The call of sunset: why an aperitivo in the Euganean Hills is an unmissable experience

After a day spent rejuvenating in the warm thermal waters of the Euganean Thermal Basin, which boasts around 240 heated thermal pools, natural instinct leads us to seek an extension of that well-being.

This volcanic hilly amphitheater provides the ideal setting to leave the daily rush behind, as you watch the sun slowly set behind the profiles of the hills, painting the sky in warm, enveloping hues.

And it is right here, nestled in the lush greenery of the Euganean Hills, that La Montecchia Green is located. We firmly believe that the beauty of nature should be an inclusive experience.
