Hotel Eliseo is located in the heart of Montegrotto Terme, at 2 km from Abano Terme and at 10 km from Padua, in a truly privileged position for a 3-star hotel and immersed in the tranquility of a very green park that gives to a treed promenade along Viale Stazione with its many stores, boutiques and cafes.
Montegrotto and Abano Terme are part of the Terme Euganee area. They are on the slopes of the Euganei Hills, in the midst of lush nature, ancient towns, medieval abbeys, splendid villas and gardens, and thermal waters known since Roman times for their curative and regenerating powers. Indeed, the old Mons Aegrotorum was, since Roman times, a place to visit and spend time at the thermal spas.
Montegrotto is a very nice locality with wide treed avenues on which the gardens of the beauty farms face. It also has a bustling center with lots of entertainment options. In the background, the Euganei Hills gently break the flatness of the surrounding landscape. The hills are of volcanic origin and constitute the Euganei Hills Regional Park, a land to be enjoyed and discovered by the many nature, historic, artistic, and wine and food itineraries available either on foot, mountain bike (Hotel Eliseo supplies maps with routes and organizes guided excursions!), or horseback. 18,000 hectares of lush and very diversified flora which ranges from Mediterranean scrub, chestnut and oak forests, to vineyards and olive groves where many protected animal species live free: foxes, badgers, weasels, roe deer and boar, and more than 120 species of birds.
