Hotel Terme Antoniano

Twelve thermal pools — one indoor, three outdoor — anchor the spa programme at Hotel Terme Antoniano, a four-star wellness resort on Via Guido Fasolo 12 in Abano Terme, the Euganean Hills spa town roughly 40 kilometres southwest of Venice's historic centre.

The thermal offer runs deep: hot spring baths, Turkish steam room, sauna, light therapy, body wraps, and a full beauty salon with hair colouring and waxing sit alongside yoga classes, aerobics, and a personal trainer. Families are well served with an indoor play area, playground, kids' meals, and babysitting.

Abano Terme suits guests who want Venice as a day trip rather than a base — the A13 motorway puts the lagoon city within an hour by car, while the spa infrastructure here far outpaces anything available inside Venice itself. Check-in opens at 14:00; check-out by 11:00.
