Hotel Terme Bristol Buja

With air conditioning and an ideal location at the start of Abano Terme’s pedestrian zone, the hotel offers a peaceful retreat set within around 20,000 sq m of park-like gardens, including a picturesque pine grove. Abano Terme is close to numerous remarkable artistic and cultural sites, making it an inviting base for cultural discoveries. The historic and cultural city of Padua is just around 10 km away. Other famous cities, including Venice, Vicenza and Verona, are also within easy reach, offering exceptional insights into the region’s rich artistic heritage. More than 4000 Venetian villas are scattered throughout the surrounding area, from the road between Mestre and Treviso, along the River Brenta and as far as the hills around Treviso and Vicenza and the Euganean Hills. Of these, 200 are open to visitors. The perfect base for exploring Italy’s beauty and cultural richness.

Abano Terme, one of Europe’s most important and oldest thermal spa centres, is set in enchanting countryside at the foot of the Euganean Hills, in the heart of the Veneto. The area is ideal for walking and cycling, and for discovering medieval villages, walled towns and Venetian villas. The Romans were already coming here 2,000 years ago for pain-relieving Fango mud treatment programmes, based on thermal water and mud. Today, the town centre is centred around the pedestrian zone, with its many shops, cafés and restaurants, and beautiful historic buildings, all surrounded by green spaces and parks.

The “Bristol Tradizione” menu offers an exquisite selection of dishes from Venetian and classic Italian cuisine. Alongside it, the hotel’s unique “B.Well” concept features healthy dishes designed to provide a balanced intake of nutrients and calories. Every morning, guests can enjoy a generous breakfast buffet with homemade bread and a live cooking station serving crêpes and egg dishes. Half board includes a four-course menu with a choice of dishes for lunch or dinner, as well as a fresh salad buffet. Special dietary requirements are also catered for, including low-calorie, vegetarian, vegan, lactose-free and gluten-free options, as well as diet meals. The summer restaurant delights with its garden-view terrace. There is also a spacious terrace next to the breakfast room. Dance evenings and events provide enjoyable entertainment. An internet terminal, a lobby and a pool bar are available for guests to use. The hotel’s own pastry shop serves a tempting selection of sweet treats.

More about the B.Well concept: B.Well offers guests nutritionally sound, low-calorie and balanced menus. Choosing a B.Well menu means you can be confident you are eating healthily, following a diet designed to support optimal health and help prevent cardiovascular disease and cancer. Each B.Well menu comprises three or four courses and promotes a balance of animal and plant proteins, avoids vegetable fats, and includes wholegrains and at least five portions of fruit and vegetables a day. Ingredients are sourced locally and have a reliable provenance; they are predominantly organic, alongside plant-based fats and raw sugar. Healthy cooking methods are used, such as cooking at low temperatures.

Discover a haven of relaxation and wellbeing, with an impressive choice of pools and a wonderful spa area. Immerse yourself in the soothing warmth of the four spacious pools, including an indoor thermal pool that flows seamlessly into an outdoor thermal pool. Enjoy the setting of the large outdoor thermal pool (approx. 30–32°C), which nestles beautifully in a lovingly landscaped garden, or unwind in the thermal pool for physiotherapy. The new “Hydrorelax” outdoor thermal pool offers an extra touch of relaxation, with eight underwater loungers, tubs and loungers fitted with air-pressure massage functions, water jets for neck massages, and a Kneipp and venous exercise course. Alongside a freshwater outdoor pool right beside a picturesque pine grove, a whirlpool invites you to linger and unwind. The newly designed spa area offers a range of ways to relax: a Finnish sauna with colour and music therapy (approx. 80–100°C), a Mediterranean sauna (approx. 60–100°C), a steam room (approx. 45–48°C), an ice waterfall, experience showers and a thermal pool (approx. 35°C) with underwater massage and a counter-current system, ideal for individual kinesiotherapy sessions. A salt room with relaxation loungers completes the offering, leaving you free to unwind fully.

Maison B.B. is a centre for health and wellbeing, open every day. Guests will find a doctor-led department offering traditional thermal and Fango mud treatments from Monday to Saturday, as well as a hydrotherapy centre. A team of specialists uses modern technology to provide a wide range of treatments, including physiotherapy and rehabilitation, inhalation therapies, physiokinesiotherapy, TECAR therapy, pain management, medical wellness, massage and osteopathy. The Fango mud and inhalation treatments for sinusitis are particularly noteworthy.

Guests can use the fitness room, equipped with Technogym® cardio and strength-training equipment. Personal training is also available for an additional fee. The programme is complemented by toning exercise classes, Pilates, back care classes, aerobics and aqua aerobics in the thermal water. State-of-the-art equipment for facial and body treatments, as well as aesthetic and remise en forme programmes, completes the wellness offering.

A highlight is Fango mud therapy, which is particularly common in the Euganean Basin. Carefully prepared Fango mud, made from thermal water, clay, humus, hyperthermal salt-, iodine- and bromine-rich water, and microalgae, offers a range of health benefits. It has pain-relieving, anti-inflammatory, detoxifying and skin-cleansing effects. It also stimulates endorphin production, activates the immune system and promotes vasodilation for improved circulation.

The hotel has a tennis court and a boules court for sporting activities. Golf enthusiasts can practise on the driving range in the hotel grounds, which features a putting green, a bunker and a 70-metre par-3 hole. Bikes are available to hire for exploring the area on two wheels.
