This place is unique because of the owner and the climate he created. Antonio were very pleasant, he's energy and passion for languages, people, bonsai trees and wooden works he made were amazing. I slept very good, perfect temperature in a room, comfy and nicely scent of a bedclothes. You could also buy breakfast- which also was made by Antonio (a lot of skills). There were some disadvantages like one bathroom for everyone and you could head every step on a corridors. Good localization, like 15 minutes walk from the main street of Coimbra.

A nice stay outside of the city center! The house is beautiful and Antonio is a kind and welcoming host. All the services are good and clean. The breakfast was great too. On the last day we had to leave earlier to catch a bus and we were provided with two sandwiches with cheese, bananas and apple. Actually, Breakfast served only from 8:30 is a little late. We had to withdraw money only to pay the municipality tax in cash.
