Hotel Terme Formentin is a 3-star superior hotel in the pedestrian zone of Abano Terme. Built in 1950, it has been continuously renovated to ensure modern comfort. The hotel’s sun terrace, with loungers, tables and chairs, is a relaxing place to unwind. With its own spa and wellness centre and the soothing properties of the thermal water, the hotel is an ideal setting for a restful break. Some of the hotel’s rooms and suites overlook the peaceful pedestrian zone, creating a welcoming atmosphere for an enjoyable stay.

Hotel Terme Formentin is set in the picturesque heart of Abano Terme, one of Europe’s most renowned thermal spa regions. The town lies amid the idyllic Euganean Hills and is known for its therapeutic thermal springs. The hotel is centrally located, making it easy to reach the town’s elegant boutiques, welcoming cafés and traditional restaurants.

The cuisine is rooted in regional traditions, with a contemporary touch. The day begins with a varied breakfast featuring a selection of homemade sweet and savoury treats, including brioches, plum cake, muffins, cakes, scrambled eggs, bacon, cheese and cold cuts. The menus change with the seasons and combine light, wholesome dishes with traditional recipes. Gluten-free doughs, aromatic herbs and reduced use of animal fats are standard. Desserts are low in sugar and fat, and dishes can be individually adapted for guests with intolerances or specific dietary requirements.

The thermal swimming pools are open daily from 9.00 am to 10.30 pm and feature hot tubs, hydromassage beds, cervical waterfalls, geysers and a Kneipp path. The two pools, one indoor and one outdoor, are connected by a passage directly through the water. The thermal water has recognised therapeutic properties, particularly for respiratory and rheumatic conditions and joint pain. Water aerobics classes are held five days a week. Swimming caps are compulsory in the thermal swimming pool (you can ask for one at reception and hire it for £3 (€3)).

The Ephira wellness centre, covering approximately 3,170 sq m, is easily reached from the hotel via an elevated walkway. It offers a wide range of therapies, massages, and facial and body treatments. Roman and Finnish saunas, whirlpools and Turkish baths provide moments of renewal, while experienced therapists use oils to ease tension and promote circulation. Treatments include relaxing and sculpting massages, lymphatic drainage, Ayurveda, hot stone therapy, shiatsu, sports and foot reflexology massages, and much more. Only high-quality natural products are used.

The thermal water has healing properties. Thanks to its organic properties, it is used to mature the mud for anti-inflammatory treatments. A range of thermal treatments is available in the wellness area. Fangotherapy and thermal baths have an anti-inflammatory effect and help relieve muscle wasting and painful joint conditions. Ozone therapy provides a restorative full-body massage, while inhalation with thermal water can help with respiratory conditions such as bronchitis and asthma. Therapeutic massages improve circulation and overall wellbeing, while hydrokinesis and physiokinesis use water to support gentle rehabilitation. A medical examination is required before the treatment programme begins (already included in the mud therapy packages). This helps identify your individual needs and tailor your treatment accordingly.

The many leisure activities around Abano Terme include scenic walking routes, historic sites and impressive natural landscapes. You can hire a bicycle to explore the region. The lively city of Padua is just a 20-minute drive away, with its rich history and culture. Golf enthusiasts can enjoy a relaxing round on the green at Golf Club della Montecchia, just 6 km away.
