The Euganean Hills are one of the most fascinating destinations in Veneto, a group of volcanic hills rising from the Padua plain just a short drive from Venice, Padua, and Verona. If you're looking for things to do during your holiday in a villa with private pool in Lozzo Atestino, here is a complete guide to the best itineraries.
Abano and Montegrotto Thermal Baths: Relaxation and Wellness
The thermal baths of the Euganean Hills are among the oldest and most renowned in Europe. Abano Terme and Montegrotto Terme offer thermal pools, healing mud treatments, and wellness centers open year-round. Perfect for a relaxing day after exploring the area.
Just 15 minutes from Oasi Dolce Vita, you can spend a day at the spas without venturing far from your villa.
Medieval Villages to Visit
The Euganean Hills are dotted with beautiful villages:
- Arquà Petrarca — one of the most beautiful villages in Italy, last home of the poet Petrarch
- Monselice — with its medieval fortress and the Sanctuary of the Seven Churches
- Este — elegant town with Carraresi castle and the National Atestino Museum
- Montagnana — among the best-preserved medieval walled cities in Europe
Each village tells a story and offers unique panoramic views of the Euganean Hills.
Hiking and Nature in the Euganean Hills
The Euganean Hills Regional Park offers dozens of trails for hiking and cycling. Monte Venda, at 603 meters, is the highest peak and offers a breathtaking view over the entire Veneto plain with the Dolomites on the horizon.
