Our Termas da Azenha is situated just outside the small village of Pedrogão do Pranto at the foot of the valley slopes and within the valley of the river Pranto. The river Pranto is a tributary of the river Mondego, the main river which flows into the Atlantic Ocean a few miles further down the valley. As we are situated on the boundary of forest and water we do have two ecosystems holding a very rich mixture of flora and fauna. This area alone is home to around 300 species of birds, a lot of remarkable birds are easy to spot and visit our wetlands frequently; blue kingfisher, heron, stork and flamingo. There is a great variety of pine-, fruit- and foliage trees. The rivers and estuaries around our bath house are filled with all sorts of fish, river lobster, shrimp and frogs. We also spot foxes, rabbits, hares and bats. The area in the valley is often used for fishing and hunting. The area is very well suited for day walks, bike rides and horse riding. The vicinity of the beautiful Atlantic coast, Figueira da Foz and the quiet beaches of Lavos and Leirosa make it a perfect place for nature and sun lovers who come to seek clean air and time for themselves. The medicinal water from our springs is therefore an extra attraction. Although the bathhouse has not properly been used for the last 10 years before we settled in, we still daily welcome local guests; some of them come from far, to take home a few litres of water or soak themselves in one of our healing baths filled with spring water. This region is not only well suited for nature lovers, guests who come to soak up some of Portugal's finest culture find themselves surrounded by lots of opportunities to explore. Coimbra, the city of universities is only 25 miles away. The excavations of the ancient Roman stronghold of Conimbriga are a mere 16 miles away. [Hide Description]
