Hotel Terme Metropole Abano, set in the internationally celebrated thermal resort of Abano Terme in the Euganean Hills of the Veneto, draws on sulfate hyperthermal waters from the same extraordinary geothermal system that has made these volcanic hills south of Padua one of the most renowned thermal destinations in Europe since Roman antiquity. The sulfate thermal waters, emerging from deep sources at elevated temperatures, are used in the Metropole's pool and wellness facilities alongside the famous fango radioattivo — radioactive volcanic mud matured in the thermal water — that forms the centrepiece of the Terme Euganee thermal tradition. The hotel's proximity to Padua's Scrovegni Chapel frescoes by Giotto, the palladianised city centre, and Venice just 50 kilometres to the east makes a thermal stay a profoundly cultural experience in the heart of the Veneto.
Insider tip — Hotel Terme Metropole anchors the elegant thermal boulevard of Abano Terme in the Euganean Hills, where volcanic hydrothermal activity feeds Europe's most concentrated spa district. The bicarbonate-sulfate waters at Abano emerge from depths of 3,000 meters and carry distinctive properties refined by their passage through volcanic rock. The hotel's outdoor thermal pool and historic frescoed reading rooms embody a grand-hotel tradition dating to Napoleonic-era tourism. The Abano mud cure—fango matured with specific bacteria—remains uniquely regulated and unreplicable elsewhere in Europe.
