Abano beyond therapies

The starting point for the discovery of Veneto’s natural beauties. Thanks to its position at the heart of Veneto and to the easy connections, Abano is the ideal starting point to reach any location in the region and discover its natural wealth, its landscapes of lowlands, mountains, sea and sky..

Euganean Hills

The particular location on the edge of Abano, their volcanic origin, the different climatic horizons, the active presence of man since ancient times, make them a unique area for its natural, scenic, cultural and art richness.

A perfect environment, a lush vegetation as a setting for many interesting occasions. Villas, castles and villages to visit. Bike paths and dirt roads for mountain bikers. Paths that go through the most beautiful ins, special for lovers of hiking, Nordic Walking or equitation.

“If only I could show you the second Helicon which for you and the Muses I set up in the Euganean Hills!
I really think that you will not ever want to leave from there!”

Francesco Petrarca

Land of prestigious vineyards, Euganean Hills offer 13 different DOC wines: White, Fior d’Arancio, Muscat, Novello, Pinelli, Pinot Blanc, Red, Serprino, Tocai, Cabernet Franc and Sauvignon, Chardonnay and Merlot, are the wonderful wines that you can enjoy in the many cafes, restaurants and farm.

Present from time far, the olive has such close ties with the euganean that in the territory four indigenous crops survive since centuries: “Rasara”, “Marzemina”, “Rondella” and “Matosso”, each of which produces olives and oils of different quality, processed according to ancient tradition.

Veneto’s mountains

Painters, writers and poets sang the praises of the mountains of Veneto. For centuries they have been the dream of daring climbers, legendary skiers, unfatigable hunters, mushroom hunters, or even simple “walkers” in search of lost angles of nature, puffs of fresh air and time released from routine and stress. Here they arise then, in their majestic splendor: Antelao, Sorapiss, Pomagagnon… And other names that instead sound more familiar: Marmolada, Sella, Cristallo, Civetta, Tofane, Schiara, Sasso Nero, Monte Baldo, Ortigara…



The great attraction are the Dolomites, the pale mountains of extreme climbing legend, with sharp and bright pastel-hued peaks. But that’s not all, as mountains of Veneto is also the precious pre-Alpine arc which from Baldo to Cansiglio forms a protective curtain from northern winds: Lessinia, Asiago’s plateau, Grappa, and then Monte Baldo over Lake Garda, which dominates everything.

The possibility of an unforgettable experience, an opportunity for everyone, with no age limits or sporting attitude: it is not necessary to climb the mountains to appreciate them, just a look can suffice to be finally conquered. The Veneto region offers many opportunities for the holiday of mountain lovers, with snow and efficient lifts, opportunities for all seasons wilderness hiking and mountain biking.

Garda Lake

Garda Lake owes its success to an extraordinary climatic singularity, so particular that the olive tree grows on its banks; a typical Mediterranean crop that is not reflected in the Po valley. A delicate balance of winds makes the lake an ideal site for the practice of sailing sports, of paragliding and hang gliding in the background of a splendid natural amphitheater, colored in shades of blue and green.
Lacus Benacus was the name given by the Romans who colonized these lands in the first century BC, while the current name “Lake Garda” came into being during the Middle Ages, when the town of Garda, a rich and populous center of commercial traffic, was politically dominant in coastal villages. Today Garda is a pleasant tourist town overlooking the lakeside.


Along the Venetian shore of the lake, known as the Riviera of Olives for the unique cultivation that is practiced, Peschiera, Lazise, Bardolino, Garda, Torri del Benaco and Malcesine, are gracious and hospitable city that offer a cuisine based on genuine and natural products.
Resorts of the Riviera of Olives reserve pleasant surprise to gourmets, who may find the taste of distinctive and unusual cuisine based on the Garda lake fish: tench, eels, pike, perch, bleak, with which skilled chefs prepare risotto, cakes and pies, stews, roasted, boiled, in various tasty sauces or crispy fries, accompanied by beautiful young white and rosé wines, or robust aromatic red wines.

The Sea

The meeting of the Adriatic Sea with Veneto is memorable: 117 miles of sandy beaches to seal the endless embrace between land and sea.

Beaches composed of amber-colored fine sand, sandy beaches up to 500 metres wide, gently sloping seabed. Between sand dunes and resin scented pines, Venetian coast is not only sport, relaxation and fun. Nature has been very generous with this stretch of coast offering all the colors of the sea, the sky and the earth.

Upstream of one hundred kilometers of beach are, in fact, vast and lush pine forests with protected flora and fauna, thousands of acres of wild lagoon, dense reed beds, a myriad of lonely islands and a rich green countryside. And from place to place, from beach to beach, the natural shapes combine in different and each time unique ways, resulting in beautiful environmental scenarios.
The tourist can thus assist to the unrepeatable spectacle of a setting sun, slowly burning among the sand dunes of the Po delta and which reborns, like purified by the waters, between agile and leafy slender pines. And beneath these pines, which forms endless tunnels scenting of fragrant resin, the tourist can walk, cycle or just lie down for rest and enjoy the sparkling sea breeze penetrating among the branches.

The Po estuary

Eastern Rovigo’s province consists of a singular environmental context: the Po delta. Along the road that connects Chioggia and Ravenna, or even better if we leave it to follow smaller roads, we encounter an unusual landscape: a large river, the Po, which has branches in many directions; a lush natural environment where a myriad of many different species of birds fly up grazing, while a light mist softens the hues of sunset.

Yet to be discovered, the delta offers endless possibilities for exploration of an environment where nature is still the absolute ruler. The valleys, canals, marshes and pine forests of the delta have created a sort of natural labyrinth in which to linger and collect impressions of a landscape that thrives on pace to which we are no longer used to.
