With 11 indoor and outdoor pools, Aquardens is the largest thermal park in Italy. Only a few kilometers from Verona and Lake Garda, it's the perfect day out for anyone in need of relaxation. With pools, lagoons, caves and waterfalls that all contain salty-bromine-iodine thermal water that flows pure at 37°C, it's a safe bet that you'll unwind from life's usual stresses. Aquardens also features a sauna village, inspired by ancient Nordic tradition. In the large ritual saunas, skilled aufgussmeisters perform Aufguss rituals and steam shows, accompanied by music and enriched by fragrant and enthralling essences. You'll also find Mediterranean baths, steam baths and a Finnish sauna, along with relaxation areas, an ionized rock salt wall and warm sand beds that provide a unique environment to relax in.

Te Palace, also called Palazzo Te, is a 16th-century Mannerist (Late Renaissance) palace in Mantua, Italy. It was built for Federico II Gonzaga, Duke of Mantua, as a retreat from his royal duties.
