"What an amazing property! Outdoor space with pool, BBQ, dining table and sun loungers was used frequently. All bedrooms were a good size. View from the upper terrace was breathtaking. The walk to Luz beach gave us our daily exercise. Be prepared to purchase all paper products(toilet paper, paper towel, facial tissues) and meal preparation necessities ( even salt and pepper) No welcome package like the many places we have stayed at so we needed to hustle out to get provisions for our morning...

Solar Antigo Luxury Coimbra

10/10 Excellent
"Very unique room, location is right near University and close to Main Street and old town, Staffa are very friendly, the breakfast is brought into the room, no fancy but good for what are needed in the morning, also the water and shower has multiple heads, with strong warm water it can be a good message, highly recommend to stay so to have unique experience, best way is to get taxi so save energy to walk around later"
