Rooms are large and clean, the breakfast buffet is very nice, the swimming pools and treatments are great.
But also some minor points of criticism. Dinner: food okay but nothing special. Menu not available in English. The maître d'hôtel was rather arrogant, and service was poor (maybe because I was not wearing a jacket?). As another reviewer stated "it reminded us of some 'lunch with grannie' rules from 30 years ago". The majority of guests, indeed, seemed over 70 y/o. For most younger West-Europeans (we're "only" mid 50s ;-), a jacket and tie isn't something taken along on holiday. And no, we don't like to swim with a plastic cap either. ;-(
So yes, we will probably go back because of the swimming pools and the treatments and because of the possibility of combining the stay with a visit to Padua and Venice (although it would be appreciated if the hydrajets and pools are accessible in the evening and don't close at 6 and 7 pm resp.). We'll be having dinner outside of the hotel, however - and fortunately there are some good and cozy places around.

The hotel is marvelous and turned out to be better than we actually expected. Because of our small child we were looking for a quiet and beautiful place with good food to relax. The possibility to have some thermal and spa procedures was also a good advantage for us.

The hotel location is very good, indeed one of the best in town – in the beginning of the pedestrian area, far away enough from the central highway and main roads. There is a small but very nice and cosy garden near the hotel and an historical thermal park ‘Montirone’ just behind. The air is so fresh, that it feels like you drink it. To understand the difference just come away of the pedestrian area for example to the circle at Piazza Republica. We slept well for 7-8 hours instead of usual 9-10.

Inside the hotel is nicely furnished in Venetian style. Paintings are everywhere on the walls, some of them are of the 19th century.
The room was spacious enough, with high ceiling, clean and well furnished. The maid came every day to clean and change the linen and towels. We really enjoyed the wonderful view at the Euganean Hills.

The Wellness Center meets the highest standards. The hotel is famous for its mud ‘Fango’ and thermal ‘Bagno’. Mud was good to take in the early morning, so that you have time to sleep a while after it before the breakfast.
There is a big swimming pool with thermal water. You can swim inside and outside. We also enjoyed ‘grote’ and kneipping.

The restaurant is a real boutique: nice food, rich wine selection and distinguished atmosphere. Maitre d’hotel was very attentive asking us every day what to prepare for our little daughter (that was really pleasant).

People from reception were very helpful. One day our child felt sick and they did everything to help us with medicine and doctor. We really felt their sincere care about our daughter and that was the most precious thing.
We’d like to say our special thanks to doctor Di Blasio for his valuable advice and time spent on us. We are also very grateful to people working at reception desk (especially Saveria and Marian) who also helped much to save our child from the disease.

We would highly recommend the hotel to those who seeks for a quiet and beautiful place to relax in cozy and hospitable atmosphere.

Rooms large and clean. Food okay but not anything special. Swimming pools fantastic and gymnasium very average. Treatments excellent but too quite and not for the young.

My husband and I stayed for the week-end with another couple. Full-pension, in a Deluxe Panoramic Room. Almost a mini-suiteI. At least twice the size of a standard Italian hotel room. didn't know that you could still get this kind of luxury... Imagine a room in a remodelled castle. Classy moldings on walls and ceilings, "ton-sur-ton" pastel colors, massive and beautiful crystal chandeliers. Clean carpets and marble floors. Lots of antique furnishings and so much beautiful artwork everywhere. Not "goddy" because it's authentic and very tastefully put together. We thought the place was beautiful. Incredibly courteous and forthcoming staff, in all areas of the Hotel/Spa. The best part was the dining-room. Great attention to the food. Very healthy choices, a wide variety of them at every meal. Top quality fruit and vegetables at lunch and dinner. Great care in preparation and presentation. Fully staffed, the whole hierarchy of possible hotel dining room staff. So you must get dressed for lunch and dinner (or you'll really feel out of place). It reminded me of some "lunch with grannie" rules from 30 years ago. It is true, the main clientele was 50 or older. Everyone was kind, educated and our stay was thouroughly delightful. The €40/person/stay Spa card gives access to 3 naturally heated pools, Kneip leg baths, the gym, a steam/sauna room, a blue pool robe, and a white spa robe in the room for each guest. A wide variety of mud, massage and beauty treatments are available for additional (but reasonable) charges. Next time we'll stay for a full week. A wonderful stress-relief oasis, a healthy vacation choice if you suffer from arthritis and pain. Oh yes, and it's right downtown, yet quiet at night since mostly surrounded by pedestrians streets.
