Schist Villages Hotels

"Such a lovely property. Very clean and accessible. Location was pretty much in the hub of activity and was very close to most of the attractions we visited. Staff was kind and very helpful. If I come back to Coimbra, I would absolutely come back here to stay! "

"A great place to stay, spacious room "

"Very nice breakfast, with many choices."

"Very helpful and friendly staff. Clean room, good mattress, very nice terrace, and great breakfast. Only complaint is that the air conditioning was either all on or all off. Temperature setting did not seem to work."

"The staff and location were amazing!! Everyone went out of their way to accommodate us. We love the perks. "

"What a fantastic hotel! Central and easy to reach the castle and town. The receptionist, Fatima, was wonderful, and we had access to our room, two hours early. Fatima was extremely helpful and friendly. The room was spacious and bright, and immaculately clean. The bed was large and comfortable and the TV in a good position to watch from bed. The cupboard had tea and coffee making facilities, as well as a fridge and safe. The bathroom did not have a bath or bidet, but the shower was very powerful. The toiletries were top quality. The breakfast was excellent and the best on our two week trip around Portugal.. I would highly recommend this hotel. "

"I had a great stay. Hotel is conveniently placed, very good price and excellent breakfast."

"Quinta das Lágrimas has such an important and interesting place in Portuguese history, which we enjoyed learning about during our stay. The old house and surrounding gardens are beautiful and romantic, even in the winter. Our room was in the spa wing, and it was large and comfortable, but the “Queen” bed was actually two twins pushed together (which is common in Europe), the shower flooded easily, and the bathroom door was extremely difficult to lock and unlock. As Canadians, we were also surprised to learn that we were not allowed to use the indoor pool without a swimming cap."

"We were upgraded to a corner room with an oversized balcony looking out over the pool to the river. Spacious room, quiet, plenty of shelf and drawer space. The staff were amazing, Portuguese-friendly. Breakfast was very nice, with lots of hot and cold options including an omelet station. Location was very walkable to the Old Town, and also to the opposite side of the river and the Santa Clara monastery, plus walkways on both sides of the river."
