When spring allergies are shaking, and the air of cities becomes difficult to breathe, nature claims its territory and offers a refuge that heals not only the body, but also the soul. Somewhere, at the foot of the Southern Carpathians, in Oltenia below the mountain, the Băile Govora resort opens its doors for those looking for relief, tranquility and a truly clean air.

Unique in Europe, Govora is the place where healing waters with rare properties – rich in iodine, bromine and sulfur – meet with an exceptional therapeutic microclimate. In the heart of a forest of deciduous and coniferous, which covers more than 370 hectares, the spa resort of Vâlcea breathes differently. On their own. The air here is not only fresh – it is naturally filtered by forest and loaded with an almost perfect balance between positive and negative ions, a rarity even among the spa resorts of Europe.
