"First off, the staff...this might be the best staff my wifeband I have ever encountered. Friendly, helpful and their attention to detail was top tier! Then our room was immaculate, the bathroom was gorgeous, and the bed and linens were perfect so that we could fall asleep after a long trip from the US (or a day walking around the very walkable city of Aveiro)"
"Instead of driving from Lisbon to Porto in one shot, we stayed overnight at the castle. WOW! Living in the US it is not uncommon to spend over $200 for a fairly plain room in a generic hotel located next to a highway. Our room cost less than that and it was in a BEAUTIFUL castle, surrounded by a forest with hiking trails, with nice gardens, and incredible living rooms and porches. I had seen mixed reviews of the dinner online... my wife and I had dinner and breakfast at the castle and the food and service were great... among the best we had during our 10-day trip to Portugal.
It is about 2.5 hours from Lisbon, and about 1 hour from Porto. We arrived in Lisbon from the US, saw Lisbon for a few days, then took the train to Sintra. We rented our car in Sintra, and drove to the castle arriving around 5pm. Had a great time hanging in and around the castle, had a great dinner, and a great breakfast the next morning, and then headed off to Porto. So glad we did not visit a big city, and then do a long drive straight to another fairly big city. Bussaco Palace was the perfect place to pause in between Portugal's two big cities."
"The room was clean and spacious for our family of 4, consisting of 2 adults and 2 young children. They offered us an extra bed, but the 3 twin beds in the room is already sufficient for us. The staff during check-in was also very helpful and friendly. She provided us with a lot of local information. Breakfast selection was also good."
"The hotel is very good, deserve the raining. It is a little bit far from the town center for walking, and the city is getting through alot of construction"
"The room was spotless and was more like a small apartment. You could tell the staff paid attention to details and it was impressive. There is a rooftop bar area. It’s small, but the views are spectacular- grab a drink on the first floor and head up there. You need to pick a slot for breakfast. We chose 0730- they weren’t 100% set up yet, but it was fine. We weren’t rushed and there was a good selection. Re the bed… I found the bed comfortable but the pillows a little too big. We had trouble w the WiFi near the bed but it was perfect near the couch and kitchenette.
Now… I’ll be honest- booking this place was a mistake… a literal mistake… we were looking for a place between Porto and Lisbon and I had decided on a different city, but I failed to close the tab on browser. We decided what the heck… well… this place is a gem. We loved Coimbra. We loved the hotel and the staff was amazing. I have no doubt we will be back and for a longer stay next time."
