Inside the cabins there are three baths, two with cold and one with slightly warm water, where you can take a quick bath (we did, just perfect after a walk through the portuguese heat).
The warm one has a flush, so it can be cleared and then refilled to be clean, but the cold ones are also quite clean. There is a hand written "letter" explaining how to use it and kindly asks to treat the place thoroughly, because locals believe that the warm water can heal deseases. There is also a little shrine inside the cabin.

Hiking

There are thermal baths here. The hike up is nice, but I don't know if one should take a real bath here.
