Hotel Terme Augustus Montegrotto

Hotel Terme Augustus Montegrotto is located in Montegrotto Terme in the Province of Padua in the Veneto, within the Euganean Hills thermal district—Italy's second-largest thermal spa zone—where Roman-era baths have been excavated beneath the modern resort landscape, confirming that chloride-rich thermal waters flowing here at temperatures up to 87°C have been recognized as therapeutic since at least the 1st century CE. The chloride-mineral composition of Montegrotto's thermal waters carries properties valued in the Italian balneological tradition for musculoskeletal conditions, rheumatic diseases, and skin disorders, complemented by the thermal fango mud treatments that have made the Euganean Hills district Europe's leading destination for volcanic mud therapy. Montegrotto Terme's extraordinary archaeological heritage—where ongoing excavations reveal one of the most extensive Roman thermal complexes in the Italian peninsula, including the remains of a sacred spring sanctuary, elaborate bath buildings, and a Roman hotel complex—frames Hotel Terme Augustus within a landscape where the Italian passion for thermal bathing has a documented history of unbroken continuity spanning over two thousand years.
