"We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Coimbra. The accommodation is very large and is well-located with easy access to the city centre by car, transit or a little longer walk. Suite is well appointed and the check in and check out process were hassle free. The host, Ricardo, provided good information for our stay and made special provision when we arrived at a little different time than we expected. Highly recommend!"

"This apartment in the medieval part of Coimbra is close to sights, shopping and cafes. We recommend the friendly cafe at the top of the street. The property is as lovely and well-appointed as in the listing. Just off the Old Cathedral square, although a narrow, cobbled street it is a bit of a thoroughfare. If you are not accustomed to city noise at night it may not be for you. There is also quite a bit of ambient light at night. There are shutters to block the light but they will block the night...

"We had a wonderful stay at Story Studio Coimbra! The room was exceptionally clean, modern, and thoughtfully set up. Upon arrival, we were welcomed with a lovely snack basket filled with fresh bread, cheese, and local treats—such a warm and personal touch!
Even though it's an apartment without a formal front desk, the hosts were incredibly kind and accommodating. They let us leave our luggage right inside the room after check-out so we could comfortably explore the city for the afternoon. Their...

"I think communication with the host was actually a chatbot. I was encouraged to ask about early check-in and when I did the response was always the same, "ask closer to check-in time". There was music that was clear and loud piped into the room. This surprised the "host" who asked me to check for a source. It wasn't the street music and the host was surprised that it would come form the restaurant. Said would support me but I don't know what that means because clearly they did nothing to find...

"Avant même d’ouvrir l’appartement été dessus. En effet il semblerait que l’hôte ait été surpris de notre arrivée. Alors que nous étions en bas de la résidence nous ni code ni procédure d’arrivée. De plus l’accès en voiture à la résidence est faisable mais extrêmement difficile, aucune possibilité a moins de 1km"

"Beautiful apartment, spectacular view!We stayed in Apartment 1, which is on the 1st floor and is a walk-up on beautifully carved and curved stairs. The AC blew cold, the beds were super-comfy, and the showers were perfect. This is a spacious, clean, and beautifully appointed T2 with two full shower bathrooms and a fully-equipped kitchen. We lacked nothing and had a wonderfully relaxing and enjoyable stay.You are in Coimbra, though, in the old town, so the entrance to the apartment is on a street...

"This hotel was a nice surprise. The rooms were fantastic with a book theme right out of a fairy tale. The staff was helpful and friendly. The breakfast room was amazing with a great breakfast and they even offer afternoon tea with cake.the location was central near to shops and restaurants."
"The location was excellent. The balcony offered a beautiful view directly over the river, which was definitely a highlight of the stay. The soundproofing could be a little better, but overall it was a lovely place to stay."
"Côté logistique : le propriétaire du logement a recours à un contact local pour la gestion de la maison : communication facile et très réactive par WhatsApp… mais pas par mail qui sont restés lettre morte, arrivée facile, le contact local est vraiment très réactive pour répondre aux questions ou régler les aléas du séjour.Points positifs : grande maison neuve avec piscine et toboggan pour le bonheur des enfants, charmant village Penela à deux pas et à mi-chemin entre Coimbra et Tomar, idéal pour découvrir la région.Nous étions une famille de 5 avec 3 enfants de 6, 9 et 12 ans : logement idéal pour les petits et les grands En deux mots, nous avons passé un très agréable séjour en famille et les enfants étaient enchantés.Tips : la cuisine est au gaz… pensez à prendre des allumettes… (il y avait une boîte d’allumettes mais vides à notre arrivée)."
