We chose to stay here en route from Lisbon to Porto. It is an ideal hotel to stay for visits to Coimbra (the Oxford of Portugal) and the Roman remains at Conimbriga, both of which are well worth the visit. This Pousada is more modern than others but we enjoyed a very pleasant stay. There were excellent choices for breakfast... More

We spent two nights here and really enjoyed the grounds, the breakfast, and the quiet setting. Staff was very helpful and friendly. The property is well-maintained. We would note that we have never had a mattress as firm as ours was--not something we loved, but we managed. If that is a problem one might inquire about that. But the hotel... More

My wife who's birthday we were spending at the hotel was taken ill (a reaction to food eaten in another hotel) soon after we arrived. The staff could not have been more caring or supportive, or indeed the emergency services and villagers of the town. Our room and terrace (which she saw a lot of) was superb. Dining room was... More

When we arrived in this pousada, we were told that we were upgraded since we asked for a balcony. Later on, the receptionist helped us by entering her own code, to get on the internet. (1/2 hour free). The room was pleasant, the balcony overlooking the big garden and the pool was great. The drinks we ordered, were the most... More

This pousada is really old world charm. It's not a beautiful building as such but it has class and it has a luxury feel. We got a very warm welcome at check-in from two lovely ladies. Also the next morning at breakfast (buffet) and at check-out the staff were very friendly. Our room was large, and very clean. So was... More

We had a nice stay here: good breakfast, comfortable big bed, friendly staff. Just a few little things we didn't really like: the restaurant was quite expensive and the food was average. The bar has a terrace outside, it was nice to watch the sunset, but we had to wait a long time before someone came to take our order.... More

Clearly an upscale hotel, a modern, refined and very clean government-sponsored pousada close to Coimbra and the A1 motorway. Feels like a palace with large and historic public areas, large and well-furnished rooms, outstanding free breakfast, beautiful large grounds, full-open window doors that look out to 15 miles of rolling hills, towns and the Atlantic Ocean. Being American, I never... More

If you want to stay near but not in Coimbra this is a great choice...not the most modern Pousada but comfortable & a very good dining room & the staff was one of the best of any hotel in Portugal More

Some hotels are like some women: no matter how long you stay away, you never forget them and you end up there again. I look for quiet, nor for thrills, or even sunny beaches. I want to be left to myself, be comfortable and be taken care of. That's what I get here. This Pousada is nicely close to Coimbra... More
