Our choice for a hotel for this week was driven by what we could trade for using a soon-to-expire Marriott timeshare week. That put us 30 minutes south of Padova at Galzignano Terme Spa and Resort (http://www.jsh-hotels.com/galzignano/en-GB/). While it looked good from the Internet, you never know until you see it first hand. It turns out to be just fine and is actually three or four different hotels scattered around golf courses and includes pools and spa facilities. There seems to be a lot of space and acreage here. We arrived from the airport in our rental car about 3:30 pm and were quite tired after the drive (that's a story for another post) and the long flight.
After we settled into the room we took a short 45 minute nap, then decided to check out the pools nearby. The one at the next hotel, just a short walk away, is much nicer so we returned to our room, put on our swimsuits, and lounged and swan a little in the pool. It was really nice and relaxing.
We were so relaxed after the swim and the place was so serene, we decided to order something light from the bar and eat by the pool. What else to order but caprese and prosciutto with melon! It was a great way to start our time in Italy.
