The regenerating power of water
After a long journey
The water from our spa spring flows deep beneath the ground along the asthenosphere at a depth of 100 - 350 km, reaching the right temperature for it to be called hyperthermal and taking on the special characteristics that make it salt-bromide-iodine spa water. The water travels for 30 years through a maze of underground passages from the Lessini mountains until it reaches the underground aquifer that is right under our hotel, where it is collected at a depth of 267m and at a temperature of 72°C. There is something genuine, inexplicable and protective about this water as it takes you in its embrace, relieving tensions and allowing you to see things in a new light.
BALNEOTHERAPY
BREATHING AND PURIFYING
TURKISH BATH AND FINNISH SAUNA
The composition of the spa water in our pools releases tension in your muscles, is a powerful analgesic and helps you relax. We have selected a variety of water jets for you to try, where the temperature, dissolved salts and pressure of the water all contribute to your general relaxation. They stimulate blood vessels and reactivate venous and lymphatic circulation in the different muscle groups.
The special composition of the salt-bromine-iodine hyperthermal water in the Euganean Basin helps cleanse the mucous membranes of the respiratory system. As it is a completely natural treatment, inhalation therapy is also suitable for children.
Hotel Apollo has an agreement with the Italian Health Service, so guests can undergo a cycle of inhalations / aerosol therapy / nasal irrigations once a year upon presentation of a prescription from their general practitioner to treat the following conditions: rhinitis, pharyngitis, laryngitis, sinusitis, catarrhal otitis and chronic bronchitis.
Turkish baths and Finnish saunas complement spa treatments
as they stimulate blood circulation and have a powerful detoxing and toning effect on the whole body. They are recommended to treat stress, overweight and metabolic disorders (gout, high cholesterol).According to current regulations for covid-19 protection, they can be opened every day from 4 pm to 6 pm.
PRIVATE SPA
On the ground floor in the Relax zone we have created for you a Private Spa: a small intimate and quiet oasis to share with those you love, for exclusive moments of well-being, to be booked for unforgettable breaks and unique moments. The sauna and the Turkish bath regenerate the body and spirit, purify from toxins and stress, give a full feeling of well-being.
Thermal mud
The chemical and biological properties of our mud make it ideal for anti-inflammatory, analgesic, muscle-relaxing and revitalising treatments. During the maturation process, the mud is left to rest in our special tanks containing spa water and at the end it becomes mature mud® D.O.C.
Thermal mud has been used successfully and efficiently since Roman times. It consists of a solid clayey component, a liquid component (thermal water) and an organic component (algae, protozoans, etc.).
The “maturation” process plays a fundamental role: the mud is put in special basins in contact with thermal water for a minimum period of 60 days so that it is colonized by bacteria, protozoans and in particular by the algae of the Euganean Thermal Basin.
In this way it acquires the chemical and biological properties which are ideal for anti-inflammatory, analgesic, muscle-relaxing and revitalizing treatments. The enriched biothermal mud is unique in the world because it contains Alga ETS05 which reproduces in the Euganean Thermal Basin exclusively. Its anti-inflammatory effect is covered by European patent. Hotel Terme Apollo is part of a network monitored by the University of Padua which checks the maturation process and the quality of thermal mud. “Centro Studi Termali Pietro d’Abano” is our reference authority.
Enjoy the pleasure of being covered with mud to give your body and your skin new vigour and strength.
At Hotel Terme Apollo beauty is always associated with health.
FANGOTHERAPY
THERMAL COLORS
How a mud therapy session takes place??
The thermal mud is applied by the mud-therapist on the patient's body according to the specialized doctor’s instructions concerning temperature, duration and body parts involved (total or partial application). A cycle of 10-12 applications is recommended (2 weeks’ stay) for the therapy to be effective. At the end of the session the mud is removed, the patient takes a shower and plunges into an ozonized thermal bath. Here he stays 8-10 minutes at a temperature of 36°-38°C to benefit from its vasodilating and muscle-relaxing effects, which are very important after a fango application. After the bath the patient lies wrapped in clothes to facilitate the “sweating reaction”. Hotel Apollo has a ASL convention (Italian Health Service).
Thermal Colours®: an innovative line of cosmeceuticals for international spa wellbeing.
The three ranges of body products with natural extracts combine mud with spa water from the Euganean Spas, algae and the typical aromas of the Euganean Hills National Park. Each of the products has its own distinctive fragrance, ingredients and properties. The mud is added to three specially created creams which enhance its specific qualities and give it three natural colours.

a scrub which promotes cell renewal, leaving the skin velvety soft.
Body Slim Yellow

ACUPUNCTURE AND TRIGGER POINT THERAPY
The Hotel Apollo team now has a doctor specialised in acupuncture and trigger point therapy who is on hand to give advice and prepare personalised treatment plans for our guests to help relieve pain, even in the acute phase.
Acupuncture is an ancient therapeutic method that belongs to traditional Chinese medicine and it has been practised from as early as 540 B.C.. The principle behind this technique is to restore good health and wellbeing to the patient by inserting needles into specific points of the energy flow pathways in the human body, called meridians. It is possible to treat conditions such as depression, stress, insomnia, gastric reflux, paresthesia of the hands and feet, menopause-related problems, headaches, vertigo, neuralgia, carpal tunnel syndrome, bunions, herpes zoster and constipation, as well as helping patients lose weight.
Pain management or trigger point therapy consists of treating the triggers of acute pain in certain parts of the body. Trigger points are points which often act as the epicentre of the symptoms and from there the pain spreads to a considerably larger area. For example, some of these points in head muscles can cause toothache or tinnitus and being able to recognise them helps doctors prescribe the right therapy. The treatment involves injecting saline solution into the pain site, eliminating the calcium ions which cause irregular muscle contraction. It is possible to correct poor posture, slipped discs, cervical, back and lumbar pain, myofascial pathologies and also hip, knee, hand, shoulder and elbow pain.
This totally natural approach helps restore balance and good health to your body, with ancient techniques which complement our mud and spa water treatments.
