Casas da Alegria

Location and pick up and drop off from the train station.

Nothing

The property was beautiful. So charming and centrally located. Our host was very kind and really took care of us! I highly recommend!

AC was perfect, shower had a good temperature and pressure, Internet was fast, place was secure and quiet, big red bathroom sink was a nice touch, windows were easy to open and easy to close with wooden shutters on the inside to keep it dark when sleeping. Friendly people very accommodating with pick-up at train station, very responsive if anything needed. Everything important was provided and more including built-in washer and dryer.

Minor things could improve. Shower could use a shelf or rack for soap and shampoo. It's a traditional style home-like space so don't expect a modern sleek room. The hill to the place is steep but so is everything in Coimbra. It's about as close as you can get to the river while actually being in the ancient city. I thought the refrigerator was really tiny when I got there but it was more than sufficient for my needs.

The location is good, Thats the only thing we liked

Contrary to most people we didn’t like the studio. It was dark, dated “red sink and bathroom tiling”. !!the bathroom had a damp feeling as other reviewers have said. The window was very high so room seemed dark and lots dark wood too . Trying to be everything and to us it was like sleeping in your kitchen and looking at washer machine and dryer . The location is good and size of studio fine it needs a make over to separate the areas. We extended our stay in Coimbra and stayed in another studio nearby before and the layout and decor so wonderful by comparison We moved as this was not available ongoing.
