Glamping in Schist Villages

"Great staff. Lovely pool. Great views over river "

"This is a large and luxurious hotel that's a great base for exploring the area. The rooms are comfortable and huge, the staff helpful and competent, the facilities (pool, pool table, etc.) really nice (the indoor pool is quite something, though we didn't need it in the summer). Breakfast delicious in the Portuguese manner---we never tried the restaurant for dinner but it looked fine. The Templar castle/monastery is well worth a visit in itself, and Tomar has some nice restaurants. And Coimbra, Nazare, and the monasteries at Batalha and Alcobaca are all within about an hour's drive."

"All the hotel staff, and especially Helena, were friendly and helpful. The rooms are uniquely decorated in a cool and unique ‘marble library’ motif. The shower works great and the bed is comfortable. The location is convenient to the university and the rail station. One critique: the water closet is in a separate room (good) but the door and wall are clear glass, floor to ceiling (not good unless you’re an exhibitionist). "

"Very helpful staff! Thanks a lot for umbrella and taxi in this raining morning! :)"

"Great hotel design and proximity to the university! Parking was convenient."

"Great place. Rooftop bar best view in town. Tons of dining options"

"We really enjoyed the room delivery of our welcome gift and breakfast. We were checked in quickly and efficiently. The room has a unique and fun decor. "

"Such a lovely property. Very clean and accessible. Location was pretty much in the hub of activity and was very close to most of the attractions we visited. Staff was kind and very helpful. If I come back to Coimbra, I would absolutely come back here to stay! "

"A great place to stay, spacious room "
