Independent Schist Villages hotels

"There are several nice places on the property to relax, see the views, or have a bite to eat. It’s thoughtfully arranged. The breakfast buffet is excellent, with choices to address everyone’s wants. Staff is very helpful and knowledgeable. Nearby is the botanical garden, a treat to wander through. "

"Staff were helpful, the room was clean and parking was on site which was nice. The grounds around the hotel were quite nice which had many orange and lemon trees loaded with fruit. Pool was being cleaned when we were there and we would not go into the pool even though staff said that we could. It was quite dirty. The hotel is about a 20 minute ride into the heart of Coimbra. We would recommend a taxi or Uber since parking is very hard to find in Coimbra. "

"Very pleasant stay. Lovely staff, perfect position in Coimbra. Can’t comment on parking because I walked and public transport. Very very close to Coimbra A station. Lovely breakfast. Very close to old city and university. Very close to very good restaurants. Nice size room. Lovely bed and sheets etc. Very quiet. "

"Clean room very friendly staff. Very helpful staff. Nice area. "

"The legend of the farm and fountains are fun, the grounds are very interesting, the indoor pool was fun, the outdoor pool closed for the season, the staff was excellent, both friendly and very informative and helpful."

"Great location. Staff went out of their way to be helpful. I would stay there any time"

"This is an extraordinary place just like the photo. I was greeted with sparkling wine and cake and offered the whole bottle the following day. It is in a very challenging place in old Coimbra so you need to be reasonably fit although another lovely lady walking her dog helped me out the next night when i was lost"

"Love the concept. Nice bar area to relax and great location to explore the most wonderful city "

"lovely stay with great service from staff"
