Unique house with lovely garden with beautiful view

We very much enjoyed the art, lighting, quirky details and history that filled this home. Convenient location across the river (less busy side), but easily accessible and easy street parking. Pedro, the host and owner, was so welcoming and full of details to make our stay in Coimbra and onwards a good one. Truly, a memorable experience!

In many respects, I feel privileged to have been able to stay in this house. Our host, Pedro, was superbly welcoming, helpful, and accommodating. Thank you Pedro!! The house dates from before 1640 (according to an old map). It is on an ancient Roman road, which is part of a pilgrimage camino. The house oozes with character. But it is also quirky, and not always user-friendly, especially to an older, mobility-challenged person. The steps to enter the house are steep and awkward. The large, deep bathtub is a challenge to enter and leave. The spiral staircase is challenging. One of our group found that the flat was cold. Yes, there is a heating system, but it involved building a fire, which seemed too prone to disaster. A more modern accommodation would probably have been more comfortable, but staying in this historic house gave us a rare peek into a corner of Portuguese history, and the opportunity to meet its charming owner.

Host was very welcoming, communicative, and generous in his recommendations to places and restaurants. The place was exactly as described, clean and comfortable, the rooftop garden is a lovely lookout onto the city across the river.
