Solar Antigo Luxury Coimbra
Staff were great but room was badly decorated and overstuffed with furniture—little room to move around without hitting toes or leg on the bed or a table. The bed was good but the furniture in the sitting area was extremely uncomfortable. Ok for one night but I wouldn’t book again.

Charming Apt in Historic House - Center
The kitchen was well equipped and the couch was very comfortable. We had a little trouble opening the front door, it requires a little push, and the host was helpful in explaining that when we contacted them on WhatsApp.
