Nestled in the heart of the Euganean Hills, close to Padua, Verona et Venice, Abano Terme is much more than a spa resort: it is a living heritage of well-being and natural medicine.
Since theRoman era, the benefits of its waters and muds were already celebrated, attracting emperors and thinkers, from Livy à Auguste.
Over the centuries, the nobility of theAustro-Hungarian Empire has made Abano a luxury retreat, taking advantage of the therapeutic properties of these mineral-rich waters. Today, this health sanctuary continues a centuries-old tradition, where nature and science come together to relieve joint pain, inflammation, and skin conditions.
By combining ancestral know-how and scientific innovation, the thermal spas ofAbano Terme offer a natural and holistic approach to well-being.
Whether it is to relieve pain, purify the body, firm the body or preserve the youthfulness of the skin, Abano Terme's mud therapy is an invitation to balance and regeneration.
Fangotherapy: a therapeutic immersion
The Millennial Power of Mud
At the heart of Abano Terme's thermal treatments lies a natural treasure: a unique mud, born from the encounter between the clay of the thermal lakes ofArquà Petrarca and Lispida, and hot, mineralized thermal water.
This precious clay undergoes a natural maturation process:
- 50 to 60 days immersed in thermal water at 60°C,
- Enrichment with minerals and beneficial microorganisms,
- Development of ETS 05, an algae with proven anti-inflammatory properties patented at European level by the University of Padua.
Thanks to this unique process, Abano Terme mud therapy becomes a true therapeutic ally, relieving joint pain, rheumatism, circulatory disorders and chronic inflammation.
