Long term rentals in the centre of Portugal and a B&B&B
We offer a few houses of several sizes in our little village in the centre of Portugal – right in between Lisbon and Porto (each about 180 km away). Termas-da-Azenha is an old spa with pure mineral water which has healing properties for skin diseases. It’s not in use as such anymore but the water still runs through the old baths. We offer our houses as longterm rentals since the C-risis of 2020. Our little village lies right around the bend of civilization, not completely isolated but undisturbed by too much human presence. Bird lovers adore this area, as there are quite some species to observe. Hikers and rest seekers love it here as well. Not far from some nice varied beaches; the closest is 17 km away.
A passion for nice fabrics + an urge to make beautiful things = exclusive bathrobes and kimonos. Have a look at our collection while you’re here. Most of them are two-sided, comfortable, unique pieces.
WATER
The mineral water, still running through the baths, is of an excellent quality. It’s analyzed every year, because we use it every day so we’d like to know what’s in it. The main traits are magnesium and calcium, two things that are extraordinary good for the skin. That is why it always has been a spa resort for people with a license and a doctor and everything. It comes with 30º out of the “Monte do Barril” – the hill on the other side of the road, that serves as an enormous subterranean barrel, where the water is heated by Mother Earth herself to this luke-warm temperature.
The water runs for hundreds of years, first described by Dr. Fonseca in 1711. In those days, people took baths in wooden tubs, in a wooden shack. Different times …

We do not use the bathhouse as such anymore – we don’t have ambition to be a spa resort again. Different times; people expect luxurious rooms and dito baths, a pool with a fountain and massages. There’s enough of that. We want to preserve this monument in time. To show where we all come from. To show the history of this place. Don’t worry, the houses are up to date.

ATTRACTIVE SURROUNDINGS
There is plenty to do in the vicinity. Surfing on one of the beaches, sight-seeing in Coimbra, climbing in the skygarden in Figueira da Foz, kayaking on the Mondego, visiting an enchanting local market, shopping in a ultra modern shopping centre, visiting the centuries old library in Coimbra, and much more.
CAMPING
The nicest part of the year is of course summer, but don’t forget spring and autumn! Spring is colorful and full of flowers, autumn still has nice weather to man up for the coming winter. People who want to enjoy nature, campers, bird watchers, surfers, hikers, mosaic enthusiasts, single holidays – holidays the way you want it.
We look forward to welcoming you here!
