Montegrotto Terme is one of Europe’s most significant thermal hubs. Its waters, famous for their mineral richness and high natural temperature, constitute a therapeutic heritage of value recognized by the scientific community. At Casa Luna, we welcome guests who wish to benefit from this unique environment, combining comfort, tranquility, and the opportunity to experience the benefits of the Euganean Basin spas.
Origin and path of the thermal water
Euganean thermal water follows a deep and prolonged underground path:
-
it originates in the Pre-alpine area
-
it descends to a depth of approximately 2,000–3,000 meters
-
it is enriched with geothermal energy and minerals
-
it resurfaces at temperatures up to about 85°C This natural cycle, which takes decades, allows the water to become charged with unique mineral substances and chemical-physical properties.
Main mineral composition
The thermal water of the Euganean Basin is characterized by a rich and balanced mineralogical profile, which is decisive for its therapeutic properties. Among the most present minerals, we find magnesium, a fundamental element in enzymatic processes and the functioning of the neuromuscular system. Its presence contributes to muscle relaxation and can promote better quality sleep.
Calcium, known for its structural role in bone tissue and remineralization processes, supports joints and the musculoskeletal structure, making the waters particularly useful in programs dedicated to joint well-being. Silicon plays an important role in collagen synthesis and connective tissue metabolism; this translates into a potential improvement in skin elasticity and tone, with visible effects on skin quality.
The minerals sodium and potassium, essential for hydro-saline regulation and correct cellular exchange, help maintain tissue hydration and balance, supporting the physiological function of the skin and the circulatory system.
Bicarbonate, responsible for pH balance, also promotes soothing properties and a naturally pain-relieving action on muscle and joint structures.
Sulfur, known for its anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties, provides benefits both at the skin level and in the treatment of joint inflammatory processes, proving effective in mild rheumatic and dermatological disorders.
Finally, fluorine, involved in the mineralization of hard tissues, further supports bone and joint health. The synergistic interaction between these elements gives Euganean thermal waters a unique bioactive profile, ideal for prevention treatments, clinical support, and global well-being.
Scientific evidence on benefits
The properties of thermal waters and mud matured in Euganean water are extensively studied. Among the most documented effects:
-
natural anti-inflammatory action
-
reduction of painful joint and muscle symptoms
-
improvement of microcirculation
-
support for tissue metabolism
-
detoxifying action
-
improvement of skin trophism These benefits are observed in conditions such as osteoarthritis, rheumatism, outcomes of trauma, circulatory disorders, and mild inflammatory skin conditions.
The value of Euganean mud therapy
Local thermal mud is recognized as a natural therapeutic product. During maturation — a process that takes place in contact with thermal water for several months — microorganisms and biocolloids develop, giving the mud high anti-inflammatory activity. Numerous studies have compared these effects to those of pharmacological anti-inflammatory molecules, with the advantage of the absence of significant systemic effects.
A wellness-oriented stay
During a stay at Casa Luna, guests can access local thermal centers and benefit from the properties of the water and mud. The apartment offers a quiet, modern, and organized environment to promote rest and psychophysical recovery after treatments. More and more healthcare professionals recognize the value of combining thermal therapies, gentle mobility, and periods of rest to improve quality of life and general well-being.
Conclusion
The thermal water of Montegrotto Terme is a natural concentrate of minerals and biologically active principles. Science confirms its role in supporting joint, skin, and circulatory health, and in promoting a general condition of relaxation and well-being. Staying at Casa Luna means immersing yourself in a context where thermal tradition, quality of life, and tranquility meet, offering a complete wellness experience that respects the body's natural balance.
