  Fabulous winter relaxation

  The hotel is really classic Italian (throw back to the 1980s) but immaculate and has all the amenities of a modern hotel. The hotel is huge. We had been to the spa only in the summertime, and this was our first stay at the hotel winter time. Roberto Corso, at the front desk graciously received us and made sure that we were satisfied with our appointed room. Kudos to Roberto for his professionalism and warmth that really made us feel welcomed. The spa and pools are opened till 11 PM. It was absolutely magnificent swimming outdoors in the thermal pools, lit up in the densest fog at 6 degrees C. The atmosphere was relaxed and the crowd was mostly young. The hotel must be very popular with locals, there were very few foreigners around. There are also many a curative treatments and massages that we saw offered. The price is right including breakfast. The breakfast was good, no fresh fruits or veggies though, lots of baked goods, meats and cheeses and the usual cereals and juices. The service was very good and I'd love to come back here again summertime too. The outdoor pools are fabulous.

  Relaxing

  We went just for the day and had a pleasant experience. People at the front desk are nice and helpful.we went on a Monday and it was still very crowded. The pools are very nice a And I love that you can go from inside to outside swimming in the hot water. Its very eighties... probably need remodernation.

  a 3 stars hotel

  I think this hotel is overrated. I would have given 5stars to it if it was a 3 stars hotel, but as a 4 stars it just deserves 2of them. The receptionists didn't make us feel welcomed, they didn't even explain us where the room was and they didn't even know where our id card was. I found out later on that they gave it to my mother who was staying in another hotel. The room was nice, not amazing. The breakfast was belove average.

  too much chlorine was placed.

  too much chlorine was placed, and it was impossible to use the covered pool, the eyes were stinging from the strong chlorine and it hurt the throat from the smell very strong, we could not resist to stay as late as we had proposed, it was impossible to resist and we decided to leave earlier than we planned to stay, the time we spent we could only stay in the outside pool.

  Overnight stay along a Business Trip

  I Travel for Business and Leisure in 4* and 5* Hotels and I had never experience such a treatment. I booked a room for an overnight stay as the weather forecasted snow and I expressly asked for a day of vacation to be able to have the option to swim outdoors while snowing, so for one time I thought to skip Abano and try Montegrotto. As a Triathlete, Hotel Petrarcas external outdoor Olympic pool looked unique as it really was, so I could fulfill my dream of swimming outdoors in mid winter during snowfall. Too bad that I experienced the worst of hotel staff in my whole life, and that a number of reviews around the web do fully confirm my experience. In fact, unlike what happens in Abano where in ANY spa hotel you get FREE spa access with FREE bathrobe, Petrarca is the only one place in this area which is not offering this service. My room did not have the spa access included, and no one cared about warning me. So I checked in, clearly stated that i was checking in alone and that a friend of mine would join in the afternoon, and right went into the spa, noticing a strange man following all of my moves, especially when unloading by luggage. I was then annoyed by the reception about having an incomplete check-in and i re-stated that I had to wait for my friend to come. The friend finally came, checked in, and since she was missing a bathrobe, i thought to rent one for her, but that strange and uneasy presence was following us We got the kind exception in the morning to be able to have breakfast at 7:15 instead of 7:30 because my friend needed to rush for work: the breakfast room was ready, so they welcomed us. I then stayed until the checkout time, used their beautiful pool and spa area for the last time, and went for the checkout within the correct time, listing all of the extra services I used, including minibar items . consider my surprise when the receptionist added and the spa use for two persons charging me 60 extra euros with a we caught you attitude I still feel uneasy about. Now I understood the reason for that strange presence following all of my moves: the hotel porter, instead of helping me with the luggage, was following my moves to be sure I was charged for everything. NEVER in my life I have received such a treatment and NEVER ever I will: this hotel goes straight into my ENEMY LIST, considering that my Black-List has no more than 3 items, but I needed a new category. Yes, Hotel Petrarca is really unique, outdoor pools, unique outdoor 50m external pool, and hotel staff has no clue about what customer delight is and this is NOT a relax place: being the spa area accessible for a reasonable fee, external people can use it, and the night before I had to stand the yelling of a wide group of young kids not worth a 1* dormitory. NEVER EVER WASTE YOUR MONEY IN SUCH A PLACE, which could make some sense in the 60s, an era of which it retains the elevators and the structures and the porter move a mile away in Abano and get superior service wherever for almost half of the price. As soon as I find some time, I will write the local municipality office about this, and have them check similar reviews on the web, as this behavior brings down the prestige of the whole area. And im saving the details about the behavior of most of the spa staff against other guests as it still hurts. First Vote below 6.0 on Booking since ever, and its not lower as the place is really unique in the whole world: should you want to experience it, do it as an external customer, considering that Abanos public pool offer a better service and a unique 50m open external thermal pool for 5 to 6 euros, and they have lifeguards on it, so you dont risk the life for being deeply offended by inadmissible staff.
