Swim-up Rooms & Private Pools in Coimbra District

Flot hotel men svært at komme ind - vi var blevet ringet op ( sms) om hvor når vi kom og havde ikke set det- indtjekning fra kl 15 og vi var der kl 16 men det lykkedes- når I skriver gratis velkomst drink er det så vand?

We really enjoyed our stay here. Hotel was comfortable and staff were helpful and cheerful. We opted for morning breakfast ... highly recommend. It was delicious and lots of choices.

Un hotel, bonito, limpio, silencioso. El personal muy agradable.

Una sorpresa este hotel. Muy agradable y la piscina estupenda.

A secluded and quiet place to relax in, away from the busy city life. We stayed at the Nogueira house. The houses have all the amenities needed for a short or long stay. A beautiful job has been done in recovering the old stone houses and modernizing it, keeping its original charm and architecture, and a mix of countryside themed and quirky decor. A generous breakfast is served daily, including delicious fresh bread and cake that are left in a cloth bag outside your door (like in the “old days”). There’s also basic staples like fruit, salt, and (locally produced and available to buy at the reception) olive oil. And newly picked flowers everyday! The pool area is inviting and the salt water pool is cleaned daily. We were the only ones there for the most part. The restaurant is conveniently located within the premises. The food quality is superior and the staff was amazing in welcoming and guiding us through the menu and wine pairing. The staff went out of their way to make us fell welcomed, sharing tips of places to visit in the surrounding area, and was always on call for anything we needed. It was the second time at Villa Pedra and will most definitely return!

Sehr schöne Anlage mit unterschiedlichen Wohnungen. Zu jeder Wohnung gehört eine Terrasse und ein Garten. Wir hatten zwar nur eine kleine Terrasse, aber das war i. O. Wir haben dafür mehr den Garten des Pools genutzt, welcher sehr schön und gepflegt ist. Wir haben mit Frühstück gebucht, was sehr gut war. Ein MUSS ist auf jeden Fall das eigene Restaurant, wo es ein sehr gutes Menü gab. Das Servicepersonal ist wirklich sehr nett, egal ob Gärtner, Reinigungspersonal, Restaurantmitarbeiter und insbesondere der Empfang, welcher sich wirklich um alles kümmert. Ein schöner Ort zum entspannen.

A beautiful residence with care for details. Amazing rooms in every possible way. The view is fantastic and the pool area is really nice!

This was the most relaxing stay! We were deep in the countryside in our own stone village with great amenities and fresh bread, fruit, cheese, jam and honey for our kitchen every day. No restaurant on site or in walking distance but it was fun and challenging diving around exploring the region on back roads to get to the each town with its castle and church.

Villas con todas las comodidades a un precio ajustado por lo que ofrecen. El ambiente y el estilo de todo el alojamiento es único y hacen de la estancia una experiencia excepcional. Decoración y trato exquisito. Muy, muy recomendable para disfrutar de unos días de relax.

Location bit far away from city, but it was nice and quiet place for family vacation. Teenagers loved the pool and that they was a lowed swimming in the evening. That was big thing for them.

I really liked the peace and tranquility of the sleepy little village Alem, coupled with this beautiful villa with a good sized swimming pool which are both very well maintained by Roy and Diane, made this an ideal week in the sun for me. The villa itself is an immaculate property which is very clean and nice and bright during the day with all the natural sunlight flooding in, and by night it feels there is a light switch on every flat surface which makes it strolling down to the pool for a late night swim or exiting the property very safe. The two river beaches I visited, within a twenty minute drive were excellent whether you want to lay on a beach or stroll along the river itself were great days out and every time I returned from said days out, the pool was ready to dip into, thank you again the invisible man. Overall this was a relaxing week in the very picturesque area of Coimbra, thanks again guys. Yours most rechargeabled Scotty. X This is not a negative in any way and maybe I just missed them but I can't remember a usb port in any of the bedrooms. This is just a thought but it would really enhance the place if we could charge our ever needed mobile devices through the night. Thanks again and love you lots Scotty the Scotsman xx

The whole experience was great. Diane (and Roy) is a really nice host. You could always ask them for something and they helped us out, but they are very discrete as well! Beautiful view at the very nice swimming pool and especially from the living level. A Beautiful area and you will experience a lot of privacy. A car is recommended but we used the local taxi driver, who was very nice. Thanks Diane and Roy for everything!

This was our 2nd stay at Vivenda Pirilampo, and we love it. Our hosts, Diane and Roy couldn't be more helpful and kind despite being totally discreet . The villa is comfortable and spotlessly clean. The patios and pool area are outstanding with fabulous views. There is plenty to see in the area. We just love it and will definitely be back.

Everything. The hosts, the venue, the views, the facilities, the quality, the pool, the area, value for money. NOTHING to dislike!! If you can find better, then please tell me, on second thoughts don't bother, we wouldn't want to go anywhere else. We have absolutely fallen in love with Vivenda Pirilampo.

The comfortable bed, huge terrace with stunning views, great pool and delightful owners.

Very nice stay in a cosy and well-equipped casa in a beautiful environment! Friendly hosts offering vegetables from own garden and some cool local wine.

I recently stayed in one of the rooms at the EXE Wellington Hotel, and I must say it was a very pleasant experience. The room was spacious, bright, and impeccably clean. The bed was extremely comfortable, ensuring a perfect night's sleep. Additionally, the view from the window was enchanting and added a touch of magic to my stay. The breakfast was excellent, offering a wide variety of delicious options to start the day right. The quality of service was also excellent, with everything I needed easily within reach. I highly recommend the EXE Wellington Hotel to anyone looking for comfortable and high-quality accommodation.

Without a doubt, the ideal place to stay in Figueira da Foz. From reception to check-out, the staff did everything they could to accommodate our requests and make our stay enjoyable. The location is central and close to many restaurants and bars, 2 minutes walk from the promenade and the city market and next to the casino. The parking arrangement is convenient and very reasonably priced (7 euros per day) The breakfast is excellent, rich and varied and the staff is efficient and helpful.

Beautiful hotel with spacious and comfortable beds, nice bathroom, clean place with some sports facilities, with a possibility of parking the car in a parking garage (not expensive), close to the city centre and the beach, offering different kinds of food in their restaurants. There’s also a casino right in front of the hotel, the staff were very nice. The breakfast rich and great variety of foods.

Breakfast was good, new things everyday. Excellent cakes... But not many salty alternatives, only eggs and mushrooms, so you could try something different for a change, Staff was very helpfull and friendly. Aplauses to Carla Raquel, very intelligent and with great potential. Also many thanks to Paula Nunes, who helped us on our arrival with the Zona Verde problem we had. Overall, it was a great time

Lovely hotel, very helpful and friendly staff. We particularly appreciated the secure storage for our bikes and the help we got to get the bikes into the storage area. Rooms were very spacious, clean, comfortable. The reception staff gave us some recommendations for dinner, The one we chose was very good. Breakfast was excellent, plenty of choice and a really pleasant space to eat in!

The rooms were very comfortable and clean. The shared spaces were well kept including the pool area. The staff were very attentive and had a good sense of customer service. Breakfast had a good variety.

The room was spacious, the jacuzzi in the room, the indoor and outdoor pool. it was a fantastic stay and experience… was fab! defo will book back.

Staff were terrific. Garage was excellent. Pool area was welcoming. Food was well presented and very tasty. Breakfast was excellent

Nice and quite hotel with great breakfast and swimming pool.

Rooms size is good, pool, jacuzzi and steam bath, Friendly Staff

My kiddo and I felt like we were experiencing living like real princesses. This historic building, the gorgeous grounds were straight out of my dreams. We LOVED the forest walk nearby, with the famous steps with water flowing down (which is a MUST to go on the walking trails in the forest!), with gate where Jesus was thought to have also crossed under. The forest itself is so lush, it's a magical place! We loved sitting in the grand room (on the main floor) to have a cocktail, as we played a boardgame and read our books. The hotel staff went out of their way to help us when we messaged our questions/concerns about a bad storm that was said to be coming (it passed us thankfully), and took great pride giving us a private tour to describe the history of the building before showing us to our room (which I believe they do for all upon check in). The breakfast which is included was amazing, as is the stunning ball room you get to sit in.

The palace is magnificent and a privilege to be able to stay in it! The architecture of the building, the tiled frescos, ambience and charm, it is like staying in a museum. Staff are extremely helpful and welcoming, especially Joanna in the breakfast room - who knew our coffees orders within one morning and took care of us for our 4 day stay. The breakfast room, especially the outdoor space is like a shot from a film, overlooking the grand palace gardens and further onto Busaco woods. The rooms themselves are nice and comfortable, sure they are not ultra luxury palatial rooms, but if they were normal humans couldn't afford to even stay here. But they are quiet, clean and comfortable. So it's great the rooms are affordable as you get to experience just being in the insanely beautiful space, walking out the palace doors into one of the most beautiful gardens you'll visit. Plus sites abound nearby like Luso (for small town charm and spring water) and the Roman ruins of Conimbriga which are awesome!

The building and interior take you royal times. It's as if you are in a museum, but you can touch everything and sit on the old chairs. - true masterpieces. Respectfully, for sure. The atmosphere is very soothing. It's very calm here. If you happen to stay when there are no loud guests or big companies in the property, you'll be lucky to enjoy trully quite dinner time and peaceful time in salon with a glass of porto. Everything here makes you slow down, lower your voice and just relax or enjoy the details of the preserved interior. Yet please remember: it's not a gorgeous palace covered in gold, but place for the royal family and their guests to stay during hunting time. It's pretty modest, yet awesome. If you opt for dinner here, try meagre fish for the main dish. It's worth of the gourmet attention.

The location is incredible, sitting right in the middle of a formal garden surrounded by forests, it feels like a palace stay. The architecture of the hotel was breathtaking old world Portuguese splendor, including the dinning room and expansive sitting room. You can take long walks through the forests from right outside the hotel door, including to stunning overlooks for sunsets over the entire valley, there was a restaurant, cafe, and coffee shop/bar onsite for the perfect afternoon break or end to the day. The staff was very professional and incredibly accommodating. I added an extra night for a three-night stay so stayed in two rooms, one of which had a lovely view of the garden and one of which had an expansive view of the forest. The wood-carved furniture throughout the hotel made it feel like something really special to spend time in.

We loved the beautiful facilities of the palace hotel. It was stunning on the outside and very charming on the inside. Our rooms were comfortable and there were adjoining rooms, which helped us as a family. The staff was very professional and friendly. The forest around the hotel was enchanting and lovely to explore. We had a delicious tasting menu from the restaurant in the evening and a lovely glass of port to relax in the lounge following. We also enjoyed their buffet breakfast which I had everything one might want and everything was fresh and tasty. We are so happy we added this place as a stop on our trip through Portugal..

This was truly an exceptional stay. The guesthouse is beautiful and has a very interesting history. It is the former house of the owner's great-grandparents, who were rice farmers. Now it is a stunning property with a pool, beautiful garden and farm with fruit trees and chickens (that provide the eggs for breakfast). Luiz is incredibly kind and welcoming, as is the rest of the staff. The house itself is really beautiful, it's a historical building, but very tastefully modernized, so that it is as comfortable as any luxury hotel, but much more interesting and charming. The kitchen is incredibly cozy, there's a woodburning oven, a fridge with local beers and wines, as well as fresh fruit from the garden and (insanely good) freshly baked cake. The room really was like a luxury hotel room, very comfortable mattress, huge bathroom with a new shower, etc. Breakfast was delicious and included many products from the farm, like eggs, jams, juice, etc. The house is located outside Coimbra, but only a five minute drive away from the city centre, which I actually preferred, because at night it was quiet and calm (and much easier to find parking than in the old city). I stayed for one night and while you really only need one day to see the major sights in Coimbra, next time I would stay for a few extra days to relax in the guesthouse and explore the area more.

Everything! It was an urban farm experience with fresh eggs from their chickens and fresh squeezed orange juice from their trees. The outdoor seating area was comfortable and spacious and the pool was very clean and inviting. The house was over a century old and lovingly restored to keep its original character ( including the huge rooster collection!). Complimentary daily home baked cake, fresh fruit and their own specialty liqueur was available any time. The room was very clean and comfortable and the bed was awesome. Breakfast was fresh and delicious. The specialness was the welcome we received from Edgar who had pre-prepared a city map with recommendations for sites of interest ( university of Coimbra is a must!) and restaurants. He was very accommodating for making reservations at restaurants for us. The small staff were also very friendly.

Charming renovated with love house with inner yard, garden and swimming pool. Perfect location 5 min drive from Coimbra. Free on street parking near by, comfortable bed and nice shower, amazing portuguese made cosmetic for the shower I enjoyed very much (now thinking to find and buy for my home), amazing breakfast with fresh eggs from their own chickens, fruits, pastries, home made jams and much more to name....breakfast was for sure more than we eat in the morning, but we ate it all, it was soo good. Luiz gave us great local recommendations for the restaurants and Fado, so our three dates in Coimbra were fantastic. Thank you again Luiz and the team for such a lovely stay, would stay again in a heartbeat.

An oasis near beautiful Coimbra with a lot of family history and attention to detail. Luis and his staff make you feel at home instantly and once you pass through the gate, you are on holiday. We enjoyed every moment in this very special place - we would highly recommend it. While it is not in the center of Coimbra, it is only a short distance away (Euro 5 with Uber and less than 10 minutes) - and we liked being able to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city. Luis serves a wonderful breakfast with fruits and vegetables from his communal farm. And when you open that bottle of Rosé by the pool in the afternoon, life is just good.

Oryza is something absolutely special. The historical, family background of the place, the greatest interior design combining the tradition with the modernism. Every detail designed with care and aesthetics. It is like a magical place. You have big organic garden ar the place where all the fruits and veggies served for breakfast come from :) you can spend your chill time relaxing on the garden beds and armchairs, watching the swimming pool or ceramic portals and benches or walk in the garden. The owners and the service team are helpful, friendly, very much engaged in creating pleasant atmosphere in Oryza. Food is out of this world!

What can I say - we loved the Astoria so much we booked in twice staying for a total of 6 nights. The Astoria was built in the 1920's and no expense was spared - think lots of brass, carved wooden paneling and art-deco glitz and glamour. Okay so its a bit dated and the decor could do with a spruce up but it just oozes charm, care and attention. The lift is the original 100 year old item and it even had a fold down seat. We had river view rooms for both stays and the vibe around the area is great - very safe out at night and lots to see and do. There is a great bar literally round the corner and a 2 minute walk takes you into the center of the city. The hotel does a fantastic buffet breakfast in the large and airy dining room. Add into this the most attentive and genuinely caring staff and whats not to like. Get booking.......................

The Hotel Astoria offers a truly unique and memorable stay right in the heart of Coimbra. Stepping into the lobby is like taking a charming trip back in time; the hotel has retained its beautiful, classic Belle Époque architecture and antique fixtures, which adds an incredible amount of character. Our room was spacious and clean, and the staff were friendly and efficient throughout our stay. The location is just perfect for our short Trip. The main drawback of our experience, however, was the hotel's age and construction, which made it quite hellhörig (thin-walled). We could clearly hear noise from the neighboring rooms and the hallway, but it doesn’t bother us, since we‘re both tired from our Day trip.

We stayed here twice during out month long stay in Portugal - both times it was a great experience. The Astoria is a historical "landmark" building from the 1920's in the middle of Coimbra. Okay so its not hip and happening - the hipsters wont be flocking to stay there - that suits me down to the ground. Great staff, great breakfast , great views and all at a reasonable cost. Would you like to have a stay in a lovely hotel that simply oozes art deco charm and style - get booking.

We were fortunate to have the absolute best room of the hotel. Top floor at the end at the curvature of the building. If you could not have this one, then the ones at the lower 2 floors. Also great location at the flatter areas and 15 yards to the beautiful walking street of restaurants and charm of old architecture. Also an absolute must to arrange a tour of one of the oldest Universities in Europe and its equally astounding library.

We loved staying at the charming art deco hotel. It was close to the station and right in the heart of the old town. The furnishings were lovely. It felt like we were enjoying a slice of history. The breakfast was lovely and the staff were most friendly. This was a great place to stay and so close to the sights of Coimbra.

Terrific location, difficult to locate as no hotel name posted. Had to go by street/house number. I6 step steep stair-way to entry. Self check-in, check-out with email code. Clean, large boutique style room and bathroom. Vehicles are not allowed on passageway/promenade so the taxi drop off is about 50 meters from hotel entrance.

Great location, nice building and smooth communication with reception over messages. No breakfast but on a Main Street with many cafes around. Very cosy and secured with a good cctv system. Has fridge n microwave in the room for ease.

we arrived and were given the room that didn’t meet our request and as a result the staff allowed us to select the room we wanted, the location is perfect, it was clean and the room was huge.

The location was perfect right in the heart of the town for shops, restaurants etc. The room was absolutely spotless and instructions for entry very clear there was also facilities to leave luggage as we arrived before check in.

Perfect position, clean and nice room. We parked on the other side of the river, 5 minutes walking from the hotel, as suggested, and it was an ideal solution. Super recommended!

Beautiful place. Lots of unique decor. Shower was good, bed was a little soft for us. My parents' room struggled to stay cool. It is next to a prison, just fyi. It did not bother us. Actually we felt a bit safer because of this, but we were surprised. Parking on the street was easy and free. No elevator so be ready to climb some stairs. Pictures on the website showed suspended beds and rooms. We booked two rooms and did not get one of these rooms, even with the room of 3 people. They just scooted an extra bed in with the main bed. So it was tight quarters. I had thought we would get a separate sleeping area from our daughter. It was fine, but I thought I was getting a 2 different bed areas. Overall, very nice place and would stay again if it were just 2 of us.

Coimbra is a great place to visit and this is a great place to stay in Coimbra. It's easy to get to and you can park in the street. It's quite close to the university and a pleasant walk down to the shops and restaurants and there are buses back up if you don't want the climb. The staff were friendly and helpful and our room on the first floor was spacious and comfortable. It was hot when we arrived but cooled down with the air con. With a fridge, coffee machine and microwave we didn't need the breakfast - the bolos de arroz from one of the downtown pastelarias were delicious. Dinner in Fangas restaurant was also good.

Our experience at Casa de Sao Bento was truly delightful. The apartments are tastefully decorated and offer a cozy atmosphere. The location is excellent, situated in a charming neighborhood with easy access to the city's attractions. The staff was friendly and attentive, making sure my stay was comfortable. I particularly enjoyed the amenities provided, such as the well-equipped kitchen and comfortable bedding. Overall, Casa de Sao Bento exceeded my expectations and I would highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area.

Great newly renovated hotel. When you look the room photos you can't say that the hotel itself is so stylish and well-designed. The location is a bit uphill, but the whole city is about going up and down. As to the "prison view" that several commentators mentioned - it looks more like a big church or something, or like a regular building, so nothing scary, not a problem at all.

The room in the main house on the 1st floor (I believe it’s depicted on the promo picture here on Booking) was perfect. The room was clean and matched the description. I stayed in Casa de Sao Bento for 2 different periods in two different rooms and I liked the room in the adjacent building much less.

We loved this place. The location is simply stunning - we could see such a long way and a lot of the north of Portugal right out of the window of our apartment and from the pool area. It is a great place to watch gorgeous sunsets. The pool is wonderful. We were lucky as there were not too many people and a lot of the time we had the pool to ourselves. It was very relaxing. I spent a lot of the time floating in the pool just contemplating the view. The apartment itself is well-equipped. We used the kitchen every day and it was very convenient. The bathroom was clean and we had an option to get replacement towels. The shower is very good with a big showerhead and a lot of hot water. The bed is comfortable and the aircon worked really well, keeping it cool in the summer heat. The owners are very nice and chilled and are happy to help. There is easy street parking nearby. This place is very close to the centre of town so you can get to the restaurants and shops quite easily. It is also a good base to explore Serra da Estrela. Overall, we really enjoyed our 3-night stay and left very refreshed and well-rested.

Everything was excellent! We booked for one night with a baby, very clean and comfortable, elevator access, spacious room (even the smaller one), an available crib was requested and a great breakfast. The staff are very nice and explain to you what you can visit and where to eat. The swimming pool is a plus, unfortunately we didn't had the time to try it, the weather was great for it. A parking lot nearby makes it easy to take your stuff and park the car safely. Great location to stay and explore Serra da Estrela and other interests around.

We received the most warm and friendly welcome to this gorgeous house which has been designed with an eye for style-its very subtle but we noticed it. From colour choices, to logo design and design in the rooms. Big comfortable bed, a little balcony, the tiny bar and the lovely pool in the perfect position to enjoy a magnificent sunset over Seia. Breakfast was good too. Its a really lovely place-we'd definitely stay here again

Every now and then you stumble across a Hotel that's a gem and that for me is this one. on the edge of the Serra de Estrella. The hotel is a minute or two's walk from the town centre of Seia, bars, restaurants, shops etc. has a pool to relax, excellent rooms and good food, breakfast a rare treat full of local produce and home made cakes ! I would definitely stay again.

A beautiful property situated in a quaint town. The staff was very helpful in directing us to wonderful restaurants within the town and provided a detailed explanation of points of interest throughout Serra de Estrela. Our room had a balcony with a beautiful view, and in warmer weather, the pool would have been absolutely fabulous. The accommodation was wonderful, the breakfast spread beyond expectations, and the staff incredibly friendly. Highly recommend.

You will live in an old townhouse in Figueira da Foz - and there are not too many left. The owners renovated it with love and understanding. As soon as you enter the house you feel welcome. The staff is exceptionally friendly and welcoming. The rooms are decorated elegant and yet modern. There is an "honesty bar", a library, a court yard, the breakfast room is simply wonderful and the breakfast offers more than enough to start a day. And if something is missing the staff will do anything to please you and help. Wow!

Lovely hotel in an old renovated house; great interior design and keeping the original stype of the house. very modern rooms (access by code), airy feelings, nice and clean bathrooms. The house offers 2 common rooms (outside terrace and living room with wooden stove) for the travelers to meet. Great breakfast selection and outstanding staff - very helpful in terms of food options, where to travel and general sugggestions. They make you feel very welcome and at home. Can only recommend others to stay there if travelling to Figuera da Foz or the sourrounding areas

Cristina and Ines were the most kind and helpful hosts who really made you feel welcome. Nothing was too much trouble. The breakfast was absolutely perfect! So much choice and continuously replenished. A delicious start to the day 😋 The hotel was in a quiet part of the town but it was easy to reach the restaurants the beaches and generally wander around this lovely town. The bed was comfortable and the room was clean. We loved the added extra that there was always cake and coffee or tea whenever you wanted it.

I have seen a few hundred renovations in Europe. This property is charmed with every incredible detail: historic flavor with modern comfort. The pictures don't really do it justice. Then layer on the service from Cristina and Joyce....I didn't want to leave! Seriously, the linens were mind blowing. I didn't want to get out of bed! The breakfast spread and service was unreal. Private patios for a quiet, late-night cocktail from the honor bar.....Just crazy good. If you can get a room, take it!

Incredibly kind and friendly hosts, Cristina and Inés. We have the best impressions of the lovely town Figueira da Foz, opened up to us so soulful and cozy thanks to this place. Cristina told us about the history of the hotel, gave us really useful recommendations and when checkout, made a photo of me and my husband (I always appreciate this opportunity). Beautiful design, great breakfast, perfectly clean charming house where we would gladly come back. It feels like everything is made with love in this hotel.

This place was absolutely amazing! The photos do not do it justice! It was a great find and we were so happy with the apartment, we honestly were sad to have to leave. First off, although it was a bit of a trek to get to it -- walking up a steep, cobblestone hill -- it was worth the work. You walk into the medieval ages, with both the authenticity of stone walls, yet the convenience of modern amenities, and the view of the cathedral no less! The location was fantastic (we walked everywhere) and the whole Coimbra experience was truly a joy! I highly recommend this place!!! (Caveat: not for those who have problems walking).

I booked last minute as a birthday gift to my husband and I had some questions the night before and I received my answers very fast. I received a text message and an email with all the information on they day of the check-in and everything worked out. The view was absolutely stunning! The babybed we requested was there. The suite itself has much space and our kids loved it. Very clean and the shower is great. Thank you for making our stay so good, we'll definitely come back to visit again when we go back to Coimbra 🥰

No breakfast but plenty of eating places around. Location is the best you can dream of although it is on a short steep street with no car access. The room is very special, it has an atmosphere between a cave and a medieval stone house. Some will not like it. We liked it very much. Most of Coimbra's attractions are within a short walking distance. There is a lot of live music nearby, Fado, Jazz and more.

When we walked into our room on the second floor, we said WOW. The stone walls, woodwork & view were amazing. Don't be surprised by the outside. It's a climb, but authentic. The local square was charming. The restaurants were great. It's a very short uphill walk to the university. Take the guided tour. It was worth it. Make sure to go to the old university library. All the people of Coimbra were kind and welcoming.

The hostess was punctual and friendly, allowed us to check in earlier. The property was clean, warm, comfortable and equipped with everything necessary for a stay of several days. A liveely an pleasant room, perfect location in the center of the beautiful ancient city. A bit difficult to go up the street but it didn't make a big problem.

THis hotel is inb the best location for visiting the town if you have a car. The parking is free and although not covered in convenient in front of the hotel, When you drive away to the right is the shopping center and supermarket and to the left free parking to walk across the bridge and enjoy old town. Whee ever you go you can find the hotel across the river and drive there. We had the best room in the hotel with a double bed and large balcony with picnic table and two chairs. Although the hotel offers everything you need it is a bit worn and I would hope would replace the carpets with wood or tile floors. The breakfast was a feast with care of all special diets, much appreciated.

So much more than we expected for the price. Excellent hotel. Breakfast superb and dinner exceptionaly good. Do not however start on the hors-d'oeuvre which is delivered to every table while waiing for your main course. Although delicious it prooved to be an expensive extra to the ordered food which was very good value. The walk down to the old city in daylight was very easy and safe, although not all on public footpaths. The reception will show you the path, they all speak good English and are very helpful.. but would recommend a taxi back to the hotel at night after walking the city all day. Not expensive at all. Definatly would return to this hotel, found the distance from the city no problem at all, and the view incredible

Our tour group stopped at Dom Luis Hotel for lunch. The hotel is located outside of Coimbra on a hillside overlooking the old city, the University, the river, and the Bridge, off a highway, and off a roundabout on the ring road, in a quiet and peaceful area. It is not in walking distance from the city center, nor from restaurants but with easy access to the historic center of Coimbra. It is on the other side of the Mondego River, but provides free transfer service that takes guests to the historic city center. Our group had a nice buffet lunch and the staff was very nice and friendly.The restaurant was superb with a great view over the city.

If you have a car, location is great, no need to worry about parking. It is on the other side of the River from city centre, a short drive to the bridge. We parked the car in the public free parking lot and walked across the bridge. The gate, city centre and University are walking distance from the bridge, but walk uphill, it is a beautiful hilly city. The breakfast buffet in the hotel was the best, a lot of varieties, restaurant clean and comfortable. Our room has a nice view of the River, room is clean, bed comfortable. We enjoyed our stay, a very good value.

Had a very enjoyable 4 nights here in October. Plenty of free parking outside. The hotel fronts a pedestrian promenade, so no traffic between hotel and beach. Main entrance is at back, and this is a quiet side roan. Good room, all clean and functional. Good choice of English language TV channels, eg BBC1. Friendly and helpful staff. Reasonable buffet meals for breakfast and dinner. Very nice terrace facing the sea for drinks, bar food, and watching a great sunset over the sea.

Breakfast was good and had a good variety at the buffet. Staff was always friendly and helpful. The pool and the pool area, garden and facilities are amazing, I spent most days not even wanting to leave the hotel to go elsewhere, because it was perfect and very relaxing. The room has aircon and all facilities were more than enough for me, as a solo traveler.

The Location was a little difficult to find at first with satellite but this was due to the bridge and motorway network. After the first visit it was easy. The complex was immaculate as was our room. Stunning is the only word to describe. Raquel at reception took great care of us during our stay, nothing was to much trouble for her, she was very professional at her job. Breakfast was superb with a great variety for all nationality's. The pool was perfect as a cool down from the blistering heat. I probably should not have left this review as I believe it will be difficult to make a booking in the future due to being full with guests. First class hotel. One of the best we have stayed at in Figueira da Foz. Well done

Host Rachel was so kind to give us tired bikers a beautiful room by the pool. The breakfast was fabulous Would definitely book again

Everything Classy establishment with secure parking beautiful pool area very polite staff nice room and excellent included breakfast / Exceptional Value in Portugal

A small intimate hotel which seems to specialise in events - weddings etc. The location was further out of the town than we'd expected & so we had to drive each day. Our room was one of four at the front of the hotel outside the main building. It was comfortable with a large double bed. The bathroom concept was interesting - it was in the rear section of the room, across the whole width & separated by a frosted glass wall. Continental style breakfast was taken in the main hotel building and there was plenty of choice with supplies being replenished regularly. There is secure car parking within the grounds of the hotel which is gated and accessed via your room card key. A small swimming pool at the front of the hotel, although we didn't make use of it.

Great location it was clean and very basic but all we needed for exploring Coimbra for 3 nights. We loved our stay and would highly recommend it.

I had a very pleasant stay at this accommodation. The staff were extremely kind and communicative, despite they reached me out exclusively via WhatsApp.

Excellent and beautiful location, in the Heart of the old town but silent and quite at night...

excellent location. very good kitchen facilities. super powerful shower with lots of hot water

Comfortable and cozy very neat clean quiet area

It is a beautiful cottage that meets all your needs. It is in an idyllic setting where all you can hear is the birds singing. Sue (and Mr Magee the dog) were fantastic hosts, who catered to our every need, and more. The breakfast was superb, fresh fruit and pastries and the coffee wonderful. Fresh orange juice from the trees. Sue showed us around her beautiful property including the well and identified places for us to visit. We have had such a quiet, relaxed and very comfortable few days at the cottage in the lake. We will come again. Thank you Sue for being a beautiful host. You have a wonderful place 😊

The Cottage is a very quaint, cosy, tastefully decorated place to stay. It had everything in it we needed to make our stay comfortable. The owner is a lovely lady who met us with a warm welcome. The breakfast was a lovely touch with jams made by herself from her home grown fruits and she also cooked us free range eggs! We only stayed one night but should have stayed longer. We enjoyed our visit :)

The Cottage near the lake is exactly what the name says. A beautiful cottage that is made just right so you can feel the whimsical energy of it. The road there was already beautiful and mesmerizing, but the view there was incredible! The hostess was very friendly and made sure our breakfast was ready in the garden before we woke up. The dogs greeting us at the entrance was also very lovely.

Amazing cottage! It's spacious and very clean. It has a very nice patio with lots of shade where you can have a nice breakfast or dinner. And Sue is the best host. Very friendly, welcoming and helpful. We highly recommend this place and hope to come back in the future. Also not to forget, she has a very friendly dog called Mr. McGee and two cats. :-)

Pleasant place to stay in central Portugal.It is located in the beautiful garden. The host is friendly and helpful. Parking is on the property. The cottage is spacious and nicely decorated. It has well equipped kitchenette. Windows are screened against the bugs. The bed is comfy. Everything was spotlessly clean. Excellent breakfast served in the garden. Two friendly, well behaved dogs. Relaxing atmosphere.

The night at Refúgio das Buracas was the most magical night of our trip. A beautiful stone village with its sounds in the evening, a romantic evening under the starry sky on the small terrace of the house with a glass of exceptional wine. The most memorable experience on our journey through Portugal. We are sorry we didn't have time to stay longer.

The location was exceptional. The drive there and back was extremely enjoyable as the location was remote. The host was very friendly and pleasant.

Like always very well catered and we love the cheese left, is such a great treat at the end of the day.

Lovely spot in an ancient village. Great opportunity to share a bit of history in a comfortable manner.

Beautiful and clean place! Fast response by owner.

The accommodation is exceptional. Every effort has been made to retain the original design while ensuring all modern facilities are included (dishwasher, good internet etc). The bed was very comfortable and the area is so peaceful so sleep was no problem. The kitchen is very well appointed to allow you to cook if you want to. Restaurant options are limited outside of weekends so best to be prepared with food just in case. There is a lovely deck to sit on for meals and drinks. The views are postcard perfect.

this is the kind of place you will never forget. Dinis met us at the car park and walked us to the house. He had a fire going for us and walked us around the place. We felt completely cared for here as we had just arrived that day and just need time to rest. This was the perfect place and just what we needed. The love that was put into this space can felt felt and it was enchanting.

Quiet and lovely spot on the side of town. Amazing view and cozy home. We were worried if the home would be hot due to the very humid weather and no air conditioning, but I can happily say the house is very comfortable inside. Open the windows for a nice breeze. Comfortable beds and everything you need for a relaxed stay. We didn't want to leave! Highly recommend.

A beautifully restored Schist house. Comfortable furniture that matched the ambience of this lovely house There are many nice little touches and unexpected little surprises. The view from the bedroom is simply superb The kitchen is very well equipped with lots of things that are often absent (dish washer tablets, coffee capsules, etc Senhor Dinis is the perfect host and really cares about the enjoyment of his guests

This is a lovely typical house in a wonderful village close to Lousã. We enjoyed a lot the comfort and all amenities of the house. The village is located on a trail leading you to the Castelo de Lousã. We strongly recommend Casa do Cascão to anyone who would like to experience a visit to this part of Portugal.
