Great Spas of Italy

       Known as the “Golden Island”, the Isle of Grado and its Thalasso Therapeutic Center,
is a favored location , due to its closeness to Venice, Aquileia, Palmanova, Udine, Cividale, Gorizia and Trieste .
       The Isle of Grado was the first landing place for Julius Caesar’s ships, keeping the links to the legions staying at Aquileia alive. Thanks to its strong appeal of marine and lagoon landscapes as well as its micro-climate it’s a pleasure to live and visit there even in Winter.
       The richness of the sea water’s elements low in mineral content, the sand, the sun, the climate and its splendid lagoon, made it, with time, one of the most famous destinations for bathing and thermal cures (thalasso therapy).
      The Grand Hotel Astoria was built at the beginning of the 20th century, when Grado was the Habsburgers’ and Middle European aristocracy’s Summer resort, with the name of Hotel Lido. The Hotel knew glory and smartness as the seat of the local casino. It was completely rebuilt and reopened in 1991, continuing its role of a hotel with style, quality and elegance, like an island on the island, for its completeness and quality of its services.
