Casa dos Carvalhos

Close enough to the centre (short cab ride or hilly half hour walk), great facilities including rooms, shared facilities and parking. Especially enjoyed the pool and games room.

Slightly small bed but still comfy.

Plesant accommodation with all required facilities, onsite parking, and tea/coffee and biscuits/cake on arrival. We didn't see the host, but all instructions for self check-in were provided upfront.

Quiet location. Good kitchen access and nice pool and good parking. Lovely view of Coimbra from our balcony.

We are fit and have stayed in many hilly towns just a warning the hill is significant when walking up from the town.

The apartment was big and the pool area is really nice. We were glad to have it. It was a good place to cool down after the walk.

I hate to leave less than great reviews but this place needs to come with a warning. It is very far from city center at the conclusion of your day or evening. It says 800 meters or 1.2Km from the place to where everything is happening but it is 1.2km straight uphill on the way home. I mean it is a nightmare really. There is also nothing around there. One decent lunch/breakfast place but other than that you are descending to the bottom and climbing to the top if you want a good meal or if you want to see something. Also the beds were not nearly as comfortable as they look in the photos and there is NO A/C. Fine for probably 80% of the year but considering the location its probably necessary for guests.
