06/02/2025
Friday, February 14, marks the most romantic day of the year — the perfect occasion for a romantic weekend combining spa relaxation and the discovery of new places. The Euganean Hills are an ideal destination for this experience.

Our Esplanade Tergesteo – Luxury Retreat is the perfect starting point to explore this enchanting region, characterized by gentle hills, breathtaking views, romantic medieval villages, and thermal baths at their feet.

Treat yourself and your special companion to a well-deserved break from everyday life. Relax in a unique atmosphere, savor culinary highlights, and indulge in soothing wellness treatments. Discover new places together, stroll through idyllic landscapes, or enjoy a special dinner for two.

Experience romantic moments – whenever you wish!

Our tips for your perfect romantic getaway for two.

  1. Relaxing in the thermal pools of the Esplanade Tergesteo
    A temperature of around 36°C, whirlpool bubbles, light shows, and flickering fireplaces are the perfect ingredients to conclude a romantic day.
  2. Couple treatments at Well54
    For a shared moment of relaxation: a Saint Barth selection couple massage in our Private SPA Suite. Afterwards, enjoy a steam bath with chromotherapy and relaxation on chaise longues while sipping a refreshing drink.
  3. Wine and food tastings
    No romantic weekend is complete without a special dinner. The Euganean Hills are renowned for their fine wines, such as the sparkling Serprino or Fior d’Arancio DOCG, and typical Venetian cuisine. Numerous restaurants offer traditional flavors. For a gourmet touch with international influences, our Pepita Restaurant provides the perfect setting for a romantic dinner in a golden atmosphere.
  4. Cultural experiences
    On February 14, Villa dei Vescovi in Luvigliano di Torreglia reopens its gates.
    This 16th-century villa, managed by FAI, is a true gem. Perched on a small hill with the Euganean Hills behind and the plain stretching out in front, it offers a charming cultural experience.
  5. Sunset with a view
    What’s more romantic than a sunset?
    If you choose the Monte Fasolo trail or a visit to Arquà Petrarca, don’t miss the panoramic viewpoint at Pianoro del Mottolone, one of the most iconic and photographed spots in the Euganean Hills.
  6. Romantic walks in the Euganean Hills
    The Euganean Hills offer a network of trails perfect for leisurely walks in nature. A simple option is the path leading to the Maronari of Monte Venda, a flat route with splendid views that ends in a clearing where you can admire these centuries-old trees (we recommend parking at Casa Marina and following the signs).
    Alternatively, the Monte Fasolo Trail is ideal for a relaxing stroll with views of the vineyards.
  7. Visits to Medieval villages
    Dedicate a day to discovering the most charming villages in the Euganean Hills.
    Arquà Petrarca is a true medieval gem, known for being the retreat of the famous poet Francesco Petrarca. Its cobbled streets and panoramic views create a timeless romantic atmosphere.
    Monselice is also worth a visit, particularly for the traditional procession along the Path of the Seven Chapels. Since the Middle Ages, every February 14, hundreds of locals have made the pilgrimage to the Sanctuary of the Seven Churches, where the relics of Saint Valentine are preserved. Here, visitors receive a blessed “golden key” traditionally believed to protect children from epilepsy. Over the years, the pilgrimage has grown in popularity, celebrating not only Saint Valentine as the protector of children but also as the patron of lovers, with a variety of events and cultural activities.

An unforgettable stay at Esplanade Tergesteo

With these suggestions, you’re sure to enjoy a complete couple’s experience that combines nature, culture, good food, and wellness — because beautiful things are even better when shared!
