Water profile
Soothing — neither hot nor cold, perfect balance.
Loaded with major ions — the essential minerals (Ca, Mg).
Soft water — natural, classic buoyancy.
In the municipality of Montegrotto Terme, at the foot of the Colli Euganei — those isolated volcanic hills that rise from the Venetian plain like a poetic geological anomaly — Bagneto sits at the heart of one of Italy's oldest and most storied thermal districts. The Romans frequented these waters, and the thermal tradition has continued unbroken across the centuries.
The bicarbonate water, which rises from depth at very high temperatures before being cooled to bathing temperature, carries remarkable mineral richness. At around 35 °C in the pools, it wraps the body in gentle, penetrating warmth, while the slightly velvety texture of bicarbonate water leaves skin noticeably smooth after a soak.
Montegrotto is also the capital of thermal fango, the mineral-laden silt harvested from Euganean thermal lagoons and matured before application. The Venetian art of thermal care — immersion and envelopment combined — is a living cultural practice here, inherited from antiquity and carried with quiet pride by an entire region.
