Thermal Swimmingpools
The thermal pools are open from 08:00 a.m. to 20:00 p.m.
Thermal outdoor pool: much more than a hot bath outside.
The richness of our hot springs comes from the bromo-iodine-salt water that is found underground at geothermic origin. From the Prealpi mountains, the water penetrates the subsoil up to a depth of around 3000 meters. It takes the water 25 years to cover approximately 100 km. During its path the water is enriched with mineral salts and it is gradually warmed up to a temperature of 87° C before it springs out in the Abano region. Warm and pleasing, rich and precious, beneficial and therapeutic, the water is then used for the "maturation" of the mud, for inhalation therapies, and for the thermal baths and pools.
Our outdoor thermal pool is 18 meters long and has a whirlpool. The temperature of its hot-spring water is between 32° C and 37° C. During the summer season, guests can have lunch by the pool with an "à la carte" menu.
Thermal indoor pool: thermal water meets innovation
The new indoor thermal pool is 26 meters long and is the result of a careful research of the greatest benefits for your health. We studied the effectiveness of different water jets and created a water massage spa with 4 barrels, 4 chairs and 2 benches. The Kneipp path is useful for the revitalization of the blood vessels, skin and well-being of the whole organism. For the more adventurous who want to exercise even in the quiet indoor pool, the counter current swimming water jet generates a flow of thermal water that can offer resistance to the swimmer or create the effect of a powerful whirlpool.
Biosauna: a new concept of thermal wellbeing.
The Biosauna combines the characteristics of the dry Finnish sauna and the steam bath. The temperature ranges from 45°C to 55°C, while the humidity is around 50%. Perspiration, less intense than in the Finnish sauna, is compensated by the possibility to spend more time in it, which allows a greater loss of fluid. The Biosauna offers the benefits of both a dry Finnish sauna and a steam bath.
