"Not as advertised. Essentially a room with no services at all. No staff so you have to go up the hill to the sister hotel for everything. Room was not serviced when I stayed 2 nights either. Not a satisfactory listing"

We had a little difficulty on arrival because there was a no entry sign across the road leading to the village and we went past it. We eventually found our way and had to swerve round the barrier. Had we been told about this, we would have found the village more easily.
The once abandoned hilltop village has been sensitively restored and is now mainly reliant on tourism. Our house was typical - a large picture window with views over wooded hillsides, plenty of solid wooden beams and...

We had a fantastic stay in the Sapentia. We were there for a week and got to know the local area well and built a nice relationship with the staff too. The Hotel is situated in great spot, some of the rooms have great views towards the river. The only issue is parking. The location is on a tiny street adjacent to the University. If you can, don’t have a car. If you do, prepare to have to move to about a bit potentially. The hotel helped us a lot and we managed ok, the car remained, miraculously,...

Excellent hotel in Covilhã, we visit Covilhã every couple of months for medical reasons, there are two hotels that we use, both with pools, depending upon the price at the time.
This time it was Donna Marie.
Excellent as always, everything works, is clean, and relaxing.
The pool area is incredible, a good sized indoor pool, poolside recliners, jacuzzi and shower.
The outdoor area is really cool
Lots of recliners and squishy chairs & sofas with parasols ☺️
Very good breakfast buffet, the fried...

Inez welcomed us like family and couldn't have been more lovely and helpful. Our room was beautiful, clean, modern and the bathroom and shower were excellent. To be able to walk straight from the room into the lovely garden and sit by the pond and mill stream was so special. It was the most peaceful place to spend the night.

I did have a good time at the hotel. At the center of the city, Coimbra, you could almost go anywhere.
The train is nearby so if you need to get to the hotel then, you are not that far from Hotel domus.
As it was in the center of Coimbra, I was not expecting to be quiet. It was noisy, but as a solo traveller, it did not affect me in anyway.
The hotel facilities were cleaned, affordable. Breakfast is not included in the price, as it is something you can have apart by paying 5 euros, which is...

A well placed hotel for visiting the city. Lovely art deco designs are everywhere, and the hotel has real character. Arriving during a yellow warning heatwave, the air conditioning in the room made for a pleasant night’s sleep. Breakfast was quiet varied, with a hot food option in the form of bacon and eggs.
The real highlight was the help we received from the hotel staff. They were engaging, and able to answer our queries about where places were, and how to get about using the public transport...
