable for swimming. Immersed in the greenery of the park there is also a freshwater pool with hydromassage beds for sunbathing while the body is massaged by water bubbles. The fifth pool is located inside the spa and provides more privacy.
Staying at this hotel is a recommended choice for those whose health or palate is concerned with nutrition. The menu includes numerous vegetarian, vegan and coeliac options; very tasty are the breakfasts, during which fresh pastries prepared in the hotel’s in-house bakery are served.
The choice of thermal pools at Galzignano Terme is much reduced compared to Abano and Montegrotto, but among them there is an enchanting place for a holiday of absolute peace: the Galzignano Terme Spa & Golf Resort, a complex of the international chain JSH Hotels&Resorts that brings together three 4-star hotels (Splendid, Majestic, Sporting).
Splendid and Majestic share swimming pools, both indoor and outdoor, while Sporting has its own pools; the outdoor pools are all surrounded by greenery and enjoy beautiful views of the hills on the horizon.
The three hotels are located in a secluded area, far from the hustle and bustle of the central streets of Abano and Montegrotto.
