Un nuovo complesso termale nel regno del wellness: a Montegrotto l’opening di M2Pools

🌋 The Bregolin family inaugurated the M2Pools thermal pool and Spa complex in Montegrotto Terme, repurposing a former hotel site with a significant investment. M2Pools, adjacent to Hotel Marco Polo, features three pools over 500 square meters each, set in a 3,000 square meter park with adult-only daily access. The Spa offers 48 hydro-massage stations, a cave, a sauna, an emotional thermal path, and energy self-sufficiency through photovoltaic panels.
