It was my husbands 60th birthday so planned a surprise birthday trip for him. Having never heard of this location, I was very dubious but - We had 5 days at the the Abano Ritz Terme. A really relaxing atmosphere. Staff were friendly and the location was also very relaxing.Spacious rooms with a 'breakfast to die for'. The hotel itself was quite 'old fashioned' as the name 'Ritz ' sujests. The pool vacinity especially was lovely. Most of the time we had the pool and jacuzzi to ourselves. Plenty of Spa treatments on offer too. Just over half an hour from Venice and located in the Eugean hills which gave us plenty of scope! Town was very quiet with many water features and some very nice shops!Really recommend this location for a 'Swithch off' Break. We were then moving on to Lake Garda for a week.

As part of our honeymoon trip, my husband and I spent a few days at this lovely hotel. From the start of our holiday the service was impeccable and the staff were lovely. Our room was very spacious and very clean. Our bed was made every morning and turned down every evening. The maid knocked every evening to check if we needed anything else. We were given chocolates and champagne in our suite with a congratulatory card for our wedding. On sundays they leave a rose in the rooms to wish you "happy sunday'! The spa treatments were excellent and very good value..for instance an hour's stone therapy and massage only cost 50euros! The dining experience was always wonderful with an amazing variety of dishes. One of the owners was always around greeting guests during dinner and making sure everything was ok with their stay. Overall it is a very relaxing place to stay with a personal touch from all staff who go out of their way to ensure you have a memorable stay. I would definately recommend it.

Arrived at the Ritz in the evening and was already very disappointed with the state the hotel was in. Most of the place looks pretty rundown and you get the feeling that it hasn't changed over the past 150 years. The rooms are lousy dirty and uncomfortable and the breakfast is great if you are on a diet.
Only positive point was the very friendly staff.

Cannot recommend the hotel/spa/restaurant enough. Stayed for three nights (too short a stay) on full board. Outstanding value all the way around. The spa treatments are outstanding - this is not an American glitz see and be seen spa - rather a gentle, breathtakingly competent, and calm rest/restoration vacation. There is a real diversity of population - not for the hip singles scene - widely diverse age range, people from Italy, France, Germany, England and a few Americans. Many 40 and upward, some younger, very few children, both women and men alone and couples as well as couples who have traveled together. The staff is genuinely caring, outstanding and gracious, the food and service simply wonderful (great wine list). I hope to go back for one week a year for the rest of my life and my husband (who accompanied me reluctantly) is seriously considering coming with me. The feeling of well being is lasting (and addictive).
